Protesters have returned to a Birmingham school amid claims diversity classes which they oppose have resumed.

Families stood outside the Parkfield Community School on Thursday to demonstrate against the No Outsiders program which they say 'promotes homosexuality'.

The school recently bowed to pressure and stopped the classes, but angry parents claim they are still being taught.

Placards and posters displayed held up by children outside school read: 'Let kids be kids' and 'Education not indoctrination'.

Protesters who oppose diversity classes which they say 'promote homosexuality' have resumed their demonstrations outside a Birmingham school

The classes aims to teach LGBT tolerance, but parents don't want their children in them

Parents also called for senior members of staff including headteacher David Williams to resign.

A statement issued by Parkfield Community School on Wednesday said: 'We are looking to evolve our equalities programme for pupils at Parkfield, in collaboration with parents, to include all the protect characteristics and meet the requirements of the Equalities Act.

'During this time until a resolution has been reached, 'No Outsiders' lessons will not be taught at Parkfield.'   

The No Outsiders program was authored by the primary school's assistant headteacher, Andrew Moffat. 

The aim of the program was teach students about the positive values of diversity, tolerance and acceptance, as well as LGBT rights, same-sex relationships, gender identity, race, religion and colour.

Students, along with their parents, held up signs outside of the school. One sign read: 'Let kids be kids'

Another sign read: 'Say not to discrimination against our children'

Thursday's protest comes after four other schools in Birmingham have stopped teaching lessons about diversity and LGBT issues following complaints from parents.    

Earlier in March, parents protested outside of Parkfield Community School for the lessons to be stopped, despite Ofsted inspectors have concluded the lessons are 'age-appropriate'.  

Leigh Trust said it was stopping the program at Leigh Primary School, Alston Primary School, Marlborough Junior and Infants School and Wyndcliff Primary School until after Ramadan in May, according to the BBC.

Charity Humanists UK said the move to stop teaching LGBT classes after protests from parents who believe it is against their religious beliefs was 'very alarming'.

Other signs read: 'Say not to undermining parental rights and authority' and 'Say no to 'No Outsiders' program. Stop now!'

Members of the parent community also called for senior members of staff including headteacher David Williams during the protest.

A statement issued by Parkfield Community School on Wednesday said: 'We are looking to evolve our equalities programme for pupils at Parkfield' and that 'No Outsiders' lessons will not be taught at Parkfield'

Director of public affairs and policy Richy Thompson said: 'Schools have an important role to educate students about all types of relationships and that includes teaching respect and tolerance for LGBT people.

'They also have a duty to protect the wellbeing of all of their students including LGBT students who are at higher risk of bullying without such education.

'We urge the Department for Education to take a strong stand and support these schools in reinstating LGBT lessons back into the classrooms.'

The school recently ...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
