VERBOTEN IN SCOTLAND!!!!
Father’s Day cards banned in Scottish schools – Telegraph — This is getting out of control. But where are these idiots getting their cues?
The politically correct policy was quietly adopted at schools “in the interests of sensitivity” over the growing number of lone-parent and same-sex households.
It only emerged after a large number of fathers failed to receive their traditional cards and handmade gifts.
Family rights campaigners last night condemned the policy as “absurd” and argued that it is marginalising fathers, but local authorities said teachers need to react to “the changing pattern of family life”. An Office for National Statistics report in April found that one in four British children now lives with a lone parent – double the figure 20 years ago.
The Father’s Day card ban has been introduced by schools in Glasgow, Edinburgh, East Renfrewshire, Dumfries and Galloway and Clackmannshire.
Tina Woolnough, 45, whose son Felix attends Edinburgh’s Blackhall primary school, said several teachers there had not allowed children to make Father’s Day cards this year.
The making of Mother’s Day cards and crafts, in the run-up to Mothering Sunday, remains generally permitted. But the Father’s Day edict follows a series of other politically correct measures introduced in primary schools, including the removal of Christian references from festive greetings cards.
