Teach ‘the pleasure of gay sex’ to children as young as five, say researchers

Children as young as five should be taught to understand the pleasures of gay sex, according to leaders of a taxpayer-funded education project.

Heads of the project have set themselves a goal of ‘creating primary classrooms where queer sexualities are affirmed and celebrated’.

The ambition was revealed in documents prepared for the No Outsiders project run by researchers from universities and backed with £600,000 of public money provided by the Economic and Social Research Council.

The stated purpose of the project - which is operating in 14 primary schools - is to stop bullying and prejudice aimed at homosexuals.

However, at a seminar at Exeter University tomorrow, supporters of the group will go beyond the anti-bullying agenda and discuss ‘pleasure and desire in educational contexts’.

A document prepared for the seminar and couched in convoluted academic jargon says: ‘The team is concerned to interrogate the desexualisation of children’s bodies, the negation of pleasure and desire in educational contexts, and the tendency to shy away from discussion of (sexual) bodily activity in No Outsiders project work.

Um, NO!! A child of 5 shouldn't really be TAUGHT anything about sex of any kind. Mine can ask and I will advise as is appropriate to the questions, but nobody should be teaching anything about anything in particular at that age.

ok I can understand promoting tolerance and try and teach ways to stop bullying. However... children shouldn't be taught the "joys of ANY sex, gay or straight" They're lucky they're not pulling that crap at my daughter's school.

I think any child that goes to school should be taught about sex. Let's face reality, kids are talking about it at school at that age, to a small extent anyway. So why not teach it, at appropriate levels? Another reality, unfortunately, is that most parents DON'T talk to their kids about sex, and if they do, many of them wait until it's way too late.

I'm sorry but I'm not gonna sit my 5 year old down and talk about the joys of gay sex. Not happening. Not talking about the joys of any sex... kid is barley older than a toddler.

and we wonder why we have 12 year old mothers running around.

No arguements here, when that hit my email, I almost spit my soda all over my monitor.

Someone is a blooming idiot.

Sex ed is important, agreed.

Sex ed should be about the BASICS of the FACTS of sex. Agreed.

Sex ed should be taught to children beginning puberty. Agreed.

Sex ed should NOT include any kinds of pleasure talk at all. Agreed.

My 11 and 10 year old daughters know about it. I told them to head off anything their friends may tell them -- you never know what age they will start talking about it after all -- but they know what I think they should, IE the very basics of what it is, and how to be safe.

Schools can teach the scientific and biological aspects of sex. They are, after all, supposed to teach science. But that is all. Anything beyond, including physical, mental, spiritual, or emotional aspects, should WHOLEHEARTEDLY be left up to the parents.

Agreed.

Ahhh the keyword is "should".

The schools are nothing more than a social safety net. That's it.

Why must people insist upon trying to fuse together socialistic and capitalistic mentalities? It's insane.

If there's a problem with the way the school is handling your child's safety, pull the little bastard and take care of it yourself.
