Moghrey Mie Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) I can't see why sex education for Manx children should be any different from sex education for English or Scottish children. We're not that different surely. Edited October 3, 2023 by Moghrey Mie 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The English syllabus ( and the Scots ) is a framework with specifications as to what it should cover, and then huge scope for local variation as to how to deliver. The heat has been on how the local delivery rider is configured. That’s where consultation comes in, including parents. But parents, and right wing neo liberal nutters and cults shouldn’t be allowed a veto, however loud they shout their “truth”. Just like Andrew Fenton shouldn’t be allowed a say in the teaching of geography and geology and plate tectonics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Parents should have a right if the subject is contentious I am so glad my children and grandchildren were not exposed to this sex programme at an early age which causes confusion amongst young people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you say the education programme causes confusion if the child has not experienced said programme? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 If a child is told at home there are two genders and then get told at school there are sixty four I think that would cause confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that there are more biological sex genotypes than XX or XY, and more sexual attraction identities than cis, and, clearly more Genders than man/woman - perhaps your views would be the ones causing confusion? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should schools stop teaching the shape of the world or its history because Fenton's not encumbered by an over-abundance of intellect?

Gladys Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 The only aspect that needs to adapted for the IOM is the structure for delivery. So, perhaps, given our size, it makes sense to have a couple of peripatetic experts who can deliver to each school and coach the teachers in each on delivery, dealing with contentious areas and so on. The content cannot be changed surely? If the scope for variation is used as a means to limit the content to appease those who believe either different sexualities are catching or if they deny them the won't exist, that would be such a retrograde step. Age appropriate, sensitive and open delivery is what it is about. Done correctly, the syllabus should be no more confusing than teaching kids about someone who lives in the sky, knows your every thought and deed and could smite you if you defy him. God being male is an interesting concept in itself, given there is no other God, so no other sex with whom to reproduce, so being male is superfluous and pretty pointless. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 sex education used to be just about the process of reproduction ( biology really ) now it seems its about who wants what up their arse and how far to shove it. 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 The weird thing is the QE2 school was the only school that seemed to have pursued this programme I know St Ninians didn’t so perhaps the heads of other schools used their own discretion. It just shows how much interest the Education Authority shows about what our young people are being taught. The biology\science teacher used to cover this subject, why it was thought necessary to bring in an individual who was not a drag Queen but did drag for entertainment in their spare time to bang on about 60 + genders I cannot fathom. Woke nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumable the Life Education bus was taken out of service to save money. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/wellbeing-axing-and39cause-for-concernand39/ Edited October 3, 2023 by Moghrey Mie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
