From a very young age, we are taught that Islam teaches us that after our parents, our teachers are most deserving of respect. It must be an extremely confusing time for the Muslim parent in Leytonstone, London. For up to 30 parents may face prosecution for withdrawing their children from school, disobeying the teachers in the school, simply to secure a decent moral upbringing for their children. The school had decided to have a week of lessons about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history. Part of this was a special adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet retitled Romeo and Julian as well as fairytales and stories changed to show men falling in love with men. Rather than filling the heads of impressionable boys and girls with fatuous drivel about gay penguins, schools should be ashamed of the fact that they are sending children out into the world barely able to read, write and add up properly. Muslim children are leaving schools without learning their cultural roots and linguistic skills. The action was being taken against the parents as part of a policy of ' promoting tolerance'. So why not tolerate parents, who, for sincerely-held reasons, consider their children too young to be taught about gay relationships? This isn't education, its cultural fascism. A record numbers of pupils persistently played truant in 2006-07, with around 272,950 pupils persistently absent in 2007, missing more than 20% of school. We rarely see councils prosecute the parents of these persistent truants. Yet, the parents who removed their children as a one-off to protect their morality may be prosecuted! If the local council does decide to go through with a prosecution, it would be in line with the government's approach to the Muslim community. Muslims who believe homosexuality is a sin would be labelled as extremists. Liberal totalitarianism is a growing phenomenon in Britain and the west in general but many people will be shocked that the school can override a parent's view of what's appropriate or inappropriate to teach their children. This latest episode should be a wakeup call for Muslim parents. Muslim parents MUST explain our moral standards to schools and be prepared to take steps to protect our children’s morals and values from a growing agenda to impose liberal values upon them. This is an eye opening for those Muslim parents who keep on sending their children to state schools to be mis-educated and de-educated by non-Muslim monolingual teachers. The solution of all the problems facing Muslim children is state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers. Those state schools where Muslim children are in majority may be designated as Muslim community schools. Bilingual Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods.

We have a system that deals efficiently with these problems and do not need to be told how to teach our children these concepts that ultimately lead to our children following a set of values that are not workable and are not islamically approved. Is the writer of this article just stating that we should withdraw our children from SRE classes or be proactive and involve schools in a consultation process which will dynamically change forever how SRE classes is not the answer to the societies ills. What are the practical ways that these points can be addressed starting from what we can do today. - siyaasa Sun, 10 May 2009 14:27:11 +0100 http://www.hizb.org.uk/hizb/resources/issues-explained/compulsory-sex-education-for-5-years-olds-the-states-liberal-indoctrination.html#comment-4833 As parents, we are justifiably concerned and should do our utmost to protect our children from these corrupt kufr ideas such as removing them from SRE lessons. However, we should also recognize that these ideas stem from their values of freedom and that will never change. So removing our children from lessons and petitioning is not enough and that the only permanent solution is the implementation of an Islamic system that will secure our values, inshallah. - N Omar Sat, 09 May 2009 23:12:28 +0100
