We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to protect ourparental rights and our young children against the use ofsexual terms in schools. Our local school has decided to start teaching sex education toour children at age 7+ yrs old. We believe this is far tooyoung for children to be subjected to sexual diagrams (man ontop of woman nude) and words like...orgasm, ejaculation and erection. We believe this is not relevant to their life until around the age of 10 when they can start to learn about puberty and so forth. The only option (as parents) is to exclude our children from these classes and thus creating a difficault situation with the child feeling'different'. I have seen the material that will be presented to mydaughter and I am appalled. Many parents in my community of Long Stratton (Norfolk)wish to start a petition against these NEW classes. Let CHILDREN beCHILDREN!
Reaching this point has been an exhausting uphill climb but seeing this level of momentum proves we are not alone in our concerns. The pushback I have faced is draining yet the collective resolve shown here keeps me moving forward.

Some things belong at home with the parents. Totally inappropriate for the classroom.

Leave the kids alone. They need to be playing outside not looking at diagrams like that.

Completely agree. Let them be kids! They have their whole lives to worry about that stuff later.
