Schools found ‘indoctrinating pupils about gay people’ will face being closed down under new rules designed to promote ‘British values’, the Government confirmed today.
The Department for Education insisted it was ‘nonsense’ to suggest teachers would have to give lessons on gay rights.
But a spokesman insisted Ofsted, which has introduced the new rules the wake of the Islamist Trojan Horse plot to radicalise pupils in Birmingham, was right to ensure schools were not breeding grounds for homophobia…
It came after the Education Secretary Nicky Morgan – who said last week that she had changed her mind about gay marriage after voting against its introduction – warned schools not to ‘close minds’.
She told the Sunday Times that schools must teach ‘pupils to respect other people even if they do not agree with them’.
