UK Schools Teaching 12-Year-Olds Anal Sex, Nine-Year-Olds Masturbation – Report
According to a report by the Daily Mail UK, certain lesson plans in schools across the United Kingdom have raised concerns as they involve inappropriate content being taught to schoolchildren. These materials include information about anal sex, orgasms, and masturbation, which are introduced to children before they have reached puberty. The secretive nature of these lessons has come to light, revealing that some teachers are presenting scientifically false claims about biological sex. They promote the idea that gender is fluid and perpetuate the narrative that individuals can be born in the wrong body.
This issue has surfaced amid the NHS facing potential legal action from around 1,000 families who allege that their children were hastily prescribed life-altering puberty blockers by the Tavistock Centre. MailOnline’s investigation has uncovered explicit teaching materials, including a sex manual for pre-teens, being used in classrooms across the UK.
These concerns arise following a mother’s unsuccessful attempt to gain access to the content of her 15-year-old daughter’s Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) classes, which have been compulsory for the past three years. Despite the court ruling against Clare Page, MailOnline has discovered numerous questionable teaching resources already available online.
Some activist teachers have been distributing colouring books, word searches, and cartoons to young boys and girls, apparently driven by their misguided mission to sexualize children under the guise of inclusivity.
Since September 2020, primary schools have been required to provide Relationships Education, while secondary schools must offer mandatory RSE. This sudden change has left many educators searching for guidance, which some charities have attempted to provide. However, it has been revealed that certain charities harbour unconventional views on biological sex and share materials on their websites that reference underage sexual activities.
According to MailOnline, it uncovered concerning information regarding the content being taught to children, revealing that some of them are being exposed to highly explicit topics. These include the teaching that babies from birth to the age of one can experience pleasurable sensations by touching their genitals. Additionally, 12-year-old girls are given instructions on how to achieve orgasm through various methods of self-stimulation, such as pinching or stroking the clitoris. Shockingly, children are even assigned “masturbation” as homework from a resource used prior to the compulsory implementation of Relationships and Sex Education (RSE).
Furthermore, children are being informed that girls as young as 12 can derive sexual pleasure from anal, vaginal, and oral sex. They are taught that it is normal to experience sexual urges and engage in masturbation even before reaching puberty. Disturbingly, they are also being told that it is normal for prepubescent children to feel sexual attraction towards anyone.
In addition to these explicit topics, children are being taught that gender is distinct from biological sex and is a fundamental aspect of one’s identity. They are instructed that individuals can change their sex from male to female, and that some people identify as “non-binary,” existing outside the categories of male and female. Astonishingly, children are even taught that individuals with the male Y chromosome can be considered women.
Leading charities, including the Sex Education Forum (SEF), Coram Life Education, and Brook, are involved in creating lesson plans for schools, conducting PSHE workshops, and guiding teachers to educational resources. Coram Life Education supports a vast number of teachers, reaching over 600,000 pupils annually through their PSHE education initiatives. SEF proudly states on its website that it has a significant history of influencing policy.
While some teachers and educators argue that Relationships and Sex Education are vital subjects for children to learn, the explicit and questionable nature of the content being taught raises serious concerns about the appropriateness and impact of these lessons.

Trump Insists on Mass Deportation, Unveils Early Agenda
The President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, has vowed to make good on his election promises of mass deportations and new tariffs in his first television interview since his re-election.
Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, Trump reiterated his intention to deport every person who had entered the US without authorisation.
“I think you have to do it, and it’s a very tough thing to do, but you have rules, regulations, laws. They came in illegally,” Trump said.
“You know, the people who have been treated unfairly are the people who have been waiting on line for 10 years to come into the country.”
Trump said he was willing to work with Democrats to keep so-called “Dreamers”– undocumented people who came to the US as children and have lived in the US most of their lives – in the country but also suggested that US citizens could be deported along with their undocumented family members.
“I don’t want to be breaking up families,” Trump said. “So the only way you don’t break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back.”
Trump also reiterated his intention to end birthright citizenship, which is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution.
Amending the Constitution is a lengthy and difficult process involving Congress and all 50 states, but Trump said he was exploring options including an “executive action” to end what he called a “ridiculous” right.
“I’m looking to make our country great. I’m looking to bring down prices because I won on two things… I won on the border, and I won on groceries,” he said.
Trump said that while he “can’t guarantee” that his plan to impose tariffs on Canada, China and Mexico would not push up prices, tariffs would ultimately help the US economy.
“I’m a big believer in tariffs. Tariffs are beautiful. They’re going to make us rich,” he said.
“Why are we subsidising these countries? If we’re going to subsidise them, let them become a State.”
During the interview, Trump also discussed plans to pull back on US support for Ukraine and said Kyiv should “probably” prepare for less aid.
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Washington has approved nearly $183bn in military, humanitarian and other assistance to Ukraine, according to US government data.
Outgoing President Joe Biden has pledged a further $988m in aid and an additional $925m before he leaves office on January 20.
The Republican said he was “actively” trying to end the war in Ukraine but would not confirm how recently he had spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he has spoken about with admiration in the past.
“I don’t want to say anything that could impede the negotiation,” he said.
Trump said that the US would only remain in NATO if members “pay their bills” and if its majority European members “treat the US fairly” by expanding bilateral trade.
The president-elect also said that if he had remained in the White House after the 2020 election, the wars in Ukraine and Gaza would have never happened.
Trump and many of his supporters claim that the 2020 election was “stolen” by Biden and the Democrats.
Anger over the election results later led Trump supporters to storm the US Capitol building on January 6, 2021, in a failed bid to overturn the vote.
During his interview, Trump said he would consider pardoning the 944 people who received criminal sentences for their role in the uprising.
Among them, 562 had been sentenced to prison time as of August, according to the US Justice Department.
“I’m going to look at everything. We’ll look at individual cases, but I’m going to be acting very quickly… the first day,” Trump said.
“These people have been in prison three to four years, and they’re in a filthy, disgusting place that shouldn’t even be allowed to be open.”
Trump said that lawmakers who took part in a Congressional investigation into the events of January 6 should go to prison, although he stopped short of saying he would direct the FBI to investigate.
Trump also said he would not stop his chosen FBI director, Kash Patel, from investigating the so-called “deep state”.
“If they think that somebody was dishonest or crooked or a corrupt politician, I think he probably has an obligation to do so,” Trump said.
Trump sidestepped questions about whether he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Biden, although he separately accused the outgoing president of weaponising the justice system against him.
“I’m looking to make our country successful. Retribution will be through success,” Trump said.
