Children, in UK, as young as seven years of age should be taught about sex! 7 year olds to be 'taught about sex.
"We want to give young people the facts so that they can stay safe and healthy. We also want young people to understand the importance of marriage and other stable relationships - these are the bedrock of family life, the best way to bring up children and the kind of relationships we want young people to develop as they get older," he said.
But Norman Wells, from the Family Education Trust, said the new guidelines will deprive children of their moral scope.
"This draft guidance will confirm the fears of many parents that compulsory sex education will be used to indoctrinate their children into thinking that there are no moral absolutes when it comes to sexual expression," he said.
"In the name of non-judgmentalism, the Government's approach is abandoning young people to the shifting sands of relativism and depriving them of the moral compass they so desperately need.
"Contrary to the Government's claims, introducing sex education at an early age runs the risk of breaking down children's natural sense of reserve.
"Far from being a hindrance, children's natural inhibitions and sense of modesty in talking about sexual matters are healthy and provide a necessary safeguard against both sexual abuse and casual attitudes towards sexual intimacy later on," he stated.
