Students asked about sex, masturbation, by Natasha Bita.
A new sex education course funded by taxpayers is quizzing 12-year-old children about sex and masturbation and teaching them to search online for sexual information.
The Practical Guide to Love, Sex and Relationships — produced by the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society at La Trobe University — also directs students to study a gay website criticised by federal Education Minister Simon Birmingham. …
The Year 7 and 8 students are told to navigate three websites, including the controversial Minus 18 site that explains to teenagers how to bind their chests or tuck their penises.
Minus 18 removed links to a sex shop and a Melbourne gay bar after questioning from The Australian in February. But the site still teaches children how to “cover their tracks’’ to erase internet searches, making it harder for parents to monitor their children’s internet use.
Well that’s less time spent on reading, writing, and mathematics. Get with the program, comrades!
