well, b/c some parents, school officails feel it's part and parcel of a person's education. There is more to sex education than just telling a person that a penis goes into a vagina, you know. There's also the physiology of sexual reproduction, the physiology of the human body and how a baby grows inside a woman's womb...and so on and so on.

seems the schools are gearing up to expand their authority/privileges over what topics are they allowed to teach about and as expected it will most likely bring more problems than solutions, as they aim to replace/appropriate parental duties/rights one step at a time:

Sex education lessons will start at the age of seven in new Government curriculum

Children as young as seven will be taught the facts of life in compulsory sex education lessons.

Pupils aged five will prepare for the classes by learning about body parts and sex differences. More explicit material will be covered if it is raised by the youngsters.

Family campaigners are furious at the measures. However, ministers have yet to decide whether parents will be able to withdraw children from the classes, due to be introduced by 2010.

The reforms bring personal, social and health education on to the mandatory school curriculum alongside subjects such as maths and English.

As well as covering sex and relationships, primary and secondary schools will be under a duty to teach pupils about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.

the standard problem-reaction-solution is applied:

Unveiling the shake-up, Schools Minister Jim Knight blamed 'soap storylines and music videos' for increasing children's exposure to 'sexual imagery and sexual content'.

He said age-appropriate sex and relationships education from five onwards was needed to combat the 'earlier sexualisation' of youngsters.

But family campaigners described the lessons as 'too much, too young' and said they could have the opposite effect and encourage sexualisation.

They accused ministers of reneging on a promise to hold a full public consultation before accepting the conclusions of their sex education review group.
