Well, That Takes Most Nursery Rhymes And Fairy Stories Off The List Of Approved Reading...

Primary schoolchildren are to be educated about domestic abuse and healthy relationships.
Is this meddling never going to stop? Not that this is the stupidest idea, as Longrider points out...
The Good Relationships are Equal and Trusting (GREAT) project will be piloted in Stanley Road and Gorse Hill schools, Worcester, along with others in Redditch and Kidderminster, in the new year.
The Worcestershire Forum Against Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence is backing the scheme, under which year six pupils will attend four two-hour sessions.
/facepalm
The forum’s strategic co-ordinator Martin Lakeman said he was happy to support the programme, which will focus on teaching youngsters how to spot signs of abuse and to respect each other.
“Making sure children are aware of these issues from an early age is vital to encouraging healthy relationships in adulthood,” he said.
And some awkward questions during story time, I bet...

  1. That should destroy any faith the little ones have in family life - which is no doubt the aim.

  2. So who takes resonsibility for the murder of the first kid who challenges their breeder's behaviour by reporting them to The Authorities ?

  3. These progressives are for ever reacting to symptoms never causes. Could it be that they would then have to admit that they were the architects of the causes in the first place.

  5. We went through this rot back in the 1960's. It had one small stumbling block... Nobody would read the rubbish produced in favour of halfway decent stories. But it was "Approved" the great and the good complained, "How can they not read it and like it?" they asked. "Because it's crap" the parents and children replied!

  6. In the same way that teenage boys in desperation turn to the most innocuous means of sexual titillation to fuel their masturbatory fantasies (such as swimwear catalogues) the organs of the all-knowing, all-powerful state such as Martin Lakeman find new and interesting ways to waste time and effort.

    Feeble of mind and body, these functionaries fail - in the same way that they failed in their education, otherwise they'd be minting it in the City - to understand the essential dynamics of a happy family life.

    If they operate under the delusion that eight hours of huggy-fluffy conditioning can somehow make any sort of difference whatsoever, good luck to them. But they won't lose their jobs when they fail.

  7. "...which is no doubt the aim."

    It's certainly a fortuitous result, if not the aim, for the progressives..

    "So that's Punch and Judy banned then."

    I'd be astounded if that was still running!

    "But they won't lose their jobs when they fail."

    And that's the problem!
