Relationships, Sex and Health Education: A Trojan Horse?
by Lisa Nolland, Christian Today:
Warning: Some of this material could cause offense – but it may be being taught in your child’s school.
Many see the now-mandatory RSHE (Relationships, Sex and Health Education, previously RSE) as a minefield. Ignored by most Christian entities, it is best left to ‘the experts’ – the Sex Education Forum, the Department for Education and NHS, and related sexual health charities.
Though good RSHE exists – and is vital – few programmes do the necessaries and of deep concern is the promotion of high-risk lifestyles.
STI rates continue rising among teens as do decisions to ‘change sex’, especially among girls. And a third of all child sex abusers are other youngsters.
Examples of ‘sex positive’ RSHE content include:
1. Smash[ing] heteronormativity. Advocated by the Educate and Celebrate charity. For CEO Elly Barnes, “The bottom line is to completely smash heteronormativity.” But children themselves have commented, ‘In our school every lesson is somehow linked to diversity … it never stops’.
2. Twerking. In one recent example, a ‘mov[ing] your bum up and down’ [masturbation] demonstration by drag queen Mama G at a Devon library children’s story time on 14 August 2019. And ‘progressive’ primary schools are promoting LGBT drag queen library events.
3. Bestiality. One lesson teaches mostly 11- to 12-year-olds that bestiality is “a sexuality whereby some people are attracted to and have sex with animals”. This was taught as if it was “completely normal”.
