Discussions continue as to whether injunction will remainpublished at 15:03 British Summer Time 10 June 2019

BBC Midlands TodayProtesters opposed to LGBT equality teaching at a Birmingham primary school stood silently and peacefully outside the High Court before the start of a hearing.
They are in court to challenge an interim injunction which bans them from protesting outside Anderton Primary School.
There have been 10 weeks of protests by campaigners, some of whom are not parents, against children being made aware of LGBT relationships. Often with simple picture books about family life.
Lawyers for Birmingham City Council told the court the aim was not to prevent people expressing strongly held views on issues of equality education - but to protect the school parents and staff from what the council believes to be unacceptable behaviour.
Lawyers for the council said the protests had got totally out of hand. The courts also heard a police investigation was still ongoing into an incident in which people who tied ribbons to the gates in support of the school and LGBT community were pelted with eggs.
But John Randall QC, for the protesters, said there had not been a single arrest and that the protests had been peaceful.
He said it would require a snowflake sensitivity to regard them as terrifying or threatening demonstrations.
A trial has been set for the end of July. In court this afternoon they will continue to hear whether an injunction will remain in place until then.
