Council to encourage school children to think if they are gay or transexual

CHILDREN as young as five will be encouraged to think about whether they’re gay or transgender as part of the Named Person scheme.

A new plan for primary school pupils tells them that it’s “a normal, healthy part of human life [to be] attracted to boys, girls or both”.“It takes time to figure out who we are sexually and to understand our gender identity. The important thing is to be true to how you feel at the time,” it adds.

As part of a 78-page guidebook being distributed in North Ayrshire, teenagers are also told they should expect to become “preoccupied by sex”.

Norman Wells, of the Family Education Trust, said: “It is disturbing that Named Persons and local authority staff will be expected to follow this plan with its warped view of childhood and adolescence.He added: “North Ayrshire Council seems determined to normalise gender confusion among primary school children and to get them to question whether they are attracted to others of either sex.

“And to tell teenagers that they can expect to be preoccupied with sex and that it’s normal to engage in rule-breaking is grossly irresponsible. Such low expectations are likely to turn into self-fulfilling prophecies.”

Every child up to the age of 18 will soon be assigned a Named Person, usually a health visitor or a senior teacher.
