Does Sex Education Lead to the Destruction of Children at British Schools?

She was only nine years old when she came home from school shaking after being taught about rape in details.

The Children's Commissioner, Dame Rachel de Souza, raised concern last week about sex education in schools after hearing about the girl and after receiving warnings from constituents.

She expressed her shock at learning about "horrendous" and age-inappropriate sex education lessons at schools and decided to review all the materials.

Sitting in the Committee, Tory MP Miriam Cates said constituents wrote to her about their concerns over "a nine-year-old coming home, shaking, white as a sheet, because they've been taught in detail about rape."

When she compared sex education materials to the quadratic equations presented to four-year-olds, Cates said young pupils should not be exposed to complicated conversations about sex before they are ready.

 

'Horrendous' Sex Education Lessons

The children's commissioner said last week she was shocked to discover the "horrendous" examples of sex education materials used in schools to "teach" pupils about sex before they are ready to hear about that.

British educationalist, and former headteacher Dame Rachel de Souza, told the Commons Education Committee that "she would be looking into the teaching of relationships and sex education (RSE)," The Times reported.

The remarks came after the Tory MP Miriam Cates, who belongs to the committee, claimed that several constituents had written to her about their concerns saying that a nine-year-old taught "in detail" about rape.

The little girl had previously detailed examples of children "shown dice with body parts written on them, to prompt them to suggest different sex positions, and children taught about rough sex, spanking and choking," according to the same source.

De Souza said that "thoughtful and age-appropriate" lessons were "absolutely critical;" she had specially looked at this because it concerned children.

The former biology teacher was wondering whether some Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) in schools was "damaging" children, saying: "One of the things that really concerns me is the introduction of adult ideas - about sex but other things as well - too early to children when they are not developmentally able to process it."

 

From Education to Destruction

Ms. Cates raised examples during a Westminster Hall debate last week, saying that the new framework of the government had "opened the floodgates" to "deeply inappropriate, wildly inaccurate, sexually explicit and damaging materials in the name of sex education."

The examples given by the MP showed that the pupils at schools were asked to name the body parts and suggest different sexual positions.

According to what she said, one parent in her constituency was shocked after her six-year-old girl was taught about masturbation in school.

Materials from the Sex Education Forum are dividing children into groups of "menstruators and non-menstruators, which would confuse teenage girls," she said.

Some RSE lessons were actively leading to the sexualization of children before the right moment.

"The introduction of graphic or extreme sexual material in sex education lessons also reinforces the porn culture that is damaging our children in such a devastating way," she said.

In response to Ms. Cates's analysis, Dame Rachel said it is necessary for children to know the reality of the world and how to keep themselves safe and consent. Still, she declared that age-appropriate materials are "absolutely critical."

She promised to examine how RSE is taught in schools after Ms. Cates' horrendous examples.

Dame Rachel said headteachers and trust leaders had spoken of their worries about providing quality lessons on the subject, which resulted in outsourcing teaching to external providers. "We need to look at that," she said.

 

A Generation of Mental Disorder

After condemning "extreme" materials being delivered in schools to pupils, Dame Rachel told Ms. Cates: "I was shocked by your examples, and I am going to look at it."

In the name of sex education, children in the UK are being exposed to a plethora of profoundly inappropriate and damaging materials.

Despite the objection of many civil society organizations and activists to the inclusion of sex education in primary schools, it was eventually approved.

Today, after nearly two years, British families and specialized officials are condemning teaching sex materials to pupils because of the inappropriate content, considering it a danger to the minds and psyche of children.

Opponents said these materials are actively contributing to spreading pornography in society and called to re-evaluate the contents in order to protect this sensitive age group.

The Liberal Democratic Party was among the first to call for sex education to be taught to children in British schools aiming to prepare them for future relationships.

It was supported by many political currents and officials contrary to the Conservative Party at the time, which raises fears again of what this law could inflict on children's minds and mental health.

At the time, Liberal Education Minister David Lowes stressed the need for children to acquire basic life skills in schools and to educate them about sexual relations at schools.

Other officials considered that protecting children from sexual violence and exploitation stems starts from teaching them sexual relations principles.

The political parties demanding this took advantage of the media excitement of the many scandals of child sexual exploitation that shook Britain, the most famous of which was the authorities' neglect of the sexual exploitation of children for 16 years by an Asian gang for fear of calling them racist, to push for the legislative enactment of the law, until it was officially adopted in September 2020.

This step raised concern among many British families, especially conservatives and Muslims, who fear that their children will fall into ideological or behavioral deviations.

While this law was promoted as protecting the child from violence and exploitation and raising awareness to make better choices, officials are now aware of the danger that these contents pose to this sensitive age group and then to society as a whole.
