Teaching children to reject homophobia can help stop terror attacks, according to a teacher at the centre of a gay rights row.

Andrew Moffat, who is the assistant head of Parkfield primary school in Birmingham, said getting pupils to understand ‘diversity and difference’ may help prevent further atrocities by those with extreme ideologies.

He said such lessons could stop attacks against minority communities, such as the mosque shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand, last week. He added: ‘The rise of the far-Right is very worrying – terrorist attacks. Look at Christchurch. Why did that happen?

‘That happened because someone doesn’t understand about diversity and difference. Someone is frightened of people who are different-skinned, a different religion.’

Mr Moffat has faced numerous protests because of his No Outsiders lessons, which he says he devised to teach about people from different backgrounds. But some Muslim parents said they were not appropriate because homosexuality is against their religion and their children were too young to learn about it.

Mr Moffat, who has been shortlisted for an international teaching prize, has been forced to abandon the lessons.

When asked whether he hoped a programme like No Outsiders could prevent future attacks, Mr Moffat said: ‘When I wrote it, that wasn’t my aim, but now I absolutely believe that.’

Assistant headteacher Andrew Moffat, who is gay, said he faced angry protests at school gates in February after teaching the 'No Outsiders In Our School programme' to promote LGBT equality and challenge homophobia at school

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.
