Parents LOSE bid to stop ‘extreme ideology’ gender identity and sex education lessons being taught to children as young as three in Welsh schools

Parents opposed to teaching young children about gender identity and sex in primary schools across Wales have lost a legal challenge to stop a new curriculum coming in next week.

Campaigners against the Welsh Government’s new Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) curriculum sought a High Court injunction to prevent the policy being taught to children from the age of seven.
