why do the liberal elite want to remove all innocence from our kids as early as possible?

It is probably the first time that the Conservative's running Leicestershire County Council have been called the liberal elite.

The trendy Guardianistas currently running the country recommend sex education to start at 11 years old.

Maybe this corruption of infants is what we can expect when the Conservatives are running the country.

Educational professionals have been advocating more and more sex education for years now, all they do is reinforce failure, they're teaching children how to have sex better and "the outer course" but not how to say no get ya bl00dy hands off me!
The evidence of acknowledgement of their own failure is that sex education has now quietly been rebranded "sex and relationship education", I've dated teachers they always seemed to have borderline alcohol problems and the most chaotic histories one could imagine.
The heart wants what it wants, try teaching them to wait and that it's quite natural not to want to have sex at that age, isn't that worth a try?

This is hillarious - even if it is 4 months old and referring to the boy who turned out not to be the father anyway

Linda Jagger, headteacher of Caldecote Primary School, in Braunstone, Leicester, said after hearing the story about Alfie she wanted to prevent it happening to children in her school.

She told the Daily Mail: "Most people who heard about the 13-year-old dad had some serious qualms about children's understanding of sex-education and how it's being taught.


So SKY news is reduced to reporting on what it's read in the Daily Mail?

Not a lot of detail here - the sort of sex education appropriate for kids differs by age.

A lot of 5 year olds will have younger brothers and sisters being born and will be asking questions.

What would you tell them? - this is sex education.

I suggest you find some specific parts of the sex education plans to object to.

5 year old children should NOT be taught any form of sex education, or whatever it is called this week.

5 years old should be having a carefree fun time.

10, fine - but 5, no way. I would be furious if I found out my 5 year old daughter was being taught such things. At this age education should be about learning through play (although I am a little cynical about this) and the basics of reading, writing and maths.

Plus, let's face it, no amount of sex education is going to stop the chavs shagging each other and producing oiffspring that they expect the rest of us to pay for

Please-what is a ''Liberal Elite'' ? Free Market? Left Wing? Right wing ? Something else ?

This is old news. Patten was confirmed not to be the father.

As for sex edu for 5 year olds, I don't think they should do it simply because the understanding isn't there at that age.
