I suppose but I don’t think that’s a good idea. It’s not like too many parents are going to take time out to lecture their kids about the ol. twig and berry, periods and safe sex.

It's not that simple, the kids get taught about some very diverse ralationships, such as lesbianism and homosexuality. What if the parents religious beliefs go against that? Cause let's face it, it kind of goes against what kids are taught in religious education, where they are taught to accept different types of religions...maybe not christian beliefs, but other religions seem to be force fed.

So where dies that leave a religious mother and father who are strongly Christian. Can they not therefore demand their kids sit out these lessons like the jehova kids did assembly and xmas.

Christian/strongly culturally Christian parents are always going to take their kids out of those lessons when it comes to things like LGBT+ acceptance. That’s a good point.

For balance... Let's not forget all the other religions ithat are MUCH more militant than the Christians. Had to say this because I've seen the Christians take an unfair bashing on here lately when the reality is other religions are far less accepting.

Only primary school children......

Primary schools that choose to teach sex education must allow parents a right to withdraw their children. Unlike sex education in RSE at secondary, in primary schools, headteachers must comply with a parent’s wish to withdraw their child from sex education beyond the national curriculum for science.

Schools will want to draw on the good practice for conversations with parents around the right to withdraw.

Schools must also ensure that their teaching and materials are appropriate having regard to the age and religious backgrounds of their pupils. Schools will also want to recognise the significance of other factors, such as any special educational needs or disabilities of their pupils.

The thing is, Livia, I actually don’t disagree with you about Islam being the most anti-gay religion in the world. The reason I didn’t mention them explicitly is because it kind of almost goes without saying (not that I actively dislike the religion as a whole but in terms of Islamic perceptions of sexuality it’s been a mess from the very start). There’s no doubt about that.
