A High School in London has become the first school in the UK to install a rainbow crossing. This photo appeared on the Haringey council twitter page with the message:
"@WoodsideHigh children and staff have shown how committed they are to diversity, equality and inclusion today by becoming the first school in the country with a LGBT road crossing. That's something we should all celebrate #Iamharingey"
People were quick to respond on twitter, one person writing, "Equality and inclusion don't just happen, these are values we have to fight for and defend. But this is historic."

explain the story
- what do the rainbow colours mean?
- why do you think a school has chosen to install a rainbow crossing outside its gates?
- what message is the school giving to it's pupils and the community?

- how will this rainbow crossing help those pupils that are LGBT?
- how will the rainbow crossing help pupils that are not LGBT?
- does the school want all it's pupils to be gay?
- will a rainbow crossing make children gay when they walk on it?
-"children and staff have shown how committed they are to diversity, equality and inclusion today" what does this mean?
- "these are values we have to fight for and defend" what does this mean?
- why does someone say this is "historic"?
- why do you think the Haringey twitter page uses the hashtag 'Iamharingey'? What is Haringey council saying about people who live there?
- what can we learn from Haringey?
