Mums angry at plan to show sex education video to primary kids

Written by Super User 18 May 2010

Angry mums have blasted a primary school’s plan to show pupils an explicit sex education video, and warned that it could cause children to experiment sexually. The video, a Channel 4 production called Living and Growing, shows a naked cartoon couple chasing each other around a bed and then having sex, while a voice-over gives a detailed description of the action. Cliff Lane Primary School was planning to show the video to seven-year-old pupils, but outraged mums were left horrified after they saw the graphic DVD during a consultation. Emma O’Brien, whose seven-year-old son attends the school, said: ‘There are some body parts kids don’t need to know yet. They shouldn’t be taught that.’ Bryony Surtees, the acting head teacher, responded to the objections, saying: ‘We wanted to be open and honest about this sensitive issue as we are mindful that some parents have very strong views on this matter’.

Pray: that the schools authorities would respond to the parents' objections. (Ps.34:17)
