Nicky Morgan - very dangerous views and re-defining terrorism
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-33325654
So anybody who says they have problem with homosexuality is now a terrorist. Many Christians should be worried their kids are going to dob them in to the authorities. Overtones of the Stalinist USSR and Nazi Germany.

That doesn't even make any sense. We all have the right to be intolerant if we feel like it. And if you're "intolerant of intolerance", aren't you also intolerant of the "intolerance of intolerance." And so on, ad infinitum.
I'll stand up for the right of anyone to have feelings of intolerance, unacceptance, dislike, whatever, just as long as they remain feelings.
Why is it dangerous to look at the reasons to why a child or teenager starts saying gay people should be murdered and British democracy/laws etc. are evil?
But I agree- the proposals are dangerous at every level, because what amounts to extremism is what the government of the day says it is. In other words, the government can effectively silence the voicing of opinions it does not like. It is not just Christians who have reason to be afraid here.
The standard technique, use children against their parents.
If that is what NM is driving at, I agree. But that isn't what she said- her words could have meant any criticism of same sex sexual relationships. She needs to clarify what she said.
As I said above, there is a far wider danger here. This administration is fast becoming a danger to all our freedoms.
I certainly didn't read her saying that anybody who has a "problem" with homosexuality "is now a terrorist.".
She has a child and that child is likely going to grow up to share her homophobia.
Nicky Moron, what a morgan.
Do you think she shares ISIS's views on homosexuality? If so we'll need keep her away from high buildings.
Very good.
I'm fairly sure the equation homophobic=terrorist wasn't exactly meant but who can tell with politicians and their lack of in depth grasp of anything beyond their own bank account.
No Dicky Moron, poor / sheltered education and peers influence is far more likely the cause of homophobia.........unless your pointing the finger in a general way but actually mean a specific group? Plus, kids are kids and say and do uninformed and silly things, not good at coping or dealing with 'difference'.
I agree with that. Surveys have shown that British Muslims are 100% intolerant of gay people. She did say "extremely intolerant of homosexuality" and said it could be a warning sign along with other warning signs. If she didn't express herself clearly enough so that becomes "homophobia= terrorist" then she's just not very good at her job.
Precisely, generalisation made, but I suspect actually targeting a specific demographic (ie: calling a spade a pick)
We are such a fragmented and diverse society, that any definition would be seen as an attempt to control the masses. Next they will be passing a law to define it!

No wonder the quote in the OP says teachers feel 'nervousness and confusion' about the whole thing.
Using abusive language towards other pupils, or teachers, such as racist or homophobic insults, would already get kids into trouble. Why do the Tories have to stick their noses in and go all thought police over this?
More like the media are sh*t at doing their job and reporting things accurately. She's obviously referring to Muslims who believe homosexuality is evil. Hence why she mentioned ISIS and their view of gay people when she said it.
They either do, or they're such a statistically small group that they don't figure in surveys about attitudes!
