A British mother took her little girl out of school in March 2010 after seeing a sex education film the seven-year-old had been made to watch in class. The cartoon film showed a couple in a bedroom, naked and having sex. The young pupils were made to watch the Channel 4 sex education DVD, "Living and Growing", at their village primary school in Lincolnshire. After seeing the film herself, Lisa Bullivant removed her daughter from the school and placed her in another local primary school. Mrs Bullivant's complaint was that the cartoon was sexually explicit, very graphic and not suitable for children seven years old. Her daughter had been frightened by what she saw, she said, and children in the class had been trying to copy what teachers had shown them on film. [Ed.: teaching sex and sexual attitudes is not the bailiwick of bureaucrats and civil servants known as teachers. If an average person showed such a film to a 7-year-old, he or she would be arrested for child abuse.] (03/05/10)
