Parents opposed to LGBT material being shown to their children protest outside Manchester primary school

Parents opposed to LGBT material being shown to their children staged a protest outside a Manchester primary school on Tuesday (July 4). Around 100 people were reported to have demonstrated outside Birchfields Primary School in Fallowfield in the morning, with more attending in the afternoon.

Protesters were heard chanting 'shame on you' and 'too much, too soon', while holding signs reading 'stop sexualising our children'. Some attendees were not associated with the school, but were there to 'marshall' the protest, the Local Democracy Reporting Service has been told.

One of the organisers - a parent of four children at the school - has now been banned from entering its grounds. Mohammed Sajjad denies allegations his behaviour towards school staff has been threatening and intimidating.
