As most of you know, I have little time for the EU. Thus, it comes as no surprise to read about this:
http://www.citizengo.org/en/895-estrela-report-back-table-stop-it?sid=MzE2NzMwODYxMzE1MjgwA European Parliament Draft Resolution (to be voted upon on the 26th November) promotes sexual education to 0-4 year old children and abortion as a means of birth control.
I thought I'd check out the veracity of this report. The resolution refers solely to the World Health Organisation Regional Office for Europe and the German Federal Centre for Health Education (BZgA) entitled ‘Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe: A framework for policy makers, educational and health authorities and specialists’ , published in 2010.
I downloaded the WHO PDF:

Education 0-4 years: "enjoyment and pleasure when touching one’s own body,
early childhood masturbation"
Education 6-9 years: "body changes,
menstruation, ejaculation, individual variation in development over time"
Call me old-fashioned if you will, but I would be disgusted if my kids in pre-school were being taught about masturbation or if 6 year-olds were being taught about menstruation and ejaculation.
The early enforced sexualisation of young children is, IMHO, robbing them of their childhood and innocence, as well as potentially causing long-term psychosexual problems.
The bill is presented by Portuguese Socialist Edite Estrela. need I say more?
Thankfully, my children are aged 9 and 12, so I will hopefully be unaffected by this, but my heart goes out to parents of younger ones.
