Interesting campaign you've got here. But is it not misleading? The Schools Minister Jim Knight has said: "We are not talking about five-year-olds being taught about sex. At key stage one [ages five to seven] they will be learning about themselves, their differences, their friendships, how to have strong friendships and how to manage their feelings." Is this so wrong Majed? What problems will this cause the Muslim community?
