Liberal Democrat Youth & Students (LDYS) have launched a campaign to stop homophobic bullying in schools. This important campaign was launched at over 150 fresher fayres across the country including at the Bucks Chilterns University College freshers day. Local Wycombe members distributed loads of pink badges with the satirical slogan “Homophobia is Gay”.
The pink badge initiative is part of a larger Liberal Democrat campaign calling for the Education and Inspections Bill to be amended. The LDYS wants elements of the bill to be changed, to include training for teachers on how to tackle homophobic bullying and specific policies on anti-gay bullying.
Support for the Liberal Democrat campaign can be shown online at www.standuptobullying.org
If anyone locally would like a badge the local Liberal Democrats have got a further supply which can be obtained by emailing ian.morton@wycombelibdems.org.uk
