BNP threatens protest at headteacher's home over sex education proposals

Far-right party orders Grenoside Community primary school in Sheffield to drop 'evil plans bordering on paedophilia' to extend syllabus to infant pupils

British National party activists have warned a primary school's headteacher and chair of governors that they will face demonstrations outside their homes if they do not drop plans to extend sex education lessons to children aged four.

A delegation from the far-right party picketed Grenoside Community primary school in Sheffield over proposals that would see children aged between four and six being taught about reproduction in mammals. Older children would be taught about the human body, including naming the sex organs, as well as receiving guidance on "good and bad touching".

BNP activists, who arrived as the school was preparing to close on Tuesday, demonstrated outside and handed in a letter warning the head: "We believe that your evil plans to introduce these children to sex at such a young age borders on paedophilia and that it is not acceptable."

The letter was copied to the school's chair of governors and Sheffield city council's executive director for children, young people and families. It warns: "We hope that you will see sense and we hope that no further action is needed, although we are ready to involve ourselves further on behalf of the silent majority if you insist on going further down your present road."

The BNP's leader, Nick Griffin, tweeted: "Small BNP team went to Grenoside Primary School, Sheffield today. Leaflets v plans for sex … lessons from age 4. Mental paedophiles behind sick plan must drop it or face demos at home too."

The school is consulting parents over changes that were originally scheduled for introduction in the spring or summer next year. The proposals will extend sex education to younger children.

The school's headteacher, Colin Fleetwood, said: "This is an attempt to teach a more systematic approach throughout the school. It's also more systematic about the science part of it."

He said that while a small number of parents did not want any sex education lessons in primary school, and others thought it was too early, the "vast majority" had been supportive of the changes.

For the youngest children, the lessons would involve being taught about baby animals, Fleetwood said. "It's mummy rabbits and daddy rabbits."

In response to the BNP demo, the school has sent a letter to parents saying the consultation will continue, and that the school's parents and governors will take a decision on the proposals.

Fleetwood said: "Obviously it's extremely unpleasant to have the BNP threatening to demonstrate, and receiving an ultimatum is not a pleasant thing. We're actually carrying out a very successful consultation with our parents, with a high level of engagement."

The Department for Education (DfE) recommends that all primary schools should have a sex and relationship education programme, but this guidance is not binding and it is up to schools to decide what to teach about reproduction and puberty beyond the science curriculum.

All children need to know about puberty before the onset of physical changes, the DfE says.

A DfE spokesman said: "Teachers have a right to do their jobs free from harassment, intimidation and abuse. The teaching of sex and relationships education in primary schools is a matter for schools and parents – it is not an issue for outside organisations to get involved in."

What a fucking joke. A party with a pervert who likes to be shit on, one with a wife who likes to be filmed fucking anyone in sight and an ex-teacher who tried to shag a pupil. Hypocritical cunts.

And a party led by one of the biggest crooks in England. You forgot that bit.

So you attack the BNP rather than focus on the real issue. Can I ask an open question that will get posted on here? What do the readers of this site think about primary age children being taught homosexuality?

I think any school that teaches their kids about "good and bad touching" is doing a good job with that lot hanging around outside!

Nowt wrong with that. Kids need to be taught about relationships: whether the far-right approves or not, that includes gay relationships.

I suggest you read the article. It's not about teaching homosexuality, it's the facts of life, birds and bees etc. and the use of mummy and daddy rabbits to do so. Secondly we attack the BNP because they have stuck their dirty noses into something which doesn't concern them (once again) - this is a party whose Yorkshire organiser made threatening comments including antisemitism just last week, and has been ordered to hijack a Daily Mailist cause just to cover up for it. And which is crammed full of sex offenders and childbeaters, the evidence of which is held in the offices of Searchlight and other sections of the press and even the police. Not the sort of people one would want hanging around outside one's local school, eh!

ps very good point Ketlan, 'gay' is still a term of playground abuse.

This stinks with the Perverts WALKER brothers, being involved one chases young boys with KNIFES and the other grooms young school girls. They have both molested young bnp girls at meetings and should both be put on the SEX OFFENDERS register. No wonder the BNP are finished with all these PEADO;s in the party.

I am sure there are many views on the subject, the point is we can have a rational debate on the subject and then reach a majority decision which all abide by, we wouldn't use intimidation and threats to get our way.

Not, surely, 'taught homosexuality', but 'taught about homosexuality'?

Lol. Let's stick to the issue he says, and goes off the issue and starts talking about homosexuality? C'mon, out the closet now.

It is not all about "homosexuality", you know. Primary school teachers introduce the basics of animal and human sexuality in terms children will understand. They demystify what is only natural, basic and important to us all, and included in sexuality are the changes that each child will be experiencing, their feelings, love, and other elements of human sexuality and reproduction, including sexual health and the right to say no. One immediate goal is to reduce the numbers of teen pregnancies and stds in this country through such information.
Why do you single out juat one item - homosexuality - and worry so much about it?
Weird.

Sex ed BNP-style. First get your daddy to scrounge thirteen and a half grand from the Great British Public, and invest it in some private IVF when you grow up. Meanwhile, Mrs.Kitchen, Mr.Walker, Mr.Walker and Mr.Collett will answer any questions you have on how we came to be, Aunty Rachel will give you some of her guns toplay with, and if you don't agree then it's a visit to Headmaster Mr.Lumb's office for something very violent indeed.

Hmmm, BNP fascists obviously don't realise kids of 2011 grow up quite speedily!

"What do the readers of this site think about primary age children being taught homosexuality?" The BNP demos and opposition by some parents to the policy weren't about homosexuality. Jordan Pont got himself involved on Sheffield Forum but didn't stay around long enough to have parents' anger at the BNP thrown back in his face. The Sheffield Star website is reporting that Grenoside Primary has now cancelled the Christmas Fair but John Beatson is banging on about homosexuality nontheless. The BNP has brought a lot of damage onto itself doing this.

If it's taught using methods appropriate to the age, and with the agreement of parents, then there's nothing wrong with that.

Countries with early sex education have lower rates of STD's and teen pregnancies.

However, fascist hypocrites like the BNP aren't interested in reason debate, only Daily Mail hysteria.
