One of the hardest things for a person to do in this life is to be the first to put their heads over the parapet and say ‘no’ to a dominant ideology. To declare that the ideology of a nation, a tribe or in this case a school, is morally dubious, extreme or downright dangerous is to mark yourself as an outlaw to those for whom obedience to an ideology is more important than the rights of those that they are supposed to serve.

Being the one who stands up and pricks the taut membranes of rigid political, social or religious ideologies nearly always incurs a cost to those who do this. For some, such as the man who famously refused to salute Adolf Hitler because he had a Jewish wife and hated the Nazi’s racial laws, the cost was the ultimate one, he died in action in 1944 after being forcibly conscripted into Nazi penal battalion to fight in what was then Yugoslavia. For others the price of speaking up is to be physically threatened or assaulted by extremist worshippers of the ideology being challenged, as in the case of Kelly Jay Keen, to have employment terminated and to have ones name dragged through the mud because they shared a video of a Billy Connolly sketch or to be removed from the editorial position in a student newspaper because a person declared that ‘women don’t have penises’.

For Izzy Montague, a Christian mother from London, the cost of standing up to a cult that believes that primary school children should be indoctrinated with Queer ideology, has been immense both in financial and personal terms. She is only in the first stages of a fight against a school captured by Queer and Trans ideology and it looks like a fight that could go right the way to the higher or even the Supreme Court. This because a long slog through the court system from lower to higher courts has been the case for other Christians and others who have exercised their human right to conscientiously object to queer politics activists attempts to compel, under force of the law, acceptance of LGB and T identities and lifestyles.

Ms Montague and her family have been put through legal and administrative hell by a South London School after she objected to her primary school age child being mandated to take part in a ‘Pride parade’ at the school. When she made the objections she found that the school administration and management had been wholly captured by the ideologies of queer politics and the cult of trans.

From reading various accounts of what happened when Ms Montague objected to the school about age inappropriate and ideologically based relationship and sex education, it appears that the school has gone out of their way to prevent Ms Montague and other parents, including a Muslim family, from exercising their rights to have their children educated and not indoctrinated.

Her family when they could not get any satisfactory resolution from the school and its management took the school to court. Ms Montague, backed by lawyers from the Christian Institute brought a case before a Judge at the Central London County Court that alleged that the school, Heaver Primary, discriminated against Ms Montague, victimised her and that the school had breached their Equality and Human Rights Acts duties in their dealings with Ms Montague.

Ms Montague’s case failed at the County Court but the lawyer Roger Kiska of the Christian Institute writing in The Critic Magazine believes that this judgment is eminently appealable on the grounds that the school and its lawyer didn’t appear to know much about education law and that the school’s claim that the school pride parade was nothing to do with LGBT issues. There were also claims by school staff that they ‘did not know’ that Stonewall, whose posters were around the school, was an LGBT charity and instead saw it as an ‘equality’ charity.

One indication as to how much the LGBT ideology had penetrated and dominated the school comes from a description of a meeting held between Ms Montague and the school head where the headteacher’s daughter was present and wearing a tee shirt that read: “Why be racist, sexist, homophobic or transphobic, when you can just be quiet?” Prior to this meeting Ms Montague was warned by the school that if any thing ‘homophobic’ was said at the meeting by Ms Montague then the meeting would be terminated. Ms Montague’s son was also allegedly targeted for harassment by the school as shortly after the meeting where her concerns about the ideological nature of the teaching was raised, he was given detentions despite having a previously good disciplinary record.

Having read about the behaviour of the school and its attitude to Ms Montague this initial County Court judgement does look to me to be more than a little perverse.

It seems obvious to me that this particular school is allegedly quite heavily dominated by LGBT ideology and that some parents, not just Christian ones, quite rightly in my view object to this ideology being foisted on their children. However the response from the school to parent’s objections has been to paint the parents as bigots and not to try to understand this issue from the parent’s point of view.

I believe that this is a case that will run and run and will end up in the higher courts and maybe even the Supreme Court or even the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg as has been the case for other Christians who wish to follow their religious consciences rather than bow down before the advocates and votaries of the LGBT ideology. This is likely to be a very long fight for Ms Montague and her lawyers but if they can win this case then we all, no matter what our belief, benefit from it. Activist teaching staff and ideological teaching and learning policies are a menace to us all and it’s about time that this menace was removed and schools revert to educating children rather than merely indoctrinating them in the staff’s favoured ideology. This school has apparently been treating those Christian and Muslim parents who don’t want their children indoctrinated with LGBT ideology like dirt and what’s worse is that this is probably not the only school in the UK that is behaving in this manner.

I applaud Ms Montague for standing up and putting her head above the parapet like this, it must be stressful for her and her family to do this but she has helped to reveal the extent that this particular part of the identitarian cult has managed to influence her children’s school. By her actions she is inspiring other parents to examine what is going on in their children’s schools and even though she has failed in the initial aim of getting justice at the County Court level, this inspiration is something to be praised.
