School Spies Should Report
Anti-Homosexuality to Police, Says
By Gudrun Schultz
LONDON, United Kingdom, January 2, 2006 Students and parents should report
schools to the police for “homophobic hate crimes”, if the institutions fail to
adequately address anti-homosexual beliefs and language among the student body,
a new report by the Home Office said last week.
The paper defined “homophobia”--a word manufactured by homosexual activist
groups to identify opposition to their movement--as “resentment, or fear, of
gay and lesbian people,” including “just a passive dislike of gay people,”
according to a report by This London.
"Schools can be a little concerned about a negative impact on their
reputation, that it would be perceived as a school which has problems rather
than one which deals with them positively," the report said.
Urging that school incidents be reported to a "hate crime
co-ordinator", the report said it would be “dangerous to assume that
homophobic incidents do not occur in a particular school as victims and
witnesses might be too worried or frightened to bring the abuse to greater
attention."
According to This London’s report, homosexual lobby groups have reacted to the
trend among teenagers who use the word “gay’ as a common insult, divorced from
any awareness of the actual sexual orientation of the person they are
insulting.
The report was called “desperate” by Colin Hart of the Christian Institute.
"There is an element of desperation about this advice, Hart said. “No-one
wants to see any kind of bullying in schools. But this is not about bullying of
pupils who others think are homosexual. It is about punishing schools unless
they try to stop pupils using "gay" as a perjorative word."
Among the Home Office recommendations was the creation of “third party
reporting centres” set up by homosexual activist organizations, who could act
as collecting points for information on “homophobic” incidents to pass on to
police, from individuals who might be reluctant to contact the police
themselves.
Police should maintain a record of the names and personal details of those
individuals identified as anti-homosexual by the activist groups, the report
said.
As well, the Home Office called for school officials to incorporate lessons
against anti-homosexuality into school timetables, and to institute homosexual
“awareness weeks.”
The report was endorsed by Lancashire Assistant Chief Constable Michael
Cunningham--one week earlier Cunningham’s force was required to pay £50,000 in
damages to elderly couple Joe and Helen Roberts, who complained of police abuse
of power after they were questioned in their home for opposing homosexuality.
The Roberts’ had complained to their local council about its open endorsement
of homosexual “rights.”
