Christian parents 'to sue school' because boy in son's class was allowed to wear dress

Mother claims clothing made her six-year-old so confused he became ill

Harriet Agerholm a day ago

A Christian couple are reportedly threatening to sue a Church of England primary school because it allowed a boy in their son's class to wear a dress.

The family withdrew the six-year-old from the school and will now educate him at home, alongside his eight-year-old brother, who was taken out of school a year ago after a boy in his class also began to wear dresses.

The boys' parents, Nigel and Sally Rowe, will argue that the school has acted without due regard to pupils and not respected their rights to bring up their children according to their biblical beliefs.

The school, which has not been named, said it followed Church of England guidance and that transgender people were protected under the Equalities Act.

1. Where in the Bible does it say anything about boys not wearing dresses?

And didn't the way men dressed when Jesus was out there doing his thing, didn't they wear robes that look suspiciously like dresses?

2. Tsk, tsk.

3. I've longed for the Rapture as long as I can remember

and yes, I know it's heresy. However, it's our best hope. Either we'll go and leave bug-up-their-asses Christians behind or they'll go and we'll finally be rid of the lot of them.

4. What you said.

I've thought about writing a novel about the Rapture where Heaven turns out to be the society we can build right here on Earth after their crazy asses disappear.

5. Man these people are the real snowflakes! Such tolerance for others!

Oh and don't bother reading the comments either - every article on trans people is filled with the usual bullshit nonsense from so-called "Christian" anti-trans trolls.
