Sex lessons planned for all children - Five-year-olds to get lessons on emotional life
The Observer UK ^ | December 4, 2005 | Denis Campbell

Posted on 12/03/2005 5:46:01 PM PST by Pushkin

Compulsory sex lessons for primary school children as young as five are to be backed by the government's official advisers on sexual behaviour in an unpublished report obtained by The Observer. If accepted, the proposals would be the biggest shake-up in sex education in schools in England and Wales.

The document says the current system for sex lessons, which are mostly optional, is unfair, confused, damaging to pupils' health and development and partly responsible for Britain having the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in western Europe. At present all pupils get basic biological information, but those at some schools are also given details about subjects such as contraception and sexually transmitted infections.

A joint report from the Government's independent advisors on sexual health and teenage pregnancy recommends that detailed knowledge about sex should become a routine part of all pupils' education and points out that adopting such an approach makes young people better able to handle sexual issues. The 42 advisors include senior doctors, experts in sexual behaviour, specialists in bringing up children, nurses, and leading academics in the field.

They want ministers to make Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) a statutory subject in all primary and secondary schools in England and Wales. Certain schools provide PSHE to help prepare their students to understand the adult world of sex, alcohol, drugs and bullying.

This is insane. I found sex ed a complete joke in school. Guys dig girls. Girls dig guys. I figure'd it out pretty quick. But then our Sex ed teacher got knocked up and had to leave in my school.

Sounds like something right out of the Communist Manifesto, or 1984.

And to think that it's these same clowns who complain the loudest about Catholic priests.

The Libs like 'em young. I do think that it's pretty sick about all the "teachers" that are having sex with their kids. It must be a union thing.

Actually they have very strict laws. The police give this their top priority, and don't hesitate to use what would be illegal entrapment in the US.

Teaching 5 year olds about sex is called pedophilia .

This is disgusting.

1?K����1?0�a quality. . .will be obsolete; if the Liberal fascism continues to rule the minds of the children.

These teacher/creatures of the Left must be stopped. . .and some sanity restored.

Too late smart; is not a viable alternative. . .
