Move to educate children about LGBTI issues is an excellent idea

I READ with great interest Peter Swindon’s article (Meet the Scots teachers putting LGBTI issues front and centre in classrooms across nation, News, July 17). I think it is an excellent plan that children be informed about the various sexual inclinations in order to prevent them picking up wrong ideas and opinions which can lead to prejudices and, in some extreme cases, persecution of those regarded as “different”.

Does this mean that the teaching of Christianity, which preaches love not only for our neighbours and friends but also for our enemies, those with whom we don’t get on or whom we simply can’t stand, will continue to have a place in school curricula despite attempts to oust it?
