LONDON, August 8, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – A former beauty queen now working as a sexologist is turning heads in Britain after her just-aired TV special, Sex in Class, featured her leading a group of Lancashire teens in rewriting a script for a porn movie.
For the program, Goedele Liekens went into homes as well as classrooms to talk sex with parents and their offspring. Liekens took 13 mid-teens, girls and boys, from Hollins Technology College, through a crash course in sex, with students at one point attempting to make art inspired by female reproductive organs.
The TV special was intended to promote the idea that sex education, which is already taught in high schools, "should be repackaged as a serious two-year senior high academic subject such as Mathematics or Physics."
A classroom Q and A with students reveals what Liekens and other reformers want to hear: the boys are not ignorant, but they are seriously misinformed about sex because pornography is their main source of information. They therefore know nothing of the need to ask for their sexual partner’s consent, for example, because this apparently never happens in pornographic encounters.
The class is asked to write their porn script using values learned in class about mutual consent and pleasure giving. Reviewers at the Guardian, Telegraph and Independent all raved about the show and Liekens’ persona.
The pro-life Society for the Protection of Unborn Children's Antonia Tully said: "Sex isn't an academic subject; it is a personal matter. What are they going to cover? We don't need lessons to titillate teenagers. This is not the best approach to ensuring children are protected. Parents are the best people to talk to children about these intimate details."
Sex education is already taught in public high schools. It is not taught in private or Christian ones, nor in primary schools. But in the last election, the Labour and Liberal Democratic parties both called for compulsory sex education in both primary and Christian schools, and Labour insisted schools teach that homosexuality is as morally acceptable as heterosexuality.
Labour MP Yvette Cooper said universal sex education is the first step to combat "homophobic and transphobic bullying." This mimics the arguments used by the Canadian provincial governments of Alberta and Ontario to justify expansion of sex education to Christian schools, though no instances of "transphobic" bullying have been produced in such schools in either province.
The Christian Institute's Colin Hart challenged these ideas because of the harmful content involved and because the government would be controlling the content – or rather, turning control of the content over to the latest trendy private interest group. "Sex education would be centralized, and power would be taken away from school governors. It would be put in the hands of groups that promote the use of resources which are wholly unsuitable for young children."
"Groups that have a track record of promoting gratuitously explicit and inappropriate materials want to force these lessons on schools when there is simply no need, and in a way which does more harm than good," said Hart. He cited the Sex Education Forum, a private group campaigning for mandatory sex education in primary schools. It suggests on its webpage, he said, "that primary schools use a book which shows drawings of a variety of sexual positions" with the line "Here are some ways mummies and daddies fit together."
It is no surprise that Channel Four is the producer of Liekens's show. It is a national, publicly owned broadcaster with an apparent fixation on matters sexual. In fact, its reality series The Sex Education Show has been covering much the same territory as the Sex in Class special for five years. It takes its attractive female host, Anna Richardson, into high schools across Great Britain to acquaint teachers, parents, and students with all the frank and graphic portrayals of sexuality they are missing but their European Union cousins are getting across the English Channel. (A sample summary from Season Five, Episode Six: "The show visits York High to teach pupils about male puberty. And Anna Richardson shows some parents how easy it is to log into online chat rooms with shocking conversations and content.")
Channel Four also presents such catchily named reality shows aimed at the teen market as The Sex Box, My Big Fat Sexual Fetish, Teen Taboos, Sex Toy Stories, and Sex on Wheels.
And, it takes about an hour or two to teach the biology of human reproduction. An entire semester, or year, on the subject of sex is merely teaching the various perversions.
Just looked her up. Every thirteen year old would not have a problem writing a script with her in it.
Yeah and they’ve banned teaching anything on Christianity. Even though they have the queens church supposedly as a keystone still.
Granted, I guess dissing the queens church is a lot easier than ditching the Lords church.
Another reason to homeschool.
Already been done...
...that’s a beating
...that’s a beating
Much like their politicians....it’s YOURS that is the problem, not mine (wish it were /s)
I’m just here for an argument
Things have certainly evolved (or devolved)
from the days of little boys looking up from
the bottom rung of the monkey bars.
Good point.
Script for a porno?
I wish I had writing assignments that easy. What is the average porno script, about half a page for a full length feature?
“Hello, I’m the plumber, I’m here to check the pipes”
(Cue music)
Scene.
“They therefore know nothing of the need to ask for their sexual partners consent, for example, because this apparently never happens in pornographic encounters.”
Nor does it happen much in real life, at least in my experience.
“The Sex Box, My Big Fat Sexual Fetish, Teen Taboos, Sex Toy Stories, and Sex on Wheels.”
Sounds like the Friday night line up on Cinemax
Huh?
“Government education” masquerading as “education”.
Liquid Plumber made an add that never aired. It’s on youtube, liquid plumber double impact.
If I had it to do over; I’d send our son to a Christian private school. Didn’t realize just how far public schools would fall into the liberal crevasse until it was too late. - When I was in public school; it certainly not like it is now. I’m 69, behind the times by choice.
Once upon a time mankind was interested in the pursuit of beauty, truth and goodness, now it seems it is fixated on buggery and social media.
