One third of schools said they would present heterosexual relationships as the 'main' or 'ideal' context for intimacy, and some went further.

 

Some schools in Northern Ireland have been teaching children that homosexuality is wrong, during relationships and sex education classes - known as RSE - according to a new report. 

 

The report, from the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission, found that around one-third of schools stated they would teach pupils that heterosexual relationships were the "main" or "ideal" context for sex. 

But some schools go even further, to explicitly "outline their beliefs that homosexuality is wrong in their policies."

 

One example given in the report from a school stated “the belief that homosexual acts are against the nature and purpose of human relationships will be presented to pupils.”

The report also found that some schools "contributed to the shame and stigma surrounding unplanned pregnancy and abortion" by making statements such as "those who knowingly engage in casual sex must bear the consequences of their actions.
