Anger over OFSTED sex questioning

MEP Paul Nuttall, UKIP deputy leader

Ensuring youngsters learn 'British values' should not involve questioning impressionable primary school children about sex, said UKIP deputy leader Paul Nuttall.

"I was horrified to read that Ofsted inspectors actually quizzed 10-year-olds about lesbian sex and transsexuality. I find that absolutely appalling.

"Instilling so called 'British values' involving democracy, liberty and tolerance is vitally important but primary school children should be concentrating on learning the 3 Rs and not having details about Lesbian sex and gender issues forced upon them.

"It is quite wrong for these inspectors to be asking if they or their friends felt trapped in 'the wrong body' and if they know what Lesbians 'did'. I know they grow up fast these days but they should not have their innocence taken away from them by government edict.

"Little children do not need to have this sort of information forced on them to appease government guidelines," said Mr Nuttall, North West MEP.
