Tories are basically just trying to salt the earth before they inevitably lose the election.
Isn’t sex education for children under 9 like “If your uncle touches you in a private area, tell your teacher”? They want to stop that?
what about good touch bad touch.imho sex education doesnt literally means how to do sex
About which country are we talking here?
Just keep children being children.
For sure, 12 is better, or 13… 15 could be late.
Uneducated children are easier to molest. As usual the part of “shoot your local pedophile” is making the world a better place for pedophiles. Almost like it’s all projection 🤔
Does that include not learning about sex organs and how pregnancy works? Because I remember learning that at 6-7, at the same time you learn about the heart, the brain and the human body in general
Moral panic from an outgoing government so they can pull the “think of your children! Labour will harm them” should they oppose it. People will see sex-education and assume they’re teaching sex (particularly gay sex, to kids) or teachers are trying to groom them or something detached from reality.
Sex ed for under-9s is based on teaching consent and recognising signs of abuse or consent violation. For those turning 10-12n it’s about puberty, hygiene, and what changes your body is going to experience.
Schools have to be transparent on what is being covered. Parents have the right to opt-out.
Some nine year olds can get pregnant. Maybe they should know the hows and whys of that before they become mothers or fathers.
Who is teaching sex ed to kids under 9?
Sex education should be taught (in age appropriate layers) at every grade…
Should have hygiene education for pre-teens.
I remember being in like the first grade and being taught that if an adult touches you in your private areas to tell a teacher or counselor even if the molester tells you to stay quiet. Kids that age should at least know that much. And in about the 4th grade they started teaching about things like periods and STDs… I really don’t know any good reason not to teach little girls about periods unless you’re cruel and you want them to start and think they’re dying or something… Thankfully my mom already talked to me about it but it’s something kids should know about.
Sadly kids need to learn this shit earlier than I did
Is sex education for children under nine common in this country, or is it just virtue signaling?

Why don’t you act like an adult and actually listen and participate in the debate instead of sticking your head in the sand.
I guess p dohs will have to wait now until they turn 9. Those individuals who are behind these bills belong in prison and held accountable for all the kids that have been groomed/abused and didn’t know what it was so they couldn’t report it until they got older. The conservatives/religious pushing for anti sex ed which includes talking about dangerous people like p dohs/groomers are evil! P dohs don’t care about age. Kids need to be informed so they can report groomers before other kids are victims too!
