| Message | Comeee on! No sexual education? Apparently you can beat a boy but god forbid you can't show a penis in a classroom? |

| Message | If you read the article carefully, you will see that the choice is left up to the school, in both cases, sex education will continue in most schools, if the teachers think it is necessary. However we see no need for primay schools or nursery schools to have compulsory sex education, hopefully three years olds won't need it just yet. |
