What was wrong with Section 28? Why the new government guidelines for schools are wise

Thirty-five years ago, there was a lot of fuss when the promotion of homosexuality was banned in schools. Something similar is now happening with the teaching of ‘trans’ ideology.

The decline of this country since Blair has been rapid.

I am always highly suspicious of anyone who wants to introduce sexualised material to children.

Pink Floyd's "Teacher! Leave them kids alone!" is prescient.

My son is 17, just found out they were taught about bottom sex in sex Ed, I was so shocked and upset, why can't they just teach about birds and bees like we were, I never knew anybody who was gay at school, and nowadays that's all they want to be, sick of all this crap just stop teaching our kids rubbish

I am an elderly homosexual.

Practically anything that helps 'thin the herd' is these days not only encouraged, but eventually mandated.

As a teacher, I do not see a child's sexual inclinations as anything to do with my job.

I was a Youth and Community worker until 2001 and thought section 28 made complete sense. I worked with boys who had been SA and now in their teens thought they were gay because they'd been groomed by the abusers for years!

You ever listen to former American president Nixon’s conversations on homosexuality? He predicted all this insanity we are dealing with!

The young seem to think its has become fashionable to be like this,to much air time given to this madness.

There is no place for any kind of sex in schools, leave sex education to parents.

Gay man myself Simon but a conservative one. Agree that children should not be subjected to these modern trans/ alphabet/ woke/ CRT/ anti-British ideologies. Let them have a normal childhood and leave them alone.

Good god has anyone seen the new Dr who. It's absolutely dreadful and no one watches it anymore

When you ban brooming they say it's an attack on their identity, and when you lift the ban they broom. There's a lesson there.

We're all doomed I tell you!

The little ones are being taught lies, which is very dangerous. Even the newborn AIs are being taught to lie, which is potentially fatal for our species. The future is a country where confusion and misapprehension reign.

It just isn’t good enough for them to let people find out for themselves. Activists are running the institutions.

At age 7, I was taught about puppies and kittens. The film then explained that human babies were born the same way. The best bit was when one boy fainted and two others were sick. I had an idea that two members of the same sex couldn’t have babies, but no one said anything else.

Teachers, leave them kids alone.
