Birmingham LGBT lessons row school staff 'distraught'
"The reason is because of the breakdown in the relation of trust which we have had for so long."
She said the No Outsiders lessons use a book featuring two mothers and their child, and depicts them doing"normal things"."We are not teaching children about same sex couples in the sense of sexual relationships, what we do teach our children is that there are different families and that there are families with two mummies, two daddies.
Ms Pulley said:"During this period where we said we are putting No Outsiders on stop, we have made sure that in our curriculum and in our assemblies we do not mention the LGBT agenda, because that is the only way we felt parents could come into the room and start talking to us. "We moved what we thought was the issue to one side but we can only do that for so long or otherwise, quite rightly, we will be seen as being discriminatory to one of the protected characteristics."
She said the programme can sit"harmoniously" with Islam, adding:"In school they need to be educated to the laws of the land and at home they can follow their religion and that is fine; the two sit together."
