Sex Education for Primary school....

Thank you for that. Some evidence, at least, from one school. Matlock seems to expect her proclamations to be taken as evidence.
I believe the introduction of the sex education program for primary schools has been postponed due to push back due to what many consider age inappropriate content.
I have no objection to age appropriate sex education but I believe this gender ideology pushed by these NGOs is not something to be affirmed to kids at an age when they are trying to discover who they are and how they will deal with the world
So how old were you when you first learned the facts about sex and how old were you when you found out that all the facts you had gotten from your mates were wrong?

I honestly can't remember how I found out about sex.It wasn't a big deal among my mates.Of course there was no access to pornography but I had great times wanking imagining myself with the local housewives. I know I knew what I needed to know when I had my first sexual encounter at 16

Feel free to opt out.

I agree with Matlock here. Sure what could possibly go wrong for your child if you pull them out of a class where kids are told there are hundreds of genders and a man can flip their gender and be come a woman if they please and anyone who disagrees is a horrible transphobe and bigot.

Don't rail against the BS they are being thought, treat that as perfectly normal and pull your kid and let them be ostracised.

I stated here before that about 2 per class in first / second year are confused by this huge trans push. I'd say that is bordering on 3 per class now with girls. A lot less with boys thankfully, many seem to be railing against this BS. Pull a boy out of SPHE and he will probably be clapped on the back by many of his peers. Very different for girls unfortunately.

I would question where we have reached at times as the direction almost everything has taken is that we treat absolutely everything the same no matter the scale of the issue - so acceptance is the first requirement and we'll see where we are after that. One side of this is seeing my kids with almost no innate discrimination, they genuinely dont care if their friends are white. black or blue, they dont care if they are white generations old irish, indian immigrants etc., they dont care if friends of ours are straight, gay, married, separated, single families etc etc. One of their child minders was lesbian, they met her partner regularly.. no bother, why would there be? The flip side of that is speaking with younger cousins in Canada where they are a decade further down the road in this regard, and it seems to have reached a point there where it is almost odd not to have found some thing to identify with. A cousin was telling me recently that it was mandatory in her school to meet the physiologist to discuss your sexual preference - I can completely understand how a person struggling with coming out might find this avenue the first opportunity to be open/honest about themselves, but the majority will spend that session wondering why they are there at all yet everyone must attend.

I've had 2 conversations recently that highlighted where we are in my mind - I person was telling me that their 14/15 year old daughters best friend decides on the day which gender they will identify as, and in reality everyone is managing fine with it all as the changes from day to day were actually relatively subtle, but on the other hand there is a girl in the class that is insisting that she identifies as a fox, and they are all having to put up with this nonsense which is causing issues.
In the other instance a parent of 3 adolescents was astounded that one of my kids mentioned something about somebody being trans, she felt they were very young to be exposed to that kind of thing and was genuinely fascinated that we hadn't shut the discussion down, even though it was very light as they wouldn't have the capability for anything deeper yet. She was still working off the base point that if you expose your kids to that kind of thing you are encouraging them to drift towards it.

Teaching kids acceptance is fundamental for society, I dont see a great deal of evidence that we have drifted beyond this and into the ares you are suggesting yet.

That's not what's taught anywhere.

Ah the old " no one will be trans if we don't tell them that it's a thing" line of logic.

That worked so well with gay people didn't it. There were, famously, no gay people in Ireland until 1993 🙄
 

Children will be taught about sex and relationships at an earlier age in school under plans for a major overhaul of the primary-level curriculum.

The public is being asked for opinions on the first major revamp of the primary school curriculum in 25 years.

The changes include teaching children about sex, consent and relationships at an earlier stage and spending less class time on religion.

The NCCA has said it is important to introduce sex education earlier because children are starting school at an older age and some are experiencing puberty earlier.

Public consultation from today



You'd really have to wonder why they are so keen to be pushing this on kids.
Have to agree,
Different attitude up north thank God
I've a lash of grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren up there
Those in primary schools are protected from this rubbish
