LONDON, April 7, 2015 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The British government must “make it compulsory that all schools’ sex education policies include a positive portrayal of same-sex relationships," the UK's National Union of Teachers (NUT) decided at its annual conference on Sunday.
Christine Blower, General Secretary of the union, said that “NUT is at the forefront in the campaign for equality of opportunity and fair treatment for all students and staff, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation,” and that all political parties contending in the May election should adopt the union's motion.
"The NUT calls for all parties standing in the 2015 General Election to show their commitment to tackling the discrimination faced by both LGBT students and teachers in schools by following the 10-point action plan outlined in the motion. This includes making it compulsory for all schools’ sex education policies to include a positive portrayal of same sex relationships, promoting LGBT History Month in all schools, and encouraging schools to develop a curriculum that is inclusive of LGBT issues," Blower said.
The proposals in the motion also called encouraging transgender students – and teachers and staff – "while transitioning” from one sex to another “and after."
"We need education policy that develops curriculum for children and young people that supports the democratic values of a diverse Britain – including LGBT equality," Blower said.
“Future governments must tackle the embedded homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia that exist in some schools,” Blower added. “Lesbians, gay men, bisexual and transgender people are all part of their local school communities as teachers, support staff, students, parents, and governors."
Critics of the teacher's union agenda have slammed the proposals as intolerant of those who reject the idea that homosexuality or gender identity disorder should be praised, with one opponent charging that the union's scheme amounts to "thought control."
Simon Calvert, the Christian Institute’s deputy director for public affairs, said, “This motion is itself an act of intolerance towards mainstream Christians and their beliefs.”
“I wonder whether Christian members of the NUT who have paid their dues can expect any help from the NUT when their jobs are on the line,” he said in a news release.
Andrea Williams of Christian Concern called the teacher's union motion a "very concerning development."
"This kind of policy is dangerous for our children who are being oversexualized at a very young age. They are being introduced to concepts and having normalized sex relationships which robs them of their innocence and is not good for their emotional and moral wellbeing," Williams said.
Chris McGovern, the chairman of Campaign for Real Education, a group that advocates for parents' rights and improvement in educational standards, said the teacher's union is engaging in propaganda.
“The rights of groups who oppose gay marriage on sincere religious grounds should be respected as much as those who support gay marriage. Thought control should not be promoted by the NUT,” McGovern said.
While NUT is calling for homosexual indoctrination for children in all schools, faith-based schools in the UK are already being targeted for not "actively promoting British values," which includes teaching tolerance of homosexuality, or face being shut down.
Last fall Education Secretary Nicky Morgan announced that faith-based schools are required to conform to the Equality Act. The new rules introduced by the Department of Education gave inspectors from the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) power to downgrade the ratings of, or even close, schools that do not comply.
The new measures were invoked in response to the so-called Birmingham Trojan Horse plots, in which radical Islamists reportedly attempted to take over state schools in order to indoctrinate children into radical Islamist ideologies.
Christian and Jewish groups were outraged that their schools were suspected of “indoctrinating or alienating” children by teaching them traditional ethics and morality.
Antonia Tully, national coordinator of Safe at School, a parents' rights campaign of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC), called Morgan's announcement an "attack on every parent in the country."
"It's quite clear that the new rules for schools actively to promote so-called 'British values' are all about indoctrinating children with a homosexual ideology. The prospect that schools will have to champion homosexuality or risk being downgraded by Ofsted strips all parents of their right to educate their own children about sexual morality," Tully said.
It is insane to think that society should change what it has always believed to appease a ridiculously small group of people who are driven by depravity and nothing else.
This is no different from teaching that smoking is good to appease smokers or that heroin is good to make the addicts happy.

You know what they say happens when good men do nothing.
"..should get interesting with s gaggle of muzzies in your class"
I’ve said it before, they should change their name to Not So Great Britain.
Ya knew it was coming, compulsory approval and compulsory participation.
This is not a problem, even for the most conservative schools, portraying a positive message of same-sex sex.
Even the testing can be positive.
Testing positive for HIV. Testing positive for chlamydia. Testing positive for herpes. Testing positive for rectal cancer...
Boy students: You will be aroused by a man’s dirty hairy rump and if not, you will be going to camp until you get your mind right.
“...include a positive portrayal of same-sex relationships,”
Yes! Show them videos of Gay Scat Porn!
Warning! Don’t go there, don’t look! You cannot unsee what has been seen!
But if you do, keep a can of lye or bleach ready to throw in your eyes after viewing.
Well, here goes.
I’m ‘positive’ that homosexual lifestyles add to the opportunities of social services to try to repair broken homes of homosexuals families. I’m ‘positive’ that such a lifestyle increases the opportunity of NHS doctors to practice their craft, as statistically, homosexuals generally suffer higher rates of communicable diseases and AIDS related illnesses. I’m ‘positive’ that homosexuality spurs the drug industry in GB, as so many millions of £s are spent by the government or research to find treatments and cures for AIDS and associated illnesses. See, it is not too difficult to see the ‘positive’ things about homosexual lifestyles.

Same sex relationships, like ... oh ... what? Something sweet and innocent along the lines of one man sticking his penis up another man's rectum?
Only thing 'positive' about that is the likely resulting positive STD/AIDS test ...
pure insanity
They are not going to convince muslims in the war on terror with that.
Good bye England. Your implosion will be a fine recruitment tool, and jihadist will not need to publicly cut your head off.
We want to be left alone to love!!!!!
But you have to teach kids about gay sex, allow little boys in dresses to use the girls bathroom, and you will be required to cater our “weddings”.
Ms. Blower? With NUT?
Hmm...
I think Islam might actually be a good thing for this disgusting depraved nation
And THAT helps confirm my belief that Islam is the “Beast” religion, and the antichrist and false prophet are identical to the Muslim Mahdi and Isa.
They could come to power to help erase the pervasive depravity, because decent people are just sick of it, and once their foot is in the door, they’ll declare sharia and start executing everybody who don’t get with the program. Because once the Mahdi appears, dhimmitude is no longer permitted. Convert or die.
