A culture giving up on its own humanity

Adults have turned from being protectors of children into their sexual predators

Children's story time in America

Britain’s Children’s Commissioner, Dame Rachel de Souza, has expressed shock upon hearing “horrendous” examples of sex education materials used in schools.

She was responding to evidence by a member of the Commons education committee, Tory MP Miriam Cates. The Times (£) reports:

Cates had heard about “a nine year old coming home, shaking, white as a sheet, because they’ve been taught in detail about rape”. She said one parent in her constituency had been “distraught” that her six-year old had been taught about masturbation in school.

She previously detailed examples of children shown dice with body parts written on them, to prompt them to suggest different sex positions, and children taught about rough sex, spanking and choking.

On what planet has the Children’s Commissioner been living until now? As Cates said in a speech last week, the compulsory Relationships and Sex Education framework introduced into schools last year had 

opened the floodgates to a whole host of external providers who offer sex education materials to schools, and now children are being exposed across the country to a plethora of deeply inappropriate, wildly inaccurate, sexually explicit and damaging materials in the name of sex education.
