"Truly, it is the indescribable sweetness of contemplation which you give to those who love you. In this you have shown the tenderness of your charity, that when I had no being you made me; and when I strayed away from you, you brought me back again to serve you and commanded me to love you." The Imitation of Christ

That CSF Bill...
It is worth noting that the majority of parents are unaware of the sort of thing that passes for sex education in this country.
Less than five years ago, during a sex education lesson, I heard the school nurse tell the class that the age of consent ought to be brought down to 12 or even lower...
And this is what is going to be taught to our five year-olds?
What is the age of consent in England & Wales now? [I understand Scotland's might be different.]
ReplyDeleteHere it varies state to state, but it's generally 16. [In California, it's 18.]
Not sure about Scotland, though I suspect it's the same as England - where it is 16.
ReplyDeleteHowever, they want to teach sex ed from the age of 5.
