A new sex and relationships programme will see children taught that marriage is between a man and a woman in Ireland. (Envato Elements)
The Irish Bishops’ Conference has been accused of “indoctrinating” primary school kids with a new relationships and sex education programme.
The programme, titled “Flourish”, has been designed by the Irish Bishops’ Conference for primary school children who attend Catholic-ethos schools.
It will see children told that sex only belongs in “committed relationships” and that puberty is a “gift from God” that means they are “perfectly designed by God to procreate with him”.
Another section, titled “Keeping Safe”, will see children encouraged to recite the “Angel of God” prayer when they face difficulty with relationships or sexuality.
