"Sex ed" for 6-year-olds: Parent slams lessons as ‘shocking’

christian.org.uk Children are being taught about sex when “they’ve only just learnt to write their own names”, a parent at a school in Fife has said. She was responding to Ladybank primary school near Cupar teaching children as young as six about sexual organs. Parents have met with the school about their concerns, but Fife Council is defending the lessons.

Jaw-dropping

The unnamed parent explained: “We all went down to the school after we got the timetables because we couldn’t believe what they want to teach our kids. It’s jaw-dropping.” “Kids are curious and they’re basically telling them how to do grown up stuff at a ridiculously young age”, she added. The move has reportedly been introduced because of high teenage pregnancy rates, but the parent said the problem is not helped by explicit lessons at such a young age.
