More sex education means more teenage pregnancies...always
longer text
Sex education has failed. So the Establishment decrees that we must have more of it, and in fact that there shall be no escape from it.
What I don’t grasp is why the people of this country put up with so many separate insults to their intelligence in any given week.
And why this particular blatantly obvious sequence comes round year by year and nobody even laughs, let alone draws the correct conclusion.
...
In the week that figures clearly showed that the Government’s supposed target for cutting teen pregnancy by half is never going to be reached, compulsory smut education – a key part of this ‘strategy’ – was forced on all English schools by law for the first time.
There will be no opt-outs. The new liberal gospel of 'do what thou wilt – but wear a condom while thou doest it' will be taught by order of the State.
Conservative fearmongering that both flies in the face of available evidence and fails to offer its own.
