Information watchdog ‘sidelines’ parental rights over sex ed
from The Christian Institute:
Parents do not have the right to view sex ed material delivered in schools by outside organisations under freedom of information legislation, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has said.
Parents of children at Hatcham College has requested access to lesson slides used by the School of Sexuality Education (SoSE), but the ICO opted to protect the group, stating it would compromise the sex education provider’s “intellectual property”.
If the lessons were made public, schools might be able to use the materials without paying, which would impact SoSE’s finances.
Explicit
Concerned parent Claire Page requested to see the resources being used at Hatcham College after her child was encouraged by SoSE to be “sex-positive” in RSE.
The School of Sexuality Education, a charity formerly known as Sexplain, is known for delivering explicit sex education in schools around the UK, and according to The Telegraph, children as young as twelve years of age are told that ‘heterosexuality as the norm’ is a “harmful” idea.
In a lesson for 16-year-olds, pupils are told to watch the controversial Netflix series Sex Education, despite it being rated as only suitable for adults.
Afterwards the class is asked to write down “a list of words that could relate to sex” and then to “try reading them out loud looking in the mirror (or on a video call with a friend)”.
