Now they want to ban mums and dads

This is all a result of idiots pushing their political correctness. It has also allowed foreigners which have been allowed into our country to demand special treatment such as the following news item:-

MUSLIMS WANT HAREMS

ABC News 25/6/08: Muslims in Australia are attempting once more to break down Australian laws and traditions by demanding the introduction of Islamic laws that allow them to have Harems

Now they want to ban mums and dads By RICHARD LITTLEJOHN Last updated at 01:33 05 February 2008

Schools are being ordered to drop the term "mum and dad" in case it offends pupils from a single-parent, homosexual or turkey-baster "family."

Ed Balls, who runs the department of social engineering, also wants four-year-olds to be taught about same-sex relationships.

Teachers should avoid telling boys to "be a man" or stop behaving like a "bunch of old women." And gay teachers are to be encouraged to discuss their private lives in class.

Presumably, pupils should stop saying "Please, Sir" when they put their hands up because it may upset the sensibilities of any maths master going through gender reassignment therapy.

And "Please, Miss" might cause a feminist headmistress to have a fit of the screaming ab-dabs and sue for com-pen-say-shun.

Children who use the playground taunt "gay" - as in "those trainers are so gay" - will be treated the same as racists.

Leave aside the fact that the first person I ever heard say "Oh, you're so gay" was a gay friend of mine. Any child suspected of discrimination will be punished severely under a code of "zero tolerance."

The Government commissioned the homosexual pressure group Stonewall and some obscure outfit called Education Action Challenging Homophobia to draw up guidelines on acceptable behaviour in schools.

Why not ask the Women's Institute or the Mothers' Union? Or Ann Widdecombe?

If you ask something called Education Action Challenging Homophobia, you know what kind of answer you're going to get.

For some unfathomable reason, Labour has franchised out social policy to

Children's Minister Ed Balls wants four-year-olds to be taught about same-sex relationships

single-issue headbangers.

Putting Stonewall in charge of what goes on in schools is like putting potty Pete Doherty in charge of the declassification of heroin.

This used to be a sensible organisation, with the laudable aim of ending discrimination against homosexuals.

I supported many of its aims and was one of the first in the mainstream Press to argue the case for civil partnerships.

But having ended inequality in fields such as pensions, housing and health care, and got so-called gay marriage on to the statute books, it should have been wound up.

Instead, it has extended its interference into areas which are none of its damn business.

Stonewall is now effectively an arm of the Government, receiving hundreds of thousands of pounds from the public purse for "research" and "education."

The grand fromage of Stonewall is hereditary Labour lackey "Dame" Ben Summerskill. Ministers fall over themselves to accommodate his every demand.

He gets his own way by screaming "homophobe" at anyone who disagrees with his agenda - whether it's bullying church charities over gay adoption or trying to force through fascistic restrictions on free speech.

And what exactly qualifies him to dictate policy? Absolutely nothing. No one voted for him.

His only claim to fame is as a thirdrate reporter on an unpopular Sunday newspaper and a spell helping Rosie Boycott destroy the Daily Express.

He's a professional homosexual, the political equivalent of Dafydd, Little Britain's Only Gay In The Village.

You can imagine him filling in his census form:

Sex: Gay.

Occupation: Gay.

Religion: Gay.

Get over it, love.

What gives him the right to shove his prejudices down our throat?

This Government is in thrall to the militant gay lobby.

Only last week it was revealed that sex education in schools is under the command of Chris Bryant MP, last seen performing a "sex act" on himself in a Soho nightclub and posing in grubby underpants on the internet in a sordid attempt to attract men to have sex with him.

But where's the outrage? Bryant's plans to spend Ł150 million teaching nine-year-olds about "alternative lifestyles" and how to roll condoms onto bananas barely raised an eyebrow at Westminster.

Even when there is a fuss in the papers, ministers simply ride it out and the circus moves on. Call Me Dave is so busy cultivating his touchy-feely metrosexual credentials that he's terrified of being smeared as a "homophobe."

It is a disgrace that Gordon Brown has abrogated education policy to intolerant, proselytising homosexuals.

They're the new Jesuits - give them the child and they'll give you the man.

We send our children to school to learn to read and write, not to listen to some self-pitying drama teacher droning on about his sex life.

Is it any wonder parents are deserting state schools in droves, mortgaging their futures to keep their children out of the clutches of Labour's social engineers?

Whoever thought we'd live in a country where the notion of a child having both a "mum and dad" could possibly be considered offensive.
