The Welsh government has announced new education plans meaning parents will no longer have the right to opt their children out of lessons about relationships, sexuality or religion.
Welsh Education Minister Kirsty Williams said the move would be tested from next year before becoming a compulsory part of the new curriculum in 2022.
Introducing LGBT themes in place of sex education
Much like the new sex education guidelines that have been introduced in England, which are set to come into force from September this year, the Welsh programme also introduces LGBT themes. The draft guidance outlines themes that are to be taught to five-year-olds, including “values, rights, culture and sexuality”, “understanding gender” and “sexuality and sexual behaviour”. Yet how this is to be set out remains unclear.
Christian Concern’s Policy Researcher, Carys Moseley observes how the new draft guidelines are rooted in the idea that Relationships and Sexuality Education is distinct from biology: “Relationships and Sexuality Education has effectively been divorced from the acceptance that we all have a biological nature created by God. This is because Education Secretary Kirsty Williams has previously complained that sex education was ‘too biological’.”
Carys Moseley has previously commented on how the content of the Welsh RSE curriculum must not sexualise young children.
Ignoring parents’ concerns
The Welsh Government previously consulted on the changes early in 2019, however parents’ concerns appear to have been largely ignored.

No...government has always intended government schooling to create a society of zombies. Just look what they have accomplished here. And most Christians and conservatives still send their children into public schools.

Not a problem for our kids - the schools don’t even know they exist, much less us having to deal with those schools.
Even in the Freak State of MD THEY let my daughter opt out of sex Ed with parental permission.
