The Telegraph and Daily Mail report today that primary schools are being forced to teach sex education by local authorities. The story originates from a survey the Family Education Trust [FET] conducted of local authorities. The Trust describes itself as a “national educational trust which researches the causes and consequences of family breakdown” and claims to have no political or religious affiliations.

It asked whether primary schools with a policy not to teach sex and relationship education could still achieve “healthy schools status”, a Labour scheme which is no longer centrally funded but allows schools to bear a logo to demonstrate their credentials as a health-promoting school. But are primaries really being forced to teach five year olds about sex?

  1. This is one of many reasons that this Nation is under judgement. California is a State where the courts over ride public opinion.

  2. Many are awakening now and realize that they must act if their way of life is to be preserved. Everyone knows that actions speak louder than words. It is now time for action! Unlike talking, more action is needed! If you are willing to take action read on?

    The technology now exists that will allow the constituents of each elected official to become that elected official’s ultimate check and balance. How? By giving the constituents the power to participate directly in the governing process alongside their representatives. A literal “People’s Branch” of government. Implementing a “People’s Branch” at each level of government, local, state, national, is a reasonable, non-violent, way to make government more transparent, less corrupt, more accountable, less wasteful, more fair and equitable.

    Why is it that even though everyone is for better government a political movement that would ultimately improve government at all levels by neutralizing special interest’s control is yet to be implemented? “The People’s Branch” is a realistic way to regain control of government.

    There has never been a greater need for the political solution(s) provided by The People’s Branch. But no one is saying it is going to be easy. Yet, neither was the Civil Rights movement or the Women’s Suffrage movement, etc., etc. Politicians fear this political movement because they know that if it succeeds then their power and control will come to an end and the people’s influence upon government will truly begin.

    Talk is always going to be cheep. However, if you want improvement in government then you should be willing to take action and get involved in the only political solution that has a chance to truly reform the evils of government in a sustainable way! You, your family and future generations will appreciate the positive changes.

  3. It’s hypocritical to name an arbitrary age of conscience, say there is no culpability until that age, and empower children with life-altering choices before that age has been met.
