Parliament vote AGAINST sex education being compulsory in all schools!

I believe that it is up to the parents to decide when to tell their children themselves.

Children should be efficiently educated about sex and relationships from a young age. Teens are going to have sex, and they're going to experiment. The media (and often porn) isn't exactly the best source of information, and when considering LGBT+ kids, there's limited information that you have to look for specifically.
All teenagers should be informed of different kinds of STI protection (condoms and dams), birth control (and its other uses and side-effects), what freely-given, informed consent looks like, where to go for help, what's involved in an STI test, etc. Children should be informed about consent, how to get help if someone's hurting them, how their bodies change as they get older, etc., etc. A generation of better informed individuals can only be a good thing.

It's important to respect the freedom of religion, faith schools shouldn't be forced to teach subject matter that is potentially inflammatory in their belief system.

Another example is Darwin's theory of evolution, that shouldn't be compulsory to teach in faith schools either.

Now, obviously I realise the importance of sex Ed as much as the next man, but we can't make it compulsory and impinge on freedom of religion, which is a human right, if we start doing that it's a slippery slope, which human rights are absolute and which ones aren't?

Define 'rubbish' - words like that mean different things to different people.

"I may disagree with what you say but I defend to the death your right to say it."

If people disagree with being taught that way, don't go to a bloody faith school!

I think yes as it's important for young people to know the consequences of their actions.

BUT.... it's becoming more pointless as modern society is producing more and more chavs who probs know that if you screw a woman without contraception she becomes pregnant. But instead of applying what they know to not ruin other's lives they prefer to be ignorant. And the proportion of smart people to these idiots is favouring the idiots more and more.

just my opinion though, in objection to my point there, the smart people need to know their consequences, hence why i voted yes

Good. There is no need for sex education at schools. If young children are forced to learn about sex, then it is more likely that they will start having sex earlier.

Is this an actual troll account or are you just a dumb f*ck?

Well 10 people agree with me, so it can't be such a dumb idea.

they still have access to internet with all sort of fetishes and porn.

Then we quite simply censor it. Pornography should be illegal, anyway.

Young people always had sex, even before magazines or videos were introduced.
You can't make sex a taboo and if you don't educate children, they will only find it more desirable (you want what you can't have etc).

This, we will also increase cases of teen pregnancies, which will result in more pressure on the state as a result, if we do not ensure effective sexual education.
