One in five schools in Norther Ireland cover lesbian, gay or bisexual issues

Just over one in five schools in Northern Ireland have said they cover lesbian, gay or bisexual (LGB) issues with pupils. That is one of the findings of a Department of Education (DE) survey of more than 420 schools. Schools were asked whether they covered LGB issues in relationship and sex education (RSE) or other parts of the curriculum. More than half - 59% - said they did not. Just over 21% said they did cover LGB issues with pupils and 19.4% preferred not to answer the question. Additionally, almost seven out of ten respondent schools said they were not aware of ever having any LGB pupils.

One in five respondent schools said they were aware of having LGB pupils. The questions were posed as part of the department's school omnibus survey 2016. A total of 424 schools were involved in the survey, of which 310 were primary schools, 91 post-primary schools and 23 special schools.

"As the actual number of schools that respond to the survey is relatively large, it is likely to be representative of all schools," the department noted. Previous surveys have found that post-primary schools were much more likely to raise LGB issues with pupils than primary schools.

However, revised guidance on RSE published by the Council for Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) said that primary schools should teach pupils about sexual orientation and gender identity. "Schools should handle the issue of sexual orientation and gender identity in a sensitive, non-confrontational and reassuring way," it recommended. "In the primary setting, schools can do this very effectively by teaching about difference in Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE)." "Relationships and sexuality education can help provide a positive view of sexual orientation and gender identity which, in turn, can help raise the self esteem of young people who may

Probably.

The poofters rely on schools as indoctrination centers all over the place.

Let me be blunt after a few:

How did this Phony,Loser,Kenyan,Bastard,Marxist,Drug Addict,Treasonous SOB ETC,ETC, actually do what he very clearly stated: Transformation?

That's rhetorical. Knowing the real answer will make every patriot weep: more than half of this country is metastasizing rot.

>>>That’s rhetorical. Knowing the real answer will make every patriot weep: more than half of this country is metastasizing rot.<<<

100% Agree. And you can tell the rot is getting worse as the Millennial generation supports homo marriage more than any other age group. Also the current rate of marriage/fertility indicates an astoundingly high number of Millennial woman will end their lives childless.

And before you think I’m singling out one generation, every once in awhile I read the most disgusting stories of the baby boomers. Such as STD rates skyrocketing in that demo. Or other disgusting stories such as promiscuous sex occurring in old folk homes.

MAGA is a fantasy. We are witnessing the collapse of the American empire as it once was. To be replaced with a modern reincarnation of Sodom and Gomorrah. It might not be too late to stop it, but when half of our countrymen have no shame and don’t understand they are living their lives in sinful ways, how can they repent? Just look at how girls from teens to 40 years old dress in such a way that they basically show everything. They strut around with their parents, or they are moms pushing their kids around. Scandalous to me, but they have no shame.

When people have no shame, they see no need to correct their behavior. The decadence is only going to worse.

I am shocked, SHOCKED do you hear, that only 20% of the schools are discussing mental illness, such as SSAD (Same Sex Attraction Disorder.)

My grade-school catechism also "covered" such things:

"And must we keep out all unclean thoughts and desires? Ought we to preserve our chastity in speech? Etc."
