Some Scottish educational institutions have outlawed Father's Days cards, in an effort to minimize the discomfort of children of single mothers or lesbians. The public was not aware of this until Father's Day, when many fathers did not receive the homemade items they had come to expect. Although educational facilities in cities such as Glasgow, Edinburgh, East Renfrewshire, Dumfries, Galloway and Clackmannshire have considered the rising number of children who reside in single parent or same-sex homes and have thus implemented this policy "in the interests of sensitivity" there are still many who strongly oppose this rule. People who lobby for family concerns say the new policy is farcical because it relegates fathers to the fringe. It is stated in a report that came out in April, twenty five percent of British children are living with a single parent. Over the last 20 years, this rate has doubled. Officials from the schools explained that they are trying to balance the many diverse cultures of their students. Many schools allow their students to partake in the crafting of cards for Mother's Day. On Father's Day, however, many schools have begun a new policy which bans Father's Day cards. This followed a series of diverse politically correct measures launched in primary schools, which includes the removal of Christian references from holiday greeting cards. Divorce and the breakdown of the family unit may be the causes of this difference. Sensitivity for kids who may life in fatherless homes has become a requirement for teachers. Schools are facing bigger problem, due to the country's accelerating breakdown of the family.
