Junior sex should be a closed book

https://www.tes.com/magazine/archive/junior-sex-should-be-closed-book
The article on Strange Boy (TES, June 21) states that schools face a dilemma over whether to stock the book about a 10-year-old boy “sharing an outdoor sexual experience” with another boy. I cannot see that the decision is difficult - or am I the only parent in the country who does not want her children to read about 10-year-olds having “sexual experiences” - either homosexual or heterosexual?
