Consultation on the Curriculum and Assessment (Wales) Bill
Evidence submitted to the Children, Young People and Education Committee for Stage 1 scrutiny of the Curriculum and Assessment (Wales) Bill.
Individual
1. The Bill’s general principles
1.1 Do you support the principles of the Curriculum and Assessment (Wales) Bill?
No
1.2 Please outline your reasons for your answer to question 1.1
(we would be grateful if you could keep your answer to around 1500 words)
There is evidence of a global roll out of sexuality education which I believe you people are unaware of, if you are aware then I am afraid you are complicit in child sexual exploitation, this is not welcome in our country and is also a criminal offence.
1.3 Do you think there is a need for legislation to deliver what this Bill is trying to achieve?
(we would be grateful if you could keep your answer to around 500 words)
Not for RSE, NO! I’ve been studying this a while, I don’t think you’ve gotten this right.
2. The Bill’s implementation
2.1 Do you have any comments about any potential barriers to implementing the Bill? If no, go to question 3.1
(we would be grateful if you could keep your answer to around 500 words)
Yes, we are taking you to court if you do not remove RSE from the mandatory element.
2.2 Do you think the Bill takes account of these potential barriers?
(we would be grateful if you could keep your answer to around 500 words)
Not at all, hence why you have gone over our heads online polls which many did NOT have access to.
3. Unintended consequences
3.1 Do you think there are there any unintended consequences arising from the Bill? If no, go to question 4.1
(we would be grateful if you could keep your answer to around 500 words)
Not at all, hence why you have gone over our heads online polls which many did NOT have access to.
4. Financial implications
4.1 Do you have any comments on the financial implications of the Bill (as set out in Part 2 of the Explanatory Memorandum)? If no, go to question 5.1
(we would be grateful if you could keep your answer to around 500 words)
How much public money will be wasted on a court battle? I would like to see the people responsible stand by their convictions & pay for the fallout themselves, but we all know that will never happen.
5. Powers to make subordinate legislation
5.1 Do you have any comments on the appropriateness of the powers in the Bill for Welsh Ministers to make subordinate legislation (as set out in Chapter 5 of Part 1 of the Explanatory Memorandum). If no, go to question 6.1.
(we would be grateful if you could keep your answer to around 500 words)
Wholly inappropriate based on the RSE element & no opt out provision
6. Other considerations
6.1 Do you have any other points you wish to raise about this Bill?
(we would be grateful if you could keep your answer to around 1000 words)
The Bill makes no provision for parents to be able to withdraw their children from RVE. I believe this is a breach for parents’ rights to respect religious and philosophical convictions under article 2 protocol 1 (right to education) and their right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion under Article 9 of the European convention on human rights.
