Same-Sex Books Removed From Schools After Moslem Anger
After complaints by parents in two Bristol, England schools, administrators have withdrawn two books and an audio tape that deal with same-sex marriage, and were intended for children as young as 4:Bristol City Council said the two schools had been using the books to ensure they complied with gay rights laws which came into force last April.Wow, that was easy! "I would like you to withdraw these same-sex marriage books"---POOF!! They're gone.
They were intended to help prevent homophobic bullying, it said.
But the council has since removed the books from Easton Primary School and Bannerman Road Community School, both in Bristol.
Around 40 are said to have gathered at Easton to speak to staff and another 50 at Bannerman Road.
Members of the Bristol Muslim Cultural Society said parents were upset at the lack of consultation over the use of the materials.
He added: "In Islam homosexual relationships are not acceptable, as they are not in Christianity and many other religions but the main issue is that they didn't bother to consult with parents.
I wonder why it was so easy for those parents to get those books removed from the school shelves? Those books were meant to comply with gay rights laws in England, how could they be removed so easily from school shelves? It's going to take a good detective to get down to the bottom of this.
We have been told numerous times by Fenris Badwulf, in his impressive series, "Activist vs Activist", that this type of showdown is going to appear more frequently as circumstances arise.
The left doesn't know what to do in a situation like this. The left does everything it can to cater to immigrant groups, and yet they are also the vanguard for the homosexual lobby. In the scenario above, the homosexual lobby got tossed to the curb by the immigrant group in question--even though there was an actual law supporting the homosexual position.
How could something like this happen?
Simple--it happened out of fear.
Let's face it, Christians have begged for books like this to be removed from schools for years, but all they were left with was the words, "intolerant", ringing out of their ears after they left the meeting. Yet, when the Islamic community demanded these books be taken away, the liberal administration folded faster than a garden chair.
However, school officials don't fear Christians. No one fears Christians. Moslems though? That's another question. School officials were willing to *suspend* the law in order to cater to these Moslems. School board officials got scared, they got spooked by the Moslems. Standing up for homosexuals was not the hill where school administrators were willing to die on.
I'm not having a swipe at the Moslems for taking their problems to the schools, I applaud the Moslems. They are working within the law and changing things they deem repulsive. Unless a group with more spine (not the Christians, obviously) comes along, you will be seeing more of these decisions being made--not out of fairness though, but out of fear.
Let the games begin!
