A Muslim father is being prosecuted for keeping his son off school for months in a row over teaching LGBT+ gender lessons.
Jabar ‘Jay’ Hussain, 51, faces a fine and potentially jail for failing to ensure his nine-year-old went to Parkfield Community School in Birmingham.
He claimed the school’s ‘No Outsiders’ programme was ‘incompatible’ with his rights and Muslim faith.
He alleged the lessons posed a ‘safeguarding risk’ and caused confusion for young pupils about their gender identity and the decision to prosecute him was unlawful and breached his human rights.
