Stop sex education for young children
Young children should not be exposed to any sexual information. Children have a right to be children.
Children are being robbed of their childhood. Introducing sex education in young children will expose them to things they shouldn't have at that age. Children as young as 4 are going to taught .
Depriving children the chance to be children, sexualising them .
Sexual education should be taught a secondary school level.
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.
