The No Outsiders project is an effort by British academicians, the purported purpose of which was to stop bullying and prejudice aimed at homosexuals. It is already operating in 14 primary schools in England and has been given £600,000 of public money.
But it turns out that these folks have a much bigger cultural agenda, including teaching kids as young as 5 to understand the pleasures of homosexual acts.
Outrageous? Irresponsible? Illegal? All of the above.
But the show goes on anyhow. Here's a portion of the Daily Mail (U.K.) report:
Children as young as five should be taught to understand the pleasures of gay sex, according to leaders of a taxpayer-funded education project.
Heads of the project have set themselves a goal of 'creating primary classrooms where queer sexualities are affirmed and celebrated'...
No Outsiders is led by researchers from Sunderland University and also involves academics at the Institute of Education and Exeter University. Books, puppet shows and plays are used to teach children about same-sex relationships.
During the project, the seminar paper says, its members have 'challenged each other to go beyond imagined possibilities into queer practice'.
The seminar will 'question the taken-for-granted of the supposedly sexless, bodiless and desire-less primary classroom' and examine 'the place of the research team members' own bodies, desires and pleasures in this research'.
