Oh look, a bunch of weirdos wanting to change government policy for the worse and drag us back to the 40’s, quelle surprise.
Legal challenge is by “Public Child Protection Wales” – which sounds like a quango, but is actually *“…a group of individuals consisting of assembly members, child abuse survivors, therapists and concerned parents.”*
Legal action is big money. Wonder who’s actually funding them, because it’s certainly someone other than the pub and the stairlift installation company listed on their website.
Honestly I actually took the time to read through their website and their sex education section to see if I can understand where they’re coming from, as there’s sometimes nuance or key points that are overlooked or drowned out in more soundbitey elements.
And honestly….. nothing what the hell are they complaining about?
Their issues seem to be around telling ages 6-9 about bodily autonomy, “good and bad touching”, about sex in the media and its reflection on real life, and how to manage their feelings. They also seem to have a big problem with teaching kids 5-8 the appropriate names for body parts, which parts are private and which aren’t, recognising that they have bodily autonomy and can say “no” to unwanted touching. Plus there’s a final part that helps parents navigate kids who start touching themselves.
They’ve a whole page highlighting the bits they presumably knocked their tea over reading, but at no point have they explained their specific objection to them and what they’d prefer. Either they’ve absolutely missed an obvious part of their site or they know it wouldn’t make good reading if they did.
The fact that this is even a thing shows just how flawed society has become; it simply shouldn’t fall to teachers to cover things like this. Why is it that so many parents cannot, or will not, cover it themselves? I think that’s the bigger question that needs answering.
They probably don’t want children educated, so they can continue to sexually abuse them and get away with it.
Britain has a lot of hangups around sex and sexuality. That there are still some people who think anything with even a whiff of sex or bodily functions about it is inherently sinful.
My nan is like it. It’s a minor miracle she let my granddad anywhere near her to produce three kids.
No wonder, they really didnt need to include the sheep!
> Public Child Protection Wales, which has won the right to seek a judicial review into the plan, believe mandatory teaching will mean “very young children will be introduced to sensitive and inappropriate topics, such as gender ideology, and that they will be disenfranchised by being denied their time-honoured right to remove their child from sex education”.

What “time honoured right” would that be then?
