When faced with a conflict between gays and Muslims, what’s a poor liberal to do?
Two primary schools have withdrawn storybooks about same-sex relationships after objections from Muslim parents. . .
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. They were intended to help prevent homophobic bullying, it said.
A big problem among 5-year-olds, I understand. Had Christians complained (England still has some, I hear), they would probably have been brushed off, but when Muslims complain, there’s action:
But the council has since removed the books from Easton Primary School and Bannerman Road Community School, both in Bristol.
A book and DVD titled That’s a Family!, which teaches children about different family set-ups including gay or lesbian parents, has also been withdrawn.
I’ll bet the gays are pissed. You know, a consistent philosophy is good thing to have. Even the liberals are starting to notice that. Well, some of them.
