* During March 2019, British Muslim parents began protesting Parkfield Community School, a town where more than a third of the children are Muslim, due to the school's implementation of a "No Outsiders" sex-education program. The aim of this program was to provide students with lessons on same-sex relationships. The protest led to the school backing down by no longer following through with the "No Outsider" program. Regardless of this, the school's minister emphasized that the school tries to express equality.<ref>{{Cite news |date=7 March 2019 |title=British Muslim parents oppose LGBT lessons in primary school |newspaper=The Economist |url=https://www.economist.com/britain/2019/03/07/british-muslim-parents-oppose-lgbt-lessons-in-primary-school |url-status=live |access-date=6 November 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200213180948/https://www.economist.com/britain/2019/03/07/british-muslim-parents-oppose-lgbt-lessons-in-primary-school |archive-date=13 February 2020 |issn=0013-0613}}</ref>
