Sickening - Sex Ed for 5 Year Olds

This idea was 'trial ballooned' a while ago, and was met with mostly disgust. Here by saying it's only teaching them "No Means No", the govt has got a foot in the door, as it seems people for some reason 'like' this idea. Standard Fabian society MO. There are no children anymore, first it was 'teenagers' (1940s-onwards invention - before that they were still children), then 'pre-teens' (thanks Hischool Musical et al), now we have 'pre-pre-teens' sort of 5-10 years old. Ridiculous. I blame Disney, the mofo. (Actually that's not entirely a joke.)

Primary school pupils as young as FIVE to be taught 'no means no' in sex education lessons on importance of consent

"
Proposals for school children as young as five to be taught about sexual violence have been criticised by parents who fear it will frighten youngsters.

The government proposals, to be outlined today, will form part of a 'no means no' drive to reduce violence against women and girls.

However the decision to teach youngsters about sexual consent has been attacked by parents, who feel the lessons, which could discuss sexual violence, will 'frighten' youngsters.

They have said it should be down to them to teach their children about the topic, and not the job of teachers.

The Parents Outloud campaign group's Margaret Morrissey said the Department of Education needed to be certain it has the support of parents before introducing these plans.

‘The majority of parents say: “We will teach our children, we are capable and we do not want our very young children frightened”,’ she told the Daily Telegraph.
‘Why should we put teachers in the invidious position of having to educate very young children about a topic 80 to 90 per cent will not understand?’

The government believes that youngsters need to understand the need for sexual consent at a 'young age' and are undertaking a review to see at what age teaching should begin.

It is understood that they may begin with teaching primary pupils before further teaching is given to elder pupils to reinforce the message.

A cross-government paper published last November argued violence against women could be combated through teaching pupils about the importance of consent.

The paper, seen by the Telegraph, said children could witness violence from a young age and if they are not taught otherwise they could accept the behaviour as normal.
The document adds that setting out acceptable attitudes to youngsters is something that needs to begin early on in life and reinforced over time.

The action plan is to be announced today by the Home Secretary Theresa May, with the Department of Education still to finalise its details.

Should they be given the go-ahead, the lessons are expected to be given as part of personal, social and economic education classes.

It's just like drug education. I mean, all that does is teach people how to use drugs, and create consensus engineering whereby it looks like 'everyone is doing drugs'. In America they have something called 'suicide education' (PDF). Same goes. All rather transparent. Even as I went through the school system myself, I saw the loss of innocence spread, with kids sort of 5 or 6 calling things 'gay' etc, when frankly 'we', just a few years before, would not have known what that was. There are no children anymore, and it's not an accident.

Our sex education policy is a disaster. So what does the Government do? Extend it to 5-year olds (quote below)

"Other programmes require children to act out sexual behaviour. Such material looks like propaganda for sexual licence; some is so exploitative, it verges on the predatory. Is it surprising that more and more children are acting out sexual behaviour, a common response to sexual abuse? The worst of it is that such materials are not shown to parents who, on the rare occasions when they do stumble across it, are invariably aghast and furious at this abuse of both their children and of their own role."
