A group of parents have lost a legal challenge to stop a new sex education curriculum from being taught across Wales from September.

Public Child Protection Wales, a parent’s group, sought a High Court injunction on Aug. 23 asking the Welsh government to delay the rollout of the compulsory Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE), which they worry will sexualise children as young as 7 and push gender ideology on them.
