Christian parents 'to sue school' coz boy in son's class was allowed to wear dress

Wombatman · 11-09-2017 03:55PM #1

A Christian couple are reportedly threatening to sue a Church of England primary school because it allowed a boy in their son's class to wear a dress.

The family withdrew the six-year-old from the school and will now educate him at home, alongside his eight-year-old brother, who was taken out of school a year ago after a boy in his class also began to wear dresses.

What were the odds of boys in both of their kid's classes coming in to school wearing dresses?

Could be a few Arabs in the school?

The child is there to learn and what other pupils wear is no concern of that boys parents. Plus, a school is there to educate and this has zero impact on the standard of education. Total overreaction. If the child is "ill and stressed" it is because of his parents making a big drama about things.

I hope that their lawyers are very, very expensive.

And that they lose the case.

I'd say the boys in the younger ones class drew straws to see who would put on the dress to get rid of that Bible bashers son. What a crock of crap.

At 8 years old, the child probably still believes in Santa Clause, suspicious about the Easter Bunny, confident about the tooth fairy and lets their life decisions revolve around their XBox.

They do not give a f*ck about what anyone is wearing unless its a fat man in a red suit.

So a 6 year old boy was identifying as a girl and wearing a dress to school?

This story is a crock. Surely it is against the law to allow a child whose mind is not fully developed to undertake transition.

Think these parents have got the wrong end of the stick.

No law against it, as far as I know

The school should not be mainstreaming delusion, and therefore the boy should not be allowed to wear a dress. Fair play to the Christians.

Imagine this being your biggest problem in life.

I think it is important to oppose the brainwashing of children by nutjobs. That is important.

I'd say both sets of parents are using their kids in ideological battles personally. The child who now identifies as a girl could still do so in trousers, I believe women wear them these days, and the Christians parents could allow the child to be geting on with their school day.

Some would also say the Christians are as delusional.

If the kid wants to wear a dress honestly who gives a ****.

Wow, someone doesn't like video games!!! Lol.

But these parents sound like dicks. Poor kids, it's always the parents fault for pushing their "Christian" views on their children. Who gives a **** what other kids wear.

Is there nothing to be said for normality and cop on anymore?

Yes, I'm sure the boy in the dress hasn't had any views pushed on him.

I'm not sure who's worse the christian parents for taking their kids out of school because of the boy wearing a dress or the boys parents for allowing him to wear a dress.Both sets of parents seem like nut jobs.

Does it affect your sense of self that a child can do this?

How sad for you that a 6 year old's sartorial decisions have such an effect on you.

Are you sure it's his decision?

I very much doubt that it's a sartorial decision, or that it was the child's own decision.

The child who "identifies as a girl" is even more of a victim than the christian child, as the christian child can opt out of christianity in adulthood if he so wishes - if, as I suspect will be the case, the "transgender" child continues to be brainwashed to the point of medical intervention, then it will be very difficult for them to reverse later in life. "Transgender children" appear to be the new must-have accessory for the virtue-signalling parent.

If your are a very religious parent a school today is not the place for your child to attend.

But a Church of England school would be a better bet than a secular school, of which there are loads in the UK.

All this "suspecting" seems to be based on your own biases and suspicions rather than actual facts.

We're all just "suspecting" based on a newspaper article and short tv interview.
