Two British schools have recently come under criticism for reintroducing terminology from Tory Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s Section 28 by banning the “promotion of homosexuality” in classrooms.

Castle View Enterprise Academy in Sunderland, Swindon Academy have reintroduced anti-gay language from Section 28, which banned the “promotion of homosexuality”, into their Sex and Relationships Policy. The schools’ policies state that while “objective discussion of homosexuality may take place in the classroom, the governing body will not permit the promotion of homosexuality”.

Update: It has emerged that the policy at Colston Girl’s School in Bristol was withdrawn in late June, and the school announced it would review the policy. It has emerged, however; that more free schools have introduced similar policies than originally reported. More to follow.
