What the petition asks
Stop teaching P3 and younger about the terminology lesbian, gay and bisexual. Stop showing videos like heartbeat of boys falling in love, these are children and should be allowed to remain kids as long as possible.
Stop teaching P4's in depth how babies are made, cared for and how to have sex.
Stop teaching P4's in depth how babies are made, cared for and how to have sex.
Children should be children. Learning the indepth terminologies for gay, lesbian, bisexual is unnecessary and confusing. Kids are focused on playing, making friends, sports, gaming not dating or falling in love in primary school.
Why does any 8 year old need to know how babies are made, cared for or how to have sex? This is something P7 and above should know, stop trying to strip our children of innocence and make them curious about adult behaviour, its barbaric and enraging for parents.
