Quote:
UKIP MEPs are in alliance in the Ind/Dem group with the Polish League of Families party, whose leader is also Poland's education minister. Roman Giertych has recently introduced draft legislation banning discussion of homosexuality in Polish schools . . .
Is this the direction UKIP is now taking, and is MEP Derek Clark's fight against 'gay' books in schools UKIP's first step down the path forged by his Polish ally?

Further to my earlier posting above, I realise Derek Clark is a little stretched at present campaigning for the subsidiarity principle and reform of the CAP, but when he has a moment to revisit this issue I simply can't wait for his next press release: MEP fights 'gay' Teletubby!

Poland to inspect Teletubby with gay abandon
May 29, 2007
Poland would investigate children's television character Tinky Winky because of concerns the handbag-carrying Teletubby promotes homosexuality.
While the Teletubbies were "very nice", Children Rights Ombudsman Ewa Sowinska told the Wprost weekly, "there is ... an issue with one of the characters".
Sowinska would ask her office's psychologists to study Tinky Winky to see if the character was suitable for public television, she told the weekly.
Before becoming the Children Rights Ombudsman, Sowinska was a law maker of the Polish Families League, a junior member of the governing coalition.
The party's chairman, Roman Giertych, who is also deputy prime minister and education minister, drafted a bill prohibiting "gay propaganda" in schools.
Giertych said on May 16 that schoolchildren in Poland should be legally protected from material that "threatens their proper mental and moral development". - Bloomberg
