Wales has banned parents from stopping their children learning about sex, religion and LGBT people
Wales has removed the rights of parents to prevent their children from learning about different types of relationships.
Parents have long had the right to withdraw children from relationship and sexuality education (RSE) and religious education (RE), but Welsh education minister Kirsty Williams announced on Tuesday that parents will no longer be permitted to deny their kids access to teaching about relationships and different religions.
Very proud Welshman here. We will have a more tolerant and civil society.
Very misleading. More like the parents would like to control HOW their kids are taught these things, and by WHOM.
Not everyone believes the smiling lady from the state has their absolute best interest in mind. Education policies can be filled with political or religious biases and parents have the right to opt out of certain things for their kids, especially if they feel their kids are too young for some things, or may have special life circumstances. Ah but yes, the STATE always knows better than the dumb knuckle dragging parents. Whatever happened to diversity of thought and choice?
And WHEN.
