When I read about sex education in schools these days I keep thinking of the Monty Python sketch from one of their films The Meaning of Life where John Cleese is teaching a class of children about sex and gives a demonstration with his wife - excruciating!
Good luck Eleanor Frances. That piece illustrates perfectly, just how deeply embedded the insanity is.
I don’t blame you re: the RHS. Let’s hope their foray into madness is short lived. They must understand biology surely.
Interesting by Kathleen Stock. I think 9 is rather young for sex ed. Children can be frightened by things they’re too young to understand. The last term of Primary should be early enough. It’s worked for decades.
Dear readers
Firstly, some great news. Ros Adams has won her claim against the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre 😊
Secondly, if you can, please push around the latest updates.
Thirdly, a heads up for a real Terfy evening.
The latest Mess is at 17.00 GMT.
Then there is a Menno Special ( about Daniel Radcliffe - boooo) at 21.00 GMT.
Dusty
Apologies the Mess is actually Tuesday 21 May at 17.00

You're welcome, TT.
I am hopeful I can back off the RHS - all I'm saying is you don't need to take a position on this - you're about gardening FCS!!
I'm sure you're right re Primary Schools.
