The Roman Catholic Church has charged that recent primary school sex teaching is pornographic:
The Roman Catholic Church called yesterday for an immediate review of all sex education in Scottish schools after studying "pornographic" teaching material.
The Roman Catholic Church called yesterday for an immediate review of all sex education in Scottish schools after studying "pornographic" teaching material.
John Deighan, the Church's parliamentary officer, said the content and context of a large majority of the material was unsuitable for the age group for which it was intended, and was lacking in any social or moral context.
"I fail to see what educational benefit can be derived from discussing the clitoris with five-year-olds or showing children of that age detailed biological drawings of sexual organs," he said.
"Material dealing with same-sex couples and bisexuals is also inappropriate, as I think most parents would agree, for children of that age.
"It will do nothing except confuse them about sex and about what normal standards of sexual practice are."
He was particularly concerned about videos produced by Channel 4 and available for use in primary schools. It included diagrams of male and female sexual organs, a live birth, and "pornographic" cartoon images of different sexual positions.
Here's a question for you--how different is the above from what your kids are taught/shown in American public schools? Doesn't homeschooling look better every day?
