MUSLIM parents claim to have taken their children out of a primary school to stop them being taught about gay rights.

They accused gay assistant headteacher Andrew Moffat of promoting LGBT causes without their consent.

Mum-of-three Fatima Shah, 29, has started a petition demanding Parkfield Community School in Birmingham stops teaching children about homosexuality, which is banned under Islam.

She said: “It’s totally wrong. Children are being told it’s OK to be gay yet 98 per cent of children at this school are Muslim.

"It’s a Muslim community. I’ve taken my daughter out and other parents have, too.”

Mr Moffat, who was made an MBE for campaigning against homophobia, has piloted a reading programme, called No Outsiders.

It means the 470 pupils at Parkfield are read stories such as Mommy, Mama and Me and King & King.

Labour councillor Mohammed Idrees has told the school it must listen to parents’ concerns.

But Parkfield, rated outstanding by Ofsted, denied any children had been withdrawn.

It said: “No Outsiders allows us to raise awareness of these differences so that children are able to tolerate differences in our society.”
