Christian Concern for our Nation and the Christian Legal Centre have come out in opposition to a proposed amendment to the Academies Bill that could see academies forced to teach sex education lessons to children and teenagers.
The amendment put forward by Baroness Massey of Darwen and Baroness Flather seeks to make Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) a compulsory component of the curriculum in academies. The Bill is at the report stage and is due for a third reading on July 13.
If the amendment is passed, it will require academies to provide sex education lessons to students, including lessons on same-sex relationships, divorce and abortion.
