School teachers in the United Kingdom have been warned against using the words “mom" and "dad” because it assumes all students have heterosexual parents.
The new school guidelines, which were produced by a gay-activist group for the Department for Children, Schools and Families, are intended to address bullying. Students as young as 4 are to be taught about same-sex couples to avoid “homophobic attitudes.”
“No child should be subject to demeaning or denigrating language or treatment,” said Jeff Johnston, gender issues analyst for Focus on the Family. "But it is an entirely different matter to teach children that God’s design for marriage is the equivalent of a gay relationship. In the United Kingdom, you now have the state teaching children in direct opposition to the Christian faith.”
To promote homosexual role models, homosexual staff members are encouraged to discuss their private lives with students. The guidelines also advise teachers that telling boys to act like men leads to “bullying of those who do not conform to fixed ideas about gender.”
