Whiskey Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 No. My kids’ sex Ed lessons were all delivered by their class teachers/tutors. I see this claim a lot, but nobody ever names the “religious groups” or the schools. Is it a Manx rumour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should tell us what school you went to. So we can avoid it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Weren't Living Hope advertising in the QE2 some years ago? I seem to remember objections back then. Personally, I'm delighted that this has come up. Let the parents, and whatever cult they adhere to do the religious stuff, keep it out of schools. What if an Atheist group approached the schools, to argue that there probably is no god and disbelief is also reasonable, they'd probably wouldn't even broach a reply. This isn't just about sex education. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 What’s this obsession with not naming the groups or schools? It’s like Vague News around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake me up Judy Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Have never thought sex education in schools was a good idea. It's a parents decision whether to talk to their children about it. Reproduction can be adequately covered in biology lessons. All sex education does is to sexualise children and normalise sexual behaviour before children have the maturity to deal with it. I've also heard anecdotally that young teenagers are even taught about oral and anal sex in Island schools.
