Media Education Headlines: Sex and drug lessons from age 5 & Sex education opt out is reduced
With headlines like these regarding the education of our children, is it any wonder that some would opt for home-schooling? There is no area off bounds any longer for our governments tentacles, no area sacred to the family and parents.
The government wants to become the ideological and moral parent to our children and socialise them as early as possible, to fill their heads with their agenda, world-view and moral relativism.
The problem? The government and teachers can’t be trusted morally or ethically, that’s the problem, as aply demonstrated every single day in news reports. Do you trust your child with the government?

Here is an extract from another Telegraph piece:-

Faith schools will also be forced to teach all aspects of the new-style curriculum, including same-sex relationships, contraception and abortion, although ministers insisted they could stage lessons within the “tenets of their faith”.
Ed Balls, the Schools Secretary, said: “You can teach the promotion of marriage, you can teach that you shouldn’t have sex outside of marriage, what you can’t do is deny young people information about contraception outside of marriage.
“The same arises in homosexuality. Some faiths have a view about what in religious terms is right and wrong – what they can’t do though is not teach the importance of tolerance.”
