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”.
