Only some schools need FGM lessons
AS PART of new changes to the (now compulsory) sex education curriculum, the Government has pledged to teach pupils about the abhorrent practice of female genital mutilation.
But why? FGM is a form of torture and child abuse that only affects a very small number of pupils from specific — and clearly identifiable — backgrounds.
Truth is, the only people who need educating about FGM are the individuals and communities that continue to practise it. Anything else is just politically correct nonsense.
