Under Bilderberger Balls the legal ownership of children is gradually being passed from parents to state

Parents to lose rights over sex education
By Alison Kershaw, Press Association

Thursday, 5 November 2009
Parents are to lose the right to withdraw their child from sex education classes when the youngster reaches 15, the Schools Secretary announced today.
The move means all teenagers will receive at least one year's worth of lessons covering sex, contraception and relationships before the age of consent.
Faith schools will not be able to opt out of any part of the new statutory curriculum, Ed Balls also confirmed today, although they will be able to teach topics within the "tenets of their faith".
So-called Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education is to become compulsory in both primary and secondary schools from September 2011, and will be enshrined in new legislation.
Under current rules parents have the right to withdraw their child from sex education classes up until the age of 19.
Mr Balls said that only a "very small minority" of parents choose to exercise this right, and over the past few months issues have been raised about the age at which parents should still be able to exercise it.
"What's happened over the past few decades is that the English courts have been saying it is important to strike a balance of the capacity of the young person to make their own decisions and the rights of the parents," he said.
This has informed the health service's approach to contraception and approaches to education, Mr Balls added.
He said that it "doesn't make sense" in new legislation to retain parents' right to withdraw their child up until the age of 19, given that teenagers can vote at 18, and the age of consent is 16.
A survey commissioned by the Government to gauge the opinion of parents reveals that four in ten agree that children should attend sex education lessons, although almost a third (30%) said parents should always have the option to withdraw their child, no matter how old the youngster is.
Under the new curriculum, pupils as young as seven will learn about puberty and the facts of life and five-year-olds will be taught about parts of the body, relationships and the effects of drugs on the body.
Once they reach secondary school, pupils will learn about contraception, HIV and Aids, pregnancy and different kinds of relationships - including same sex unions and civil partnerships.
But schools will be allowed to teach the subject "in line with the context, values and ethos of the school".
It means that children at some faith schools could be taught that their religion frowns on the use of contraceptives at the same time as learning about condoms.
Giving an example, Mr Balls said: "It is open to faith schools to teach what they believe, according to the tenets of their faith, that pupils should not have sexual relationships outside of marriage."
But faith schools will not be allowed to refuse to teach about contraception on the grounds that they don't believe in sex before marriage, he said.
"You can teach the promotion of marriage, you can teach that you shouldn't have sex outside of marriage, what you can't do is deny young people information about contraception outside of marriage."
Mr Balls said there was no indication that more parents of children at faith schools would choose to withdraw their child once the new curriculum comes into force.
He said that just because parents want children to be taught according to their faith, "it doesn't mean they don't want them to be taught something that's important".

Timely post. Just reading the bumph brought home by my 15 year old daughter from school.

School nurses have the power to administer Morning after pill, as well as contraceptives without having to tell parents. I think this has been the case for a while but now i have it in black and white.
It was also common knowledge amongst some teachers that our son was involved with drugs but the school never told us.

Just composing my letter to the school so that silence cannot be construed as acceptance.

I remember many a fumbling going on under many a desk during sex-ed lessons at my school.

Does that mean they were working? Laughing

Now you can fumble above the desk in Spain as part of the curriculum. New slant on Tossa de Mar

Spanish region takes hands-on approach to sex education Officials launch campaign to teach young people about 'sexual self-exploration and discovery of self-pleasure'


Giles Tremlett in Madrid guardian.co.uk, Thursday 12 November 2009

It is a subject that would make most governments blush, but officials in the Spanish region of Extremadura have launched a major programme to encourage what could be described as a more hands-on approach to sexuality.

The region's socialist government has launched a €14,000 (£12,600) campaign aimed at teaching young people how best to set about "sexual self-exploration and the discovery of self-pleasure" – or to put it less delicately: masturbation.

"Pleasure is in your own hands" is the slogan of a campaign that has sparked political controversy and challenges traditional Roman Catholic views on people having sex, even on their own, for non-reproductive reasons.

"This is an intimate subject that should be dealt with at home," complained local opposition leader Hernández Carrón of the rightwing People's party. "We have become the laughing stock of Spain."

"They are interfering with the right of parents to educate their own children about a matter as important as their sexuality," agreed the conservative Confederation of Fathers and Mothers of Schoolchildren.

Officials from the neighbouring region of Andalucia have expressed an interest in copying the programme.

The campaign includes leaflets, flyers, a "fanzine" and workshops for the young in which they receive instruction on self-pleasuring techniques along with advice on contraception and self-respect.

Extremadura's government is funding the campaign through its youth and women's affairs departments.

"The campaign is simple, clear, natural and easily understood by the people it is aimed at, who are aged between 14 and 17," said Laura Garrido, president of the Youth Council of Extremadura.

Commentators questioned why the poorest region in Spain was paying for a campaign to promote onanism.

"Extremadura should be pleased with itself," sniped Pilar Rahola, a columnist in the Barcelona-based La Vanguardia newspaper. "It may have the most unemployed young people in Spain, but they will be the best at masturbation."

Wow. That seems pretty pointless. Teaching teenagers how to w*nk. It's been going on for thousands of years without these lessons. So has sex.

I dunno.

What will they think of next.

I'm just glad my school sat us down boy-girl-boy-girl etc in our sex-ed lessons.

Happy fumblings.
