Ex-Cabinet minister: ‘Parents know best’ for kids on sex education
from Coalition for Marriage:
Esther McVey MP has said what parents around the country know: they’re ideally placed to decide what relationships teaching their young children receive at school.
McVey, who twice voted against same-sex marriage in 2013, told Sky News: “I believe parents know best for their children”.
And despite the ensuing criticism, McVey refused to tread the well-worn path of sidelining parents.
While expressing support for LGBT issues being taught in school, she maintained, “the people who should know whether it is age-relevant are the parents not the state”.
We agree: Parents know best.
