This sexual harassment in the UK is getting rediculous . For goodness sake I hug the girls here and in Botswana. They put their hands on my arm or knee it is just being friendly. I am actually worried about going back there and getting arrested. Here they pick up unknown children bounce them on their knee. I don't cos can't stand the things but again in the UK you would be arrested. And calling a black a black. I do it all the time in jest. Again, UK arrested. Good luck to.all of you in the UK. Nanny state.

Middle schools in the area were invited to present their ideas for a 'Build New World' theme, and one school 'chose' to represent LGBTQ+ - so whose idea was that?
Was it a spontaneous suggestion of the whole class, or was it prompted by the member of staff?
Are Middle School pupils so motivated by LGBTQ+ inequality that they adopt it as the ethos requiring expression by building a new world?

Am I out of touch with the young people of today?

You appear to be very out of touch with education as a whole, and indeed government and the media, if this causes you the slightest surprise.
But I'm sure you know the answer to your question.
And any statement which intends to cause harassment, distress or alarm on a wide range of topic, including gender identity and sexual orientation, is an offence under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, punishable by 6 months in prison. And you know how easily people get alarmed these days.

On that subject I read not long ago that a bunch of moozies in England were complaining and protesting about the Legs Guns Bacon Tits Query being taught to little kids in a primary school.

Little kids FFS. That's disgustingly sick. Period.

I'm sure there are normal responsible native English parents in the area who feel the same way. So why don't they team up with the islamics in this case to fight the common enemy? Doing so might even improve religion/race relations between themselves within their community.

The enemy of your enemy is not your friend.

Ontario has recently been involved in this controversial sex education of elementary students. Having a lesbian Premier may have had something to do with it. They now have a straight white guy as Premier. The former Premier's party lost 87% of their seats and now has so few seats it doesn't count as an official party. The new Premier has just cut the schools' budget by $42 million and enforced a balanced budget, and will now be pushing STEM education. It's a blunt instrument but the teachers and administrators will get the message. Trudeau has called it "frightening", and it's hard to find a better endorsement ;)))

Sorry frogs again. Would you get away with sitting at a cafe table in Paris just to chat and not order anything? They are just beyond comprehension. The owner does actually chuck them out but he is not here during the day.

He needs to charge for table and chair hire then, redeemable against the cost of actual food and drink.

A year or so ago a couple of men were asked to leave a Starbucks Coffee joint because they came in, sat, didn't order anything and finally asked to use the bathroom.
They were refused because the bathroom facilities are exclusively for clients, and when they objected the cops were called and they were arrested for loitering. There was a great public outcry and the entire corporation was closed for a day while all staff were given sensitivity training. Guess the ethnicity of the two men.

Wingco Guy Gibson's dog was called NIGGER and is a matter of historical fact written in stone, and no amount of hysterical PC ***** will change that. [-(

Off train into middle of Gilet Jeune demo. Chanting, waving banners. In taxi, sat 20 mns as huge Idi Amin lookalike driving taxi in front was arguing. Out into traffic, road closed by police. Our driver, nice friendly bloke, alternative route, blocked by Lime scooters and crazed mayoress building ops. Round and round Paris, roadblocks, diversions, building rubble, arsehole drivers.
Finally made destination, thanks to clever driver, in time for loathsome food at Gare de Lyon restaurant. Now waiting for TGV which will, thanks to a strike, take us part of the way. What a wretched disaster France is. Our driver blamed Macron and mayoress Hidalgo equally.

That may be so, but in the US, the US Geological Survey went through THOUSANDS of official maps and re-named every creek, hill, valley, river and stream with the offending word in it. Don't know who asked 'em to do it, and don't know how much it cost.

That was decades ago, and alarm bells should have gone off loudly back then.
Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.

My mother has pointed out to me that Cherry Blossom did a "nigger" polish at that time, which was a dark brown. They did black as a separate colour. She also mentioned that, in Yorkshire at least, "working like a black" was a compliment.
