last night, Dale hit out at the new strategy which would prevent all children under nine from having any sex education, and stop all students from being taught about trans issues.He continued: “In an ideal world, our parents would be able to answer those questions. But we don’t live in an ideal world.
“There are many parents who just will not go into this area whether it’s gender identity of just sex education, so therefore it’s left to the teachers.“What I don’t want to see is a repeat of what happened in 1988 when Section 28 was brought in and teachers weren’t even allowed to mention the word homosexuality.
“We don’t want that to be here – if young people have got questions about gender identity, they have personal issues, they should be able to approach people for whatever.”pointed out: “So the government aren’t suggesting that it wouldn’t happen, but they’re saying it wouldn’t be taught.”He said that governments are always “years behind developments”, and pointed to the rapid advancement in the field of pornography as an example, saying children are exposed to it now.
He said: “Therefore, if you try to sweep this under the carpet and say nine-year-olds actually shouldn’t be taught that this is wrong in school, I think that’s a problem.”Dale continued: “I don’t want young people today to experience what I did in school where you have the head of needlework and head of geography doing the sex education.He said the solution was to have “professionals teach sex education”, going from school to school, and “doing it properly”.
“Have professionals teach sex education, not in every school, you have a band of sex educators going school to school”BBC Question Time Crowd Delivers Brutal, Silent Verdict On Ex-Tory MP's Defection To LabourSign up and we will email you daily with the best of our political and news coverage while also giving you a taste of our most-popular lifestyle, opinion and personal blogs.
