'I was surprised to see some of the material.'
A book claiming being gay is a “sin” has been used in a religious Glasgow high school, a councillor has warned, despite efforts to boost LGBT rights.
Councillor Higgins, who didn’t name the school, added: “ I know this caused upset to a number of my pupils. I didn’t teach that chapter but pupils tend to go for a look through the books when they know it is there. These contents and materials in Glasgow City Council schools still is concerning and is opposed to the TIE values and the values we say we have in Glasgow City Council. It is worth reviewing that.
Responding to the politician’s points, a council officer said: “For a number of years we have been trying to work even closer with the Archdiocese of Glasgow .” “We try to work closely with the headteachers and school communities to encourage the usage of appropriate material. But I think frankly it is a tough nut and we can only keep pushing for it.”
