Fathers Day Banned in Scottish Schools

Some Scottish educational institutions have outlawed Father's Days cards, in an effort to minimize the discomfort of children of single mothers or lesbians. The policy was finally uncovered after many of the dads failed to receive their regular cards and handmade gifts on Father's Day. Schools in cities such as Glasgow, Edingurgh, East Renfrewshire, Dunfries, Galloway and Clackmannshire have instituted the policy in the interests of the rising number of single parent/same sex homes, despite those who aren't in agreement.

Those concerned with family rights deplore this policy, claiming that it does not pay proper respect to fathers. It is stated in a report that came out in April, twenty five percent of British children are living with a single parent. In the past two decades the rate has doubled. Officials from the schools explained that they are trying to balance the many diverse cultures of their students.

Many schools allow their students to partake in the crafting of cards for Mother's Day. On Father's Day, however, many schools have begun a new policy which bans Father's Day cards. This followed a series of diverse politically correct measures launched in primary schools, which includes the removal of Christian references from holiday greeting cards.

The breakdown of the family and divorce are cited as the reasons for the change. Sensitivity for kids who may life in fatherless homes has become a requirement for teachers. Schools are facing bigger problem, due to the country's accelerating breakdown of the family.
