This national child grooming programme must be fought
by Will Jones, The Conservative Woman:
SEX education in primary schools is tantamount to grooming, in effect if not intention. That’s what MPs were baldly told by a head teacher last week. He explained it was doing this by lowering young children’s natural inhibitions.
This moment of truth took place at a Parliamentary briefing organised by the Lords and Commons Family and Child Protection Group when head teacher Ed Matyjaszek (Mat-ee-ay-chek) from the Isle of Wight said: ‘We are in danger of instituting via RSE a national grooming programme in primary schools. Obviously the predator’s aim is abuse, but the [sex education teaching] process with the child is the same, whether that is the aim or not.’
The Rev Lynda Rose, founder of Parent Power and Voice for Justice UK and co-convener of the group, pointed to worrying official statistics showing that the UK continues to have the highest rates of both teenage pregnancy and teenage abortion in Western Europe, and to what doctors have called an ‘epidemic’ of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) amongst young people in the UK.
These include herpes, chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhoea and HIV, Mrs Rose said.
‘According to a recent report issued by the Terrence Higgins Trust and the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH), in 2018 there were nearly half a million STI diagnoses in the UK, while in the last decade cases of gonorrhoea rose by 249 per cent, and rates of syphilis by 165 per cent. And most of these new infections – what are called a disproportionate number – were, they said, amongst young people and gay and bisexual men.’ (My italics)
