Newspaper Presents Porn and CSE in Positive Light
Porn is not going to go away. It’s pervasive. So the only effective antidote is to put pornography into the right context so that young people understand that what they see is fantasy and doesn’t represent healthy, consensual relationships.
Given that many parents don’t know how to have frank discussions with their children, schools should then play a bigger role.
I urge the government to be bold in its review and implement a comprehensive sex education programme for all schools, based on best practices.
Parents who are not comfortable with their children going through a more comprehensive programme should be given a chance to opt out. But they should not hold back the education of the next generation of kids.
