Sex Education Reforms: What Are the Reforms? Should The State Teach Sex Education & Gender Identity?

Overshadowed by Covid-19 and BLM, another issue has been causing great concern in many quarters for some time: sex education. As of Sept 2020, sex education is now compulsory in our state schools [while parents can withdraw their children, in practice this is meaningless as most parents are unaware they have such a right and, indeed, unaware of what is being taught]. From trans rights to Muslim parents picketing a school in Birmingham, sex ed is dividing opinion and causing great controversy. But why? That is the subject of this week's episode of #NCFCounterCulture. The panel: * Belinda Brown, Campaigner and Journalist * Susan Mason, Founder of the School Gate campaign * Caroline Ffiske, former Conservative Councillor & Journalist * The Rev'd Linda Rose, CEO of Voice for Justice UK * Benjamin Loughnane, Theologian and Communications Consultant Members of the panel have recommended the following sources for further information on the issues raised in this discussion: Susan Mason's School Gate campaign organisation: https://schoolgatecampaign.org/ Respect Yourself: https://archive.is/nJBxV This website was taken down in 2019 following campaigning.
