School worker sacked for calling LGBTQ+ lessons 'brainwashing' wins appeal

Excerpt

In October 2018, Higgs commented on Facebook about how her son’s Church of England primary school was going to teach about LGBTQ+ relationships.

Pupils were to learn about the No Outsiders In Our School programme, books that teach about the Equality Act, the bedrock of anti-discrimination law in the UK.

She wrote: ‘PLEASE READ THIS! THEY ARE BRAINWASHING CHILDREN.’

The former pastoral administrator said teaching that ‘all relationships are equally valid’ and that ‘same-sex marriage is exactly the same as traditional marriage’ amounts to a ‘viscous form of totalitarianism’.
