Demonstrators protesting against primary school children being taught that people of all genders and sexualities should be treated equally have been served with a high court injunction.
Birmingham city council made the application following several weeks of protests outside Anderton Park primary school in the city.
Citing “increasing fears for the safety and wellbeing of the staff, children and parents”, the council said it pursued legal action after the situation had become “too serious to tolerate”.
The interim injunction covers the streets immediately surrounding the school and prevents protesters printing or distributing leaflets, inviting others to protest and encouraging people to congregate at the entrance. The protesters will have a chance to make their case to a judge on 10 June.
According to the order published on the council’s website, it also prohibits social media being used to make offensive or abusive comments about staff members. [The Guardian] Read more
