A majority of councillors have voted to reject controversial sex education materials for schools across the islands.
The content of the lesson resources, provided by the Scottish Government (available on the website rshp.scot) has shocked many people. Concerns were raised that children risked being introduced too soon to some topics.
The materials for primary children include a supposedly ‘comic’ reference to bestiality in one YouTube cartoon. In a lesson to secondary-age pupils, in just one of several inappropriate clips provided for use, a man winks at the camera as he lists categories of pornography.
