I disagree with faith schools on so many levels. Gah. This is slightly depressing.

The general "thrust of sex education"? Did she mean that as a pun? I like to think she did and she high-fived Andrew Copson and her co-presenter as they went off-air.

I concur, normskis69. If this was in America he'd be shot... Whilst faith schools are still around though, I don't think they're going to pay much attention the the new rules.

i dont leave it to my kids school to educate my kids on sex, if they want to know anything i tell them, i do not support ignorance in anything and sexual education is no different.
