SEX EDUCATION SHOULD not be outsourced to outside agencies, such as Catholic groups, said supporters of a new bill which seeks to overhaul such teaching in Irish schools.
Solidarity TD Ruth Coppinger said her legislation, if passed, seeks to remove religious ethos from sex education in schools.
The proposed Bill comes following the minister’s announcement yesterday that a review of the sex education programme is to be undertaken.
“The way sex education is taught to young people in school is not fit for purpose,” said the TD, who was flanked by members of the National Women’s Council, the Rape Crisis Network and the Irish Family Planning Institute who all support the effort.
Sex education in Ireland is “hampered by the religious ethos of the schools and is not factual and objective,” said Coppinger.
There were discussions in the room about examples of people’s experiences of sex education in Irish schools.
Speaking at today’s event, one student said that teaching abstinence only sex education is damaging to young people.
Abstinence and natural family planning methods
One example given was of a teacher telling students of natural family planning methods, such as a girl marking the days on a calendar in which she had her period. The teacher informed students what was the ideal time to conceive.
Another example shared with the room was a teacher discussing the contraceptive pill with students, and then mentioning that she should not really be talking about it with them as it is against the ethos of the school.

arth ping!!
Every interesting they don’t religious groups teaching sex education!!!
And Christians should not be paying the salaries of followers of Satan who prey upon the souls of children.
This is the reason in protest I have an illuminated cross facing the highway in front of my residence.
The government shouldn’t be involved in sex education, either.
There is no Constitutional basis for that; however, there is for the government to keep its nose out of religion.
Ireland not the US.
Parents. The responsibility Bionically is parents and who they appoint not the nanny’s.
Err biblically
Godless Communists like the NOW Feminazis, militant bisexual Weather Underground, murderous Planned Parenthood, and “recruit recruit recruit” Homofascists should not be teaching children about sex and encouraging them to sexually experiment (with members of both sexes, and even engage in violent sado-masochistic rape fantasy).
Ugly truth but it’s the truth about these horribly corrupt immoral nutbags.
Oh. Well, the Constitution is Universal, they just don’t know that. ;-D
>>The government shouldn’t be involved in sex education, either.
The CDC and doctors will encourage your minor daughter to sexually experiment and keep it from the parents.
They will also escort a minor off school campus to an abortionist without parental notification or approval because “sex”.
Planned Parenthood is international and in post-WWII Europe Margaret Sanger was demanding that ALL babies be slaughtered for a period of 10 years in Europe. It wasn’t about choice, she had no remorse for the women who WANTED to conceive and would be infertile after her proposed 10 year ban was lifted.
Well Germany effectively did what Margaret Sanger wanted.
Only the state knows best! Forward, comrades!
No. Only pagans should teach sex ed. /s
Not for ten years.
Not for all peoples.
Pedophiles don’t want children to have morales. They also don’t want young girls to know that pregnancy out of wedlock is the quickest way to poverty.
Amen!
There is no Amendment protecting Federalized Education contributing to the delinquency and corruption of youth.
