several examples in the link but:
//Also included in the BHA's list of "high concern" schools is Hallsville primary school in Newham, east London, which it criticises for using the phrase: "There should be no direct promotion of sexual orientation."//
So are saying that the school should be promoting it then?

Based on TTT's quote it seems they are advocating this wheter it is official policy or not. M
why did that choose to post when I'd not (*^*&%^&%|&^$^&£$^%£$%^ !!!!!! finished ? I hate laptops !
Based on TTT's quote it seems they are advocating this whether it is official policy or not. Maybe I should go and read the BBC link now.

The quote from TTT above seems to go further...

"Hallsville's sex education policy makes it clear that there should be no direct promotion of sexual orientation. This is in line with DfE guidance that school policies must not discriminate unfairly on grounds of sexual orientation or promote any sexual orientation."

So they would appear compliant.......?
Explain yourself mikkin?
Well spoonboy, WHY does it need to be promoted????
Explain your reasons why you feel that way?
I wonder if this applies in Muslim schools in the UK? As I understand it, homosexuality is frowned upon in Islam. So are Muslim schools to get "special dispensation"?

Ive explained spoonboy.... It doesnt need promoting!!! Now you explain why you think it does.
I will rephrase my question Mikkin. What have you got against homosexuality, and why? Does it affect the way you live your life?
Why should you think I have anything against homosexuality? Live and let live as far as im concerned. But why does it need promoting?? I dont agree that it should be forced on impressionable young kids!

Because promoting it could be seen as discriminatory to heterosexuality and vise versa, assuming that is what is being referred to in the OP. So you don't promote one above the other but consider them as equal.
Fair enough. And thank you. But, I did not say whether I agreed with it or no. Although I am homosexual, I was against lowering the age limit down to 16, as I could see opportunity for predators to strike on a less mature 16 year old and blame it on the victim. But, surely, in higher schools while there is a programme of sex education there, it cannot be wrong replying to pupils who ask questions about sexual orientation, and if the subject is broached, also fetishness, or be seen as promoting homosexuality or fetishness?! Or should we as a nation make it illegal for kids to even ask about such things!!
Talking about homosexuality will not make someone gay.

Question Author
even under section 28 homosexuality could be discussed questions asked and answered. All it did was prevent the promotion thereof. Now it seems that not promoting it is not allowed.
