We have asked you whether LGBT rights should also be included in faith schools' curriculum and you said: YES.

More than 50% of the people who took the poll said they would like to see gay rights taught at parochial schools  (yeshivas).

Over 36% said they wouldn't like to have their children discussing the topic at school whereas 12% said that it would depend on how the subject would be taught.

The poll was set after theEducation Ministry said that faith schools will not be forced to include LGBT rights in their curriculum. after they sent in Government Inspectors Teach Jewish Girls About Same Sex "Marriage" In Orthodox Girls Schools.

A reader has reacted to the poll on our Facebook page.
