Stop Sex Education Being Taught To Under 13s. It's Parents Responsibility
SIMPLY PUT, 4 YEAR OLDS WILL BE TAUGHT SEX/RELATIONSHIPS IN SCHOOLS. ITS PARENTS JOB NOT GOVERNMENT. LET KIDS BE KIDS. WE DON'T HAVE TO LET INTERNET TEACH IT EITHER. WE CAN CONTROL THE NET. BUT GOVERNMENT SHOULDN'T TAKE THE ROLL OF PARENTS. WE SHOULD ABOLISH COMPULSARY SEX-ED OF 4-16 YEAR OLDS.
Parents can restrict internet access therefore the excuse the government makes of blaming wrong sexual messages via internet is no excuse to teach this sensitive topic to innocent minds at such a young age. 4 is outrageous. Parents are the parents, not teachers and I object strongly with ANY sensitive subjects as these being made compulsary.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Sex education is not compulsory for four to 16-year-olds, so we are not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
The Government would like to change sex and relationship education. It is making those changes through the Children and Social Work Bill, which is in Parliament at the moment. If that Bill becomes law, all primary schools in England will be required to teach age-appropriate relationships education, not sex education. Age-appropriate relationships and sex education will not start until secondary school.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
