<\/a>Protesters from a Disciples of Christ church held signs that read, “Christ is King,” “End the persecution of Christians,” and “the one true faith.” They also held a banner that read, “Headteacher Stephanie Mander wants to cancel Easter \u2013 let\u2019s cancel her!”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Headteacher Stephanie Mander stated the decision was made “in the spirit of inclusivity and respect for the diverse religious beliefs represented” in the school’s community.<\/p>\n
Instead, the school plans to celebrate Easter within the classroom setting, aiming to create an environment where all children feel included.<\/p>\n
Stop Transgenderism Now!<\/b> \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n The decision has met with significant opposition from parents and community members.<\/p>\n Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman labelled the move as “cultural surrender,” emphasising the importance of preserving Britain’s Christian roots.<\/p>\n Dr. Gavin Ashenden, a former chaplain to the Queen, criticised the school’s leadership, describing the cancellation as an act of “Christianophobia” and a failure to uphold the nation’s cultural identity.<\/p>\n Many parents shared that they only learned of the cancellation through a quiet notice and felt blindsided. A few parents expressed frustration that their children had spent days preparing for the Easter Bonnet Parade, only to be told it was no longer happening.<\/p>\n Return to the UK’s Christian Constitution \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n While the school maintains that Easter will still be acknowledged through classroom activities, we argue that removing public celebrations diminishes the significance of the holiday.<\/p>\n The situation at Norwood Primary reflects a broader trend in the UK, where traditional Christian observances are increasingly sidelined in public institutions under the banner of inclusivity.<\/p>\n For instance, Adderley Primary School in Birmingham reportedly renamed Easter eggs to “chocolate eggs” to avoid Christian connotations. Such changes raise questions about the balance between “inclusivity” and the preservation of cultural traditions.<\/p>\n Support NCCSS \/ Christian Voice \u2192<\/a>\n Who\u2019s really in charge of this government? Is it the elected leaders, or the unelected cultural forces that seem to be pulling the strings behind the scenes? While this administration talks about unity and stability, it is clear that the ideological undercurrents shaping public life run far deeper than any manifesto.<\/p>\n From schools to media to corporate training rooms, a new orthodoxy dominates\u2014one that prioritises identity politics, erases tradition, and dismisses dissent as bigotry. Under this climate, even long-standing Christian customs like Easter parades or nativity plays are deemed too controversial or \u201cexclusive.\u201d<\/p>\n And what has this government done to challenge it? Very little. Instead of reasserting Britain\u2019s heritage and values, it appears to be tiptoeing around cultural radicals who demand endless appeasement.<\/p>\n Rather than defending common sense, the state has become a quiet accomplice in the redefinition of everything\u2014from gender and family to faith and national history.<\/p>\n The concern is not only about who occupies 10 Downing Street, it is about who controls the narrative.<\/p>\n Ask us to come and speak at your church \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n Today\u2019s children are growing up in an education system more focused on pronouns and cultural sensitivity than literacy and national history.<\/p>\n From early years, they\u2019re taught about gender identity and diverse family structures, but what about traditional values, the Bible, or national heritage?<\/p>\n Confusion, not clarity, now defines childhood education. When Christmas, Easter, and even gender are treated as \u201coffensive,\u201d what morals do children develop? When schools preach the virtue of \u201cself-identification\u201d over self-discipline, where is the foundation for resilience and moral character?<\/p>\n The Bible says, Children need stability, clarity, and truth, not ideology dressed as education. If we fail to give that, we fail the next generation. But today, it seems we are training children not in the way they should go, but in whatever direction feels politically correct.<\/p>\n Britain stands at a cultural and spiritual crossroads. Will it reaffirm its Christian roots and protect its children from ideological confusion, or will it continue down the road of cultural self-erasure? The time to decide is now.<\/p>\n The church, parents, and community leaders must reclaim their voice. Christianity is not an outdated relic\u2014it is the moral and cultural bedrock of this nation.<\/p>\n In 2 Timothy 4:3-4, Paul wrote: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears…And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.<\/b><\/p>\n We are in that time. And unless this generation begins to speak boldly and clearly, Britain may soon forget who she is\u2014and who she was meant to be.<\/p>\n Nursery bars \u2018Transphobic\u2019 toddler \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n Government to end sex education for children under nine \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n Son of Tavistock: NHS to open six new children\u2019s gender clinics by 2026 \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n Schools defy ministers: children \u2018change gender\u2019 without parental knowledge \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n NHS bans puberty blockers for children \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n READ<\/b>:Gen 1:27-28; Exod 18:21; Lev 19:03 ;1Sam 08:03; Psa 144:12 ; Prov 3:12, 11:14, 29:2; Isa 03:04-05; Matt 15:04a; Luke 02:51.<\/b><\/p>\n .<\/p>\n PRAY<\/b>:Pray for our education system.
