Last month in Birmingham, in the UK, hundreds of Muslims protest at a local school when they found out the school was teaching their children about LGBTQ issues.

Many of the parents said it was confusing their kids, it was offensive, or that some of their friends had already left the country because they didn't want their kids learning about these things.

In furtherance of their protest, they withdrew hundreds of students from the school, and this would seem to have forced the school to end the LGBTQ curriculum.

A lot of people understand their nations in this world that criminalize homosexuality, sometimes it's even punishable by death.

Yet for some reason, you have a faction of individuals in the West who believe that this conservative religious community can intersect with the LGBTQ community.

But as we've seen in Birmingham, it isn't always true. While it's true for the most part in the United States, we will still see more issues like this.

Today, let's take a look at exactly what's going on in the school and the protest, and I want to go over some issues that countries have in terms of criminalizing homosexuality.

Some Muslim demonstrators said they would rather leave the UK than allow their children to continue attending Parkfield Community School in Birmingham.

Fuples were kept out of lessons for the first hour of the day. Some joined in with Chants and held placards reading education, not indoctrination. One child carried a handwritten sign which said, let kids be kids.

Some Muslim demonstrators were not allowed to go to the school and they were not allowed to go to the school.

Some Muslim demonstrators said they would rather leave the UK than allow their children to continue attending Parkfield Community School in Birmingham.

Parkfield Community School has said it wants people to be accepting and to welcome anybody.
