This logic is all fun and games until you find out the hard way a lot of sex ed isn't religion-based, but "Mommy and Daddy don't want to think of their child as a sexual being because that might mean they're growing up, and thus Mommy and Daddy are OLD!"

It's all fun and games until we see parents demand their senior year of university student only hear about how babies are formed if a married mommy and daddy love each other very much, then they'll hold hands and wait for the stork to arrive.

Sex Ed is mandatory in English schools, parents no longer have the right to remove their children from the lessons (for the reasons you state).

The new guidance is just to ensure that what is taught is both age appropriate and not controversial. So six year olds will be learning about the difference between friends, family and strangers and about Pantosaurus, 10-11 year olds learning about reproduction and puberty etc.

I mostly teach 8-9 year olds, so that’s mostly safeguarding, who to talk to if you’re feeling unsafe and the differences between family. Fairly tame stuff that doesn’t involve biology or genitals or declaring one’s pronouns.

This is come about because some schools apparently brought in outside companies and organisations to teach their sex Ed and went full 72 genders and six year olds need to know about rimming and were refusing to show parents what they were teaching their kids as they were “commercially sensitive”. Groomers wheedled their way in, essentially.

Okay then, that is the way it should be.
