Lizzie, it would seem that you are suggesting that puberty is routinely starting pre teen and that because of this, junior and primary schools should be preaching a Diversity agenda...
That is insane.
Everyone is different. We are, by definition, diverse.
The narrative needs to be changed from one of division to one of acceptance and inclusion. This does not mean that a primary school age child needs to be taught about transgenderism and the like. They only need to know that everyone is different and that's OK.
Pidgeon holing the minorities only serves to highlight differences and encourages disparity and the earlier this nonsense is taught the more ingrained it will become.
Just because Boufon-Cheriseé chooses to identify as a telephone box every third Friday and happens to work as an intern for the Department of Education, doesn't mean that needs to be a part of the curriculum
Exactly!!!
Life IS diverse and the old teachings that we knew does not work now. As I said, media, internet, social media, and of course everyday television is loading the children with much knowledge about ALL life functions and relationships more than ever before wether people like it or not.
So it is very important to ensure the kids of today are not left confused and finding the answers to some awkward questions from uncontrolled sources. Do you believe that today’s children are as ignorant as we were about the birds and bees? No they are not; life has moved on and those that think keeping the truth about all life, and just restricting conversations about men being men and women being women, end of, is kidding themselves. The kids ARE already finding out all there is to know as we, the post war generation who went for free love and complete liberation, have ALREADY opened the flood gates.
It is no good anyone complaining that children of 5+ are learning things at school that in our day was out of bounds. The cat is out of the bag and now all that can be done is try and RESPONSIBLY teach our children the truth about all life as that is the World they are entering. Conformity of the 1940’s, 1950’s and early 1960’s is past. The reality of everyday living is now out. Everyone needs to know of human conditions, and the young are ALREADY learning that in their playgrounds. So, as I stated, take the mystery, smutty interpretations, and falsehoods out of it and tell the truth of what they are already learning from bad sources.
No matter what the old fogeys on here want to believe and want their grand children to hear, is does not matter. 2021 is here with the new generations accepting that diversity not only exists but is all around their families. Ignorance is not an option now.
As for your last comment DG about phone boxes, I will not even try and comment on that remark.
