Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World describes a future “World State” where children are inculcated with lessons on sex and class consciousness, where “erotic play between children” is a core component of their education. Huxley intended his work as satire, but in the Clown World of 2019, it’s becoming grim reality.

Children as young as six are being taught about touching or ‘stimulating’ their own genitals as part of classes that will become compulsory in hundreds of primary schools.

Some parents believe the lessons – part of a controversial new sex and relationships teaching programme called All About Me – are ‘sexualising’ their young children.

This is worse than “sexualising”: it’s state-sanctioned grooming.

All About Me is being rolled out across 241 primaries by Warwickshire County Council and could be adopted by other local authorities next year as part of the Government’s overhaul of Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) […] Even politicians who had supported the RSE legislation expressed concern. Tory MP David Davies said: ‘I and many other parents would be furious at completely inappropriate sexual matters being taught to children as young as six. These classes go way beyond the guidance the Government is producing and are effectively sexualising very young children.’

On its own, teaching children that there are social rules and boundaries around touching themselves is not inappropriate – but it’s the role of parents and guardians to do so, not the state.

Documents obtained by The Mail on Sunday detail how All About Me classes involve pupils aged between six and ten being told by teachers that there are ‘rules about touching yourself’. An explanation of ‘rules about self-stimulation’ appears in the scheme’s Year Two lesson plan for six and seven-year-olds…

In one [lesson], pupils are told that when a girl called Autumn ‘has a bath and is alone she likes to touch herself between her legs. It feels nice’.

At this point, teachers are advised to remind the students of the ‘rules about self-stimulation’.

[…]From next September, parents will not be able to withdraw children from these lessons.

The Babylon Bee recently ran the headline, Prime Minister Issues Friendly Reminder To UK Parents That The State Owns Their Children. Once again, satire has been outpaced by Clown World reality.

So, while British children are being taught how to wank in school, how’s the rest of their education going?

Nearly one in five youngsters who stay in school until the age of 18 leave without basic qualifications, a report said yesterday […]the Children’s Commissioner for England Anne Longfield said […]‘These are children who will have spent 14 years in compulsory education, often having more than £100,000 of public money spent on their education, and yet are leaving the […] system without basic benchmark qualifications.’

Maybe if they spent more time clutching pens rather than penises, or rubbing out their mistakes rather than rubbing one out, these kids might actually have a chance at learning something.
