So I guess no can supply a link to a non religious body who has significant concerns with the safe school program.

Big nana asserting there are a producing one are two different things.

As for religious bigotry, that is rich, can you let me know a non religious organisation protecting pedo's?

u obviously have not heard of Jimmy Saville and the bbc. Also do a little research and you will find that one of the architects of ' safe' schools in Canada is in prison for molesting kids. Just does not suite your narrative cornonacob.

Most psychologists seem to be concerned about the sexualisation of children, particularly the sexualisation of girls.

And they are concerned about "the prevalence of sexualised images of children and early adolescents in the media" and concerned about "exploitation of children, particularly girls, as sexual objects".

https://www.psychology.org.au/community/public-interest/sexualisation/

But now, we have programs in schools that emphasis that children know their sexual identity, and they should be sexually attractive to others.

So is this emphasis on sexual identity and being sexually attractive a part of the sexualisation of children?

Absolutely.

Sexual identity and sexuality should not be much of an interest to children at all.

When teachers can improve the marks of Australian children in areas such as literacy and maths, then they might be trusted to teach children about sex and sexual identity.

Until then....

Why do you want one? Does it prove something? Do you only listen to bodies? Are you afraid the truth might come from individuals or thousands of parents or other teachers? Are you closed off to all those possibilities where the truth might be found? It is not a very reasonable way to search for what is best when you begin to limit who is allowed to contribute to the debate.

"As for religious bigotry, that is rich, can you let me know a non religious organisation protecting pedo's?"

We are discussing what type of education is best for children. We are not discussing pedophilia or the covering up of pedophilia. If you want to change the subject then perhaps you could make your own thread in the general discussion.

This is effing sick on so many levels, sorry.
"The program includes a "role-playing game" for 12 year olds which includes students taking on the character of a bisexual who has had 15 sexual partners and rarely practices safe sex, because she is often drunk when she has sex."

Role playing game?
As in 'ENCOURAGE' them to step into those shoes?
This isn't an exercise in building tolerance to others or a healthy attitude to sex.
How do you pretend to do something you've never actually done?
Therefore this 'role playing game' is encouraging 12 year olds to take part in multi-gender sex with numerous partners whilst grossly underaged.
This is an effort to normalise sex with children and whether intended or not will lead to pedophiles eventually arguing for the right to legally be able have to have sex with kids.

I really don't get where anyone thinks its ok to promote explicit sexual knowledge to underage kids:
1. Who aren't legally allowed to have sex.
2. Who aren't legally allowed to view explicit sexual content.
3. And do so without parental consent.

If anyone else did this (including parents themselves) they would be visited by the DOCS or the Police.
What happened to R18+ or did that just get thrown out with today's easy internet accessibility to porn?

I must be getting old... the damn countries being run by communists and peedo's and it makes me want to throw up.

//As for teaching young people that frequent casual sex is either emotionally healthy//

What is emotionally unhealthy about casual sex? Everyone behaves differently; it's not unhealthy unless their behaviour causes dysfunction or distress.

//What we don't need is kids forced into believing random casual sex is the norm or that it will ever provide the pleasure that comes from sex with a person you have a strong emotional attachment to.//

How do you know what will provide pleasure to other people, Big Nana? There are people out there who genuinely seem to enjoy stupid and dangerous pastimes like parkour and BASE jumping. I'm scared of heights and you'd never catch me doing it. But that doesn't mean other people won't enjoy it. Different strokes for different folks.

See, this is what television does to people. I bet AC's parents just plonked him in front of the box and never gave him books to read.

It's called an imagination, AC. Everyone has one, even you. It may not be very highly developed, but it's what allows you to imagine that vaccines cause peanut allergies, and that Nazis didn't slaughter Jews, and all the other unicorns you believe in.
