Sex is normal between 13 year-olds

Here`s the Daily Mail:

 

"Sex between 13-year-olds is a normal part of growing up, according to official guidance for teachers. The online resource for school staff also gives sexual behaviour in nine-year-olds the green light. Drawn up by sexual health service Brook, the national guidance was sent to all schools earlier this year."

"The Family Education Trust – which sounded the alarm over the pack in evidence to MPs on the Commons education select committee – yesterday urged the Government to distance itself from the advice. But it has already been endorsed by the Department for Education and a string of ministers including Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg."

"Although it is not specifically intended to form part of sex education lessons, it encourages teachers to view sex between 13-year-olds as normal..."

"Sarah Carter, of the Family Education Trust, told MPs that the guidance was at odds with what many parents would want their children to be told."

Whether or not the guidance is at odds with what many parents want is neither here nor there these days since self proclaimed experts have more sway with the government than parents do who are increasingly put under the microscope.

You have to ask: How did this man get himself into the position of an `expert`?
