I hope this stupid idea gets thrown in the bin.

Give four-year-olds sex education, say charities

Two leading sexual health charities are calling for children as young as four to be given compulsory sex education.

Brook and the Family Planning Association (FPA) argue that teaching children about sex from a young age would help reduce abortion rates and sexually transmitted infections when they reach adolescence. The charities said children should be taught the names of body parts and about sex and relationships.

As a father of 4 girls, I can't believe what I'm reading. My youngest is 5 years old and she mearly giggles when she sees her mom and I hug..."You're in love and married". I'd hate to see her innocence taken away for the 'future' possibility of STD and abortion teaching.
