Children as young as 6 years old will be taught about “stimulating” their own genitals in compulsory classes across hundreds of primary schools in the UK.
The controversial classes have caused outrage among parents who believe the lessons are “sexualizing” young children.

The new sex education teaching program called ‘All About Me’ is being rolled out across 241 primaries by Warwickshire County Council.
Rt.com reports: The program, in turn, is designed to be taught in accordance with the compulsory Relationship and Sex Education (RSE), which will be implemented all across the UK next September.
In the section called ‘Touching Myself’, the teachers are advised to tell the youngsters that “lots of people like to tickle or stroke themselves as it might feel nice,” including touching their “private parts.” The children are told that this is “really very normal,” despite the fact that “some people may get cross or say that it is dirty.”
The children are then warned that it is “not polite” to touch themselves in class or other public places, and they should “only” do it when they “are alone, perhaps in the bath or shower or in bed.”
Some parents were shocked by the program, saying that children of such young ages should not be exposed to mature topics like masturbation. “This sexualisation of our children is just totally inappropriate,” Matthew Seymour told the Mail on Sunday.
“They are calling it self-touching and they won’t use the term masturbation, but when you read it that’s exactly what they’re talking about.”
Parents who disagree with this type of sex education took their children from school when it was taught. A number of education experts and teachers criticized the program’s wording for being too vague and not suitable for primary schoolers.
“We never use the word self-stimulation, not in primary school. For us it is not appropriate,” teacher Lynette Smith said.
Even some politicians who support the idea of compulsory sex education are skeptical towards All About Me. Conservative MP David Davies was “furious” over the program.
“These classes go way beyond the guidance the Government is producing and are effectively sexualising very young children,” he said.
Warwickshire County Council, meanwhile, maintains that the lessons simply tell young students how to “distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate touching” and “recognise the difference between public and private behaviours.”
The council’s website says the program helps to develop the skills required for managing “healthy relationships,” builds “self-esteem” and allows the children “to explore personal identity.”
One of the program’s authors, education consultant Jonny Hunt, argued that “however uncomfortable adults may find it, children of all ages will self-stimulate from time to time.”

Touches and tickles, this will give the Muslim teachers permission to demonstrate right?
UK School System Certainly Doesn’t Care About Protecting The Children!!! My Kids Would Be Out Of There So Fast!!
They won’t know how to read a book, write a letter or add a column of numbers but by golly they’ll know how to pound their parts!
Their school system needs to be completely dismantled.
.
Oh My God! What is WRONG with the British! Parents should file lawsuits to stop this!.
Certainly opens the door for Pedophile Teachers!!! My kids would NOT be going to that school!!!
Unforgivable sin, Jesus spoke about this type of sin.
