It frightens me sometimes how so many do-gooders in government and other agencies interfere and tinker with people’s minds and lives.
The news today is that children as young as five are to have lessons in ‘gender equality’ as part of a so-called national strategy to tackle violence against women and girls. The poor little mites are also to be taught not to bully transsexuals.
It must be admitted that children see far too much violence on television and that the war games they play on their X-Boxes and other gizmos may encourage violence and incorrect behaviour.
But at the age of five? Can’t they be left to be just children for a few more years?
And can’t teachers be left to do what they have been doing for generations - to teach children right from wrong?
