Parents from the Moroccan city of Kenitra, 36 kilometers north of Rabat, have sued a French mission school for teaching students LGBTQ+-related topics. Converging reports indicated that Moroccan authorities are investigating the case, which dates back to December 2022.
In a statement reported by local media, Moroccan attorney Abderrahim Jamai said that parents were shocked to learn that a teacher from the school “presented information on homosexuality and abnormal trends and spread insulting ideas on Islamic personalities and symbols that affect [children’s] religious beliefs.”
The attorney added that said teacher encouraged students to “accept the notions of homosexuality and spread views promoting same-sex relationships,” which the parents considered to be a breach of Moroccan religious and cultural values.
Upon learning about the LGBTQ+ lessons that their children had been receiving at school, parents were outraged and considered such teachings a “serious aggression against children, affecting their cultural identity, societal environment, and psychological stability.”
Jamai noted that the children in question are below the age of 10, stressing that the teacher’s actions are an “odious exploitation of their childhood.” He further described the teacher’s actions as a “crime against them [students] and a pedagogical deviation of the teacher towards children who need appropriate guidance.” Read More…
