Apparently, under new plans laid out by Ed Balls, children in schools will now be learning: about personal finance, alcohol and drugs, healthy lifestyles, and sex and relationships in PSHE – personal, social, health and economic education. Leaving aside the fact that most of these things are taught in schools anyway, shouldn’t we be teaching the 50% [...]

Earlier this week, Ed Balls, the Education Secretary (that isn't what he calls himself but it is essentially what he is) announced that 15 year olds will have to have mandatory sex education. Cue howls of anguish from the likes of the Catholic Church and various Muslim groups who promised to fight the proposals. Now I am no fan of Mr Balls, as a very cursory inspection of this site will...

Ed "Balls" has removed the rights of parents to take their children out of sex education classes after the deligtful little poppets are 15 years old. Now clearly the state says you can fuck your girlfriend when she's 16, so it makes sense that she at least knows where babies come from before her birthday. Normally, the only people who object to sex education are religious lunatics...

... hope we will not be subjected to a sham consultation on a fait accompli.

The Catholic Education Service at the service of whom? Kate from At Home in My Father's House here writes Driving home tonight, I caught some of Radio 4's PM news programme in which changes to sex education in schools in England were announced. The main differences seem to be that sex and relationships education will now become mandatory in schools including 'faith' schools and the parental right to...
