Grooming our children, Part 2: ‘No such thing as normal’
By Belinda Brown, TCW:
So far in her series on the grooming scandal unleashed by the government’s introduction of relationships and sex education in schools from 4 years up, Belinda Brown has focused on the tactics of a new army of sex educators. Getting parents out of the picture comes first. Next is ‘re-educating’ children into denying male and female differences and preferences. Today she examines a third facet of this grooming exercise: their insistence that there is no such thing as normal.
ONCE male and female differences and preferences have been thoroughly buried, the next step for the sex educators is to ‘queer’ what is normal. They do this by convincing pupils there is no such thing as normal, heterosexual sex.
For example, one activity recommended in the Hoyle and McGeeney teacher training manual (p199) requires 14-year-olds to brainstorm all the different ways in which people can have sex. Teachers are told that if the activity becomes derailed into listing more extreme practices they can encourage children to focus on the kinds of sexual activity that are more common for people to experience but without using loaded words like ‘normal’. Is this to encourage children to think that extreme practices constitute normal sex? Rather than letting pupils to see things as wrong or even disgusting they are told to teach them to be ‘non-judgemental’ and understand there are many ways of doing sex.
Switching off children’s antennae for normality dangerously suppresses the very feelings that alert them to confusion, fear or disgust.
The Hoyle and McGeeney manual also advises teachers to leave ‘feelings’ until last. Here teachers can emphasise that love and affection are often important parts of good sex, but not always. ‘For others good sex is quick, rough and anonymous. You can also explore the fact that some people enjoy feeling pain during sex, which is often referred to as kink or BDSM. As with all sexual practices what matters is that sex is consensual and that partners are able to listen and respect each other’s wishes and desires.’
That is all that matters? Clearly not all RSE teachers are following such amoral and irresponsible advice but this is the authoritative advice many are getting.
