How was this a real question?!
Speaking on Question Time, Mr Hinds said: ‘I think it is right, and this is reflected in the new guidance, that during the course of a child’s schooling, they do learn about LGBT+ relationships as part of the diversity of our country.
‘That is the type of country that we live in, where there are different types of relationships and you could have another child in your class who has same-sex parents. ‘It is much safer to have a child hear about that and discuss that in a safe environment, from a teacher, than it is to pick it up on the internet or from other kids.’
When challenged by a member of the audience who said five years old is too young to be exposed to the lessons, Mr Hinds said he trusts teachers to tailor the classes to be age appropriate.Shadow Brexit Minister Ms Chapman said: ‘I think it’s quite important that this is happening and it’s about time we taught our children about healthy friendships and relationships and the fact that not everybody grows up exactly the same family situation and that that’s okay and that we are accepting.
One member of the audience said it’s irresponsible not to teach LGBT+ issues to primary school pupils.
