St Mary’s Primary School Head doesn’t want to discuss concerns about Stonewall spreading ‘gay propaganda’
Sarah
Crouch, the Head of St Mary’s Primary School, continues to give
interviews to the press defending her decision to allow Stonewall, the
militant homosexual activist group, to hold workshops in her school.
In Ms Crouch’s interview with ‘SW Londoner’, journalist Lewis Binns asked for her response to concerns raised by Antonia Tully, national coordinator of SPUC’s Safe at School Campaign, that Stonewall was in the business of spreading gay propaganda among children:
‘When asked what she thought of Ms Tully’s concerns, Ms Crouch said: “We worked with the Stonewall Education branch to give staff at the school appropriate training on how to deal with any incidents of homophobic bullying and how to challenge the use of homophobic language if they should occur.
It is a requirement of OFSTED for all schools to tackle any incidents of homophobic language or bullying and to show evidence that staff had training in this area.” She did not want to be drawn into a debate on whether working with Stonewall to combat bullying was evidence of ‘gay propaganda.’
Antonia Tully had made the following points to SW Londoner:
‘“Many parents will be very concerned that a gay rights organisation is considered to be an appropriate source of advice on how to deal with children using inappropriate language in the playground.” She added: “If a primary school takes on Stonewall’s agenda, young children will be exposed to homosexual issues, which they are too young to understand properly. “Parents expect a school to provide an education, not subject their children to gay propaganda.”
Protect the Pope comment: Ms Crouch may not want to respond to the concerns of Catholics that she invited gay propagandists into a Catholic primary school but maybe she’ll answer these two simple questions:

Protect the Pope comment: Ms Crouch may not want to respond to the concerns of Catholics that she invited gay propagandists into a Catholic primary school but maybe she’ll answer these two simple questions:
- Did the Stonewall workshop for teachers at St Mary’s use as a resource the children’s book ‘King and King’?
- Did the Stonewall workshop use the poster ‘Different Families, Same Love’? Is this poster being used in her school’s classrooms?
