The episode discusses the implications of Italy's new laws on sex education and the debate surrounding parental control over LGBT topics in schools.
Italy has just passed new laws that would ban sex education in primary schools and make it opt-in (with parental consent) in secondary school — and it’s sparked a massive debate: should Ireland do the same? Adrian and Jeremy ask if parents should have the final say on lessons covering homosexuality, gender identity and trans issues… or if that’s a dangerous “slippery slope” that lets people opt out of anything they don’t like. Callers Jess, Chloe, Anthony, Amy and Aine go head-to-head on “trans ideology”, tolerance, social media influence, misinformation like the “furries in schools” claim, and whether schools are educating kids… or “pushing an agenda”.
