Police removed members of a public gallery during a "chaotic" council meeting about a new sex education policy. Several women left Gwynedd council chamber in tears after a graphic leaflet was issued by opponents. It claimed the new Welsh Government policy being introduced across Wales would introduce young children to a variety of sexual ideas.
However, the leaflet's claims were rejected by the Welsh Government as "full of misinformation" and "incorrect". A spokesperson said children would "only learn topics that are appropriate to their age and development".
The incident unfolded on Thursday night at the council offices in Caernarfon, in a meeting called for by five Gwynedd councillors. They opposed the policy and said it could have "potentially very significant consequences for both parents and children". Councillors were held back in the chamber at the end of the meeting for "safety reasons".
