Christian mother sues 4-year-old son’s school for refusing to excuse child from LGBT march despite her religious beliefs: The case is the first time a U.K. court has been required to assess the legality of imposing LGBT ideology on primary schools

During the court hearing, Mrs. Montague expressed her concerns not only about the pride march, but also about the educational content being shown to her 4-year-old son during lessons. In one book the children had been reading, there had been references to a same-sex family.

When questioned by the school’s lawyer on the content of the letter detailing the pride event, the mother said she felt it was an attempt “to indoctrinate it onto us by passing it off that it was part of law or part of British values, or it was part of the national curriculum; it was trying to sell something no one wanted to buy.”

“It felt like it was lecturing me about something to do with British values and somehow we weren’t adhering to British values,” she added.

She told the court she acknowledged the importance of promoting diversity and equality, but believes this can be done without infringing on individuals’ religious beliefs. She dismissed the notion that the letter was sent out during pride month, insisting, “A month that celebrates sexual lifestyles is a problem in any month.”

Mrs. Montague is being supported during the hearing by the Christian Legal Center.
