WRITTEN QUESTION E-1486/00

by Christopher Heaton-Harris (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(11 May 2000)

Subject: EU-funded Gay and Lesbian Educational Equity Project Pilot Schools meeting in Oulu, Finland

The promotion of homosexuality in schools is currently a very politically sensitive subject in the UK, with
the Labour Government(cid:146)s recent proposals to abolish Section 28 of the Local Government Act, which
prohibits such promotion, facing overwhelming public resistance.

The first meeting of the Gay and Lesbian Educational Equity Project Pilot Schools, which is funded by the
Commission, states that one of its aims is the creation of strategies such as (cid:145)curriculum development(cid:146) in the
Member States. Can the Commission confirm that the GLEE Project will comply fully, with Article 149 of
the Treaty and will fully respect the responsibility of Member States for teaching content?

Furthermore, can the Commission also confirm that the GLEE Project will not go beyond its main
objective, which is to combat discrimination against homosexuality, and promote views that many parents
across the EU may find unacceptable?
