Ed Balls has tabled an amendment to his own bill to permit state-funded faith schools to teach Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) according to the tenets of the religion of the school, and to permit parents to withdraw their children from SRE altogether
My goodness there is plenty of vitriolic criticism against Ed Balls for this move.
The real question is why on earth do we need schools to teach our children about sex, should this not be the preserve of the family?
Should “faith institutions” receive state-funding, as this always leads to state control and interference, not to mention resentment and criticism from non-religious groups.
I liked this little snippet from a Christian Institute article earlier:-
….family groups who already think the Government’s sex education plans are a radical snub to parental authority.
How true. The government wish to become the parent (or should I say “big brother”) of our children in all respects, in order to “mind-mould” them to their own peculiar worldview. Perhaps they deem most parents too dysfunctional to be able to teach their own children on sexuality, morality, ethics and relationships.
My advice…..home educate!
