The UK Assimilating With Today's World.

[BIAD]

Here's a prime example of how identity politics should be placed in a sack and thrown in a river, it just doesn't work.
However, using such a divisive ploy can get a small faction what it wants -usually at the expense of another group,
but it's not a good social tenet and for the majority of a particular society, is seen as 'cheap'.

But facile conduct is what the lowering of standards brings, it demeans the public trust when adhered to by political
figures and makes news-outlets look like lazy scavenging hacks preying on their customers with low-brow playground
word-smithing.

The article itself is fairly short considering the recent scare-mongering in the lesbian and gay, Islamic archetype, but
that's because of the BBC's fear of dealing with real issues that effect real people outside of their middle-class circle.
Hence, a stunted-summary with some flowery-arrangement and NO commentary.

But the article below is about a power-grab, the act of one group demanding to take a higher position than another.
In today's current climate, the group who proclaim themselves 'different' from the standard society believe that special
apportionment should be given to bring them to a level of equality.
The reality is that such behavior usually causes the group to push for a level higher.

And so, if a diversity-worshipping news-outlet like the BBC needs to report on a situation where two minorities clash,
the best way is to write the piece as a story similar to a children's fairy-tale. It leans on descriptions of the surroundings
and a narrative that hopes to calm any of the usual outrage that lures high ratings.

But the question remains -and the BBC are too-afraid to use their usual chosen commentary to favour a minority.
Who's right and who's wrong?

Birmingham LGBT row: The view from the school gates.

'Protesters have gathered outside a Birmingham school for eight weeks in a dispute over teaching children about LGBT
relationships. As the row continues, the views of those at the gates of Anderton Park Primary are varied and passionate.

At the heart of a terraced street sits a striking, red-brick building with a spire. A sign on its fence reads "relationships,
aspirations, sparkle", encapsulating the ethos of a school at the centre of the storm.

It feels like a normal day, except for the police car and three officers that have pulled up outside Anderton Park Primary to
help manage the protests that have rumbled on outside the school since March...'

See...? Enchanting words of a warm spring day in suburbia, not a direct report on the clash between a ideological dogma
and sapphic preferences. To continue the 'Orange-Man-Bad' syndrome, the media have gathered the different minorities
together and use them as single bullets to encourage outrage and pour scorn on the general public for ratings.

But here we have two of those minorities who oppose each other and for the mainstream media, it means they can't take
sides. The reality is -and it would mean agreeing with the general public that they believe improve ratings-via-insults, is that
both sides are right and wrong.

'...The problems flared when parents and campaigners rallied against pupils being taught about same-sex relationships and
transgender issues. In recent weeks, children have been removed from classes and teachers have been threatened.

The situation has divided the Anderton Park community in Balsall Heath, many of whom are from a Muslim background...'

In the images provided on the BBC web-page, there's a common factor throughout the protesters and it isn't that they're
all Muslims, it's that they are all brown-skinned working-class men who adhere to a book that tells them queers are bad.
But in the BBC's shallow perception in their middle-class diversity, they needed to show the men's wives protesting as well.
Oddly, there isn't a photograph of a group of men AND women protesters together, which is diversity is supposed to promote.

Nobody is saying that the education of young children should be about promoting male-on-male sex or lesbianism.
Nobody is suggesting that brightly-coloured books should be handed out to the kids where pictures of 'Ram Ranch' or
'Life In A All-women's Prison' are displayed, the project was more about the day-to-day realities of a diverse western
culture.

I'd be surprised if you'd find any adult in the British Isles that want very young children exposed any type of sexual instruction,
but we have a tolerance when new ideas are discussed and allowed to carefully progress. It's all part of assisting newcomers
to assimilate to the already established arena.

Men and ......................................................................................   Women.

'...When approached by the BBC to talk about their views, most parents did not want to talk about it. Of those that did, the
overwhelming majority were reluctant to be named or photographed. Rawasia Bibi has two daughters at the school, aged
eight and 11, who she said "stand with me at the protest".

She said the protesters are not homophobic - she "lives in a neighbourhood where we've got transgender and gays and it
doesn't matter" - but that she disagreed with teaching young children about LGBT issues.
"We don't agree with what [head teacher Sarah Hewitt-Clarkson] is teaching our children," she added...'

Again, a low-brow way of avoiding certain areas of the identity-politic minefield. One denies being branded a negative
name, but by being perceived as a victimised minority, feels confident in stating that the opposing minority is simply wrong.
"I'm the good guy, it's the other guy's fault!"

'..."It's nothing to do with LGBT, they can do what they want with their lives. We are saying teach this in secondary schools,
not primary schools."Fellow parent Safina Bibi agreed and said her daughter had been affected by the protests...'

A rational suggestion from Rawasia Bibi, a proposal based on an assumption that any questions put by the children to their
parents regarding the subject may influence the child's view due to a pre-set bias from their own lives.
But it's still manipulative, it's proposing that allowances can be made due to religions and ideologies... or at least, certain
religions and ideologies.

'..."Sometimes she gets upset - she asks why the teachers and parents are fighting.
"When it comes to sex and things, why are they teaching them that? Why can't they just teach them what they need
to be taught?"...'

I'd have thought tolerance for all walks of life would be a grand lesson to be taught to children and adults alike.
But what would I know...? by now the BBC would've called me an ignorant northern racist queer-basher.

'The LGBT teaching row explained
The protests spread to Anderton Park from Parkfield Community School in Alum Rock, where parents raised a petition
in January claiming some of the teaching contradicted Islam...'

'Some...?' The same teachings upset parents of the same ideology, Jeez I wish the BBC had balls.
And this is why this case is a perfect example of the cluster-f*ck known as identity politics.
Gays have rights, Muslims have rights. Yeah, but do Musims have better rights than Gays or visa-versa?
He's black and he's white. He's not black enough to be classed as black.
On and on, like children in a playground with undeveloped minds. It's about standards.

'...The "No Outsiders" scheme, created by one of its teachers Andrew Moffatt, had been running at the school since 2014.
It was formed to educate children about the Equality Act, British values, and diversity, using storybooks to teach children
about LGBT relationships, race, religion, adoption and disability. Anderton Park had not been teaching No Outsiders specifically,
but did teach children about equality and relationships...'

In opposing factions, you can't have equality. In opposing civilised factions, you can find neutral positioning and look towards
a commonality, but if you're shackled by pietistic laws and grandiose self-importance of how you want the world to be to suit
oneself only, it's merely a race to finish ahead of one's enemy.

'...The demonstrations at its gates have been no less heated than those at Alum Rock and have even involved threats to
teachers. "I don't think anyone should be bullied about anything that's prevalent in our society," said mother of twins,
Dionne Reid.

"My kids get really upset about it, they love Mrs Hewitt-Clarkson and they say everyone's got rights. They don't understand
the protests. "What I don't like is [the demonstrators] force it on to you.".
Dropping off his son, Faizal Kareem said he was "neutral" when it came to the protests, but did not agree with what was being
taught.

"To be honest, this LGBT, I'm against it. When they grow up they will learn [these] things anyway.
"I think this isn't the time, we have plenty more issues to discuss with kids like robbery, crime, drugs; really important issues."
He wants parents and teachers to "sit and talk about things"...'

Talks that will demand the rhetoric of identity-politics be aired first. "Izzit 'cos I'm black...?" "Oh I see, you don't like gay people..."

It will only end when both groups accept to assimilate themselves into the paradigm of the majority and in a power-grab, that
can't happen unless one faction cedes ground enough for the other to deem themselves more righteous.
Then the victor moves onto finding another foothold higher-up on society's control-ladder.

"They say in Alum Rock the protests were successful and now [No Outsiders] has stopped there, that's what they are
hoping here." One mother, who did not want to be named, said the content should be taught so children don't grow up
to feel "alien" in the world.
"What they are teaching we don't believe, but I think there should be more [focus] on the children.

"In the world today they can see [different beliefs] in the media and if they have this information from school they will
know what the world is like and won't feel so alien. "Personally, [protests] are not the peaceful way of doing things."...'

An unnamed mother or the BBC slipping in their neutral narrative? Anyway, back to the fairy-tale reporting.

'...Within half an hour, the school rush dies down. A police car circles the street intermittently.

A few parents chat on the corner - it's barely worth them leaving; they will have to return at midday to pick up their children
because the school is closing early due to concerns about a planned protest. Jumshad Khan lives opposite the school. A former
pupil himself, he now has three children at the school aged four, five and nine. He thinks children should "be aware" of LGBT
issues but parents should talk about society and religion "at home"...'

One has to wonder when do these adults find time for employment with all this hanging around on corners and chatting?
Unless everyone works a night-shift.

'..."I went to this school and we were taught hymns. I'm Muslim, not Christian, [and] my parents didn't have a problem with
me being taught that. "It's a school that caters for the community, it's wrong that it's at the stage where the majority of the
community are against the institution that's supposed to be educating our children.
"The issue here is the children, they are the ones that are getting disrupted."...'

Disrupted by a particular set of parents, there's no gay protests there, you'll notice. A brown-skinned working-class community with
a strict doctrine goes against their free-thing, liberal convictions. They see people from other countries -especially with different
skin colour as lesser and to berate a lesser is to bully. How can you call yourself progressive if you use such a cruel tactic?!

'...As noon approaches, parents arrive to collect their children. The street briefly becomes busy again with families, a handful
of protesters, and people carrying rainbow flags, before emptying again as the school shuts its doors.

Rukhsana Hussain is a parent governor at the school. Herself a former pupil, she is one of few voices to speak passionately
against the protesters. "I do not begrudge them for what they are saying," she said. "However, look at what [they] are doing
outside a primary school.

"Imagine going to school for eight weeks and having to see people shouting and chanting and humiliating the head teacher.
"How is this going to affect our children psychologically?"...'

You don't have imagine anything, it's happening outside your school.
(I hate that term used in current debating. Imagining something means you're being asked to envision the others point of view
in a deliberate specific setting.  It's a trick.)

'...At 14:20, the road fills again - the largest protest outside Anderton Park Primary since the conflict began. About 200 people
gather in the narrow street, some sitting on walls, others watching from front gardens.

Some chant "our children, our choice", "let kids be kids" and "head teacher, step down". Parents wave banners, including one
that reads "don't class us as homophobic". Organiser Shakeel Afsar said the afternoon's protest was the "final step" before a
petition would be handed in calling for Mrs Hewitt-Clarkson to step down as the school's head.

He said he hoped mediation could bring "transparent, sensible talks".
"Sit us down, sit the LGBT community down, and let's thrash this out like adults and stop being so intolerant to the community
that have different views to yourself."...'

BBC:

Careul Mr. Hewitt-Clarkson, they throw guys like you off rooftops in some countries. That's how some debates are handled.
