Columnist highlights failings of 'sex education' agenda
Last week’s revelation that schools are being told that ‘sex at 13’ is normal, has prompted newspaper columnist and author Peter Hitchens to highlight the failings of the ‘sex education’ agenda.
“If you try to question sex education, you are screamed at by fanatics. This is because it isn’t, and never has been, what it claims to be. Sex education is propaganda for the permissive society” he writes, going on to say, “It works by breaking taboos and by portraying actions as normal that would once have been seen as wrong.”
He begins his Mail on Sunday column by saying, “The mystery of sex education is that parents put up with it at all. It began about 50 years ago, on the pretext that it would reduce unmarried teen pregnancies and sexual diseases. Every time these problems got worse, the answer was more sex education, more explicit than before.”
