Channel 4 sex propaganda

Tomorrow night, the programme Let's Talk Sex will be repeated on Channel 4 (first shown in March last year). It will be broadcast at 8pm (an hour before the "watershed") and pushes the tired and utterly discredited line that teenage pregnancy will be reduced by more sex education.

The programme will be presented by Davina McCall. Her authority in this area is presumably based on her being a presenter of Big Brother. Davina will take you (and your children) on a visit to a Dutch sex education class where children as young as four are taught about homosexuality and shown cartoons of various sex acts. Also featured is that tried and trusted method of preventing teenage pregnancy: unrolling a condom over a prosthetic sex aid.

The Channel 4 website has this deeply moving assessment of the presenter's lone stand against the forces of reaction:
In Let's Talk Sex, Davina McCall takes on the establishment over the crisis of teen pregnancies and spiralling rates of sexually transmitted infections in the UK. It's time for Britain to be brave, she says, and for sex and relationships education to become compulsory.
The "establishment" that she is so courageously taking on is presumably the London-metro British establishment that is so anti sex-education and pro-chastity. Aren't you just in awe at her bravery?

Sadly, propaganda of the Let's Talk Sex type not only leads to more teenage pregnancies but also further exacerbates the epidemic of sexually transmitted infections among teenagers.

The website includes the hackneyed argument about Dutch teenage pregnancy rates being low because of sex education. This article from Family and Youth Concern blew that one apart four years ago.

Below is a linked image to a publicity photo for Big Brother with colleague Dermot O'Leary. I hope it will help parents to decide whether this woman is a good person to trust to give advice to their teenage daughters:

Of course they need to get to the children as early as 4 (earlier if they are in a nursery). They can then influence behaviour in later years. Every behavioural psychologist will tell you this. The only problem being, will they teach these little ones about the sanctity of marriage and chastity - NO WAY. So what will they be brainwashing them with????, knowing that the Latency Period (before 11 years) is not the time to introduce Sex Education. Or have they conveniently forgotten about this, just like they forgot about a childs right to a mother and father when they allowed homosexual adoption.
It seems to me that absolute truths are being altered to suit the whim of the day.
Leave Sex Education to the parents, government research has proved that parents have no problems with this, they certainly can only do a better job than the schools. Teenage pregnancy rates are soaring (which is certainly not the case for the rest of society - maybe the adults need sex education) and all they can offer these troubled teenagers is more sex education and free condoms.
Angels and Saints help us!!!

OK we have been here before hundreds of times but let us take a look at the real problem as far as our Catholic chirdren are concerned. Future teachers in Catholic schools are taught at Universities like Roehampton and Hope University in Liverpool. They are taught a Feminist agenda by someone like Tina Beattie, who recently went to Hope to give a talk on the confusion on sex in the Church because of its celibate pristhood. Feminsts support Gay rights and almost anything with which they can embarrass the Church. So if our teachers do not listen to you do not be surprised. It is time we woke up and asked questions of our Bishops.

Augustinus said...

Given all the dreadfully immmoral things that are happening in this country at the moment, surely even our bishops can see that a call to prayer is needed.

The evil of satan is everywhere and we get no real co-ordinated leadership. It's back to the troups to do what they can.

Veni, sancte Spiritus.

Good comments from John, you're on the ball there - catholic teachers with dodgy formation, but it goes further back than teacher training college. Catholic parents and catholic schools are failing the kids even before they decide to enter the teaching profession.

... and the Bishops?!!*%?>, oh I believe they are all 'out to lunch'.

The programme is on as I write and a member of my family is watching it and finding it amusing. Just merely a minute of the programme was enough to wind me up. I made a remark but it wasn't really what I wanted to say and kind of missed the point really. But what can you do in such situations? If I'd said anything else it would've been obvious that I was feeling emotional about it and then I'd get accused of being reactionary. It wouldn't change anything anyway - the family member concerned is an adult and critical of religion. I think it was best not to say too much on this occasion but I feel so lame in these situations. Any advice anyone?

Fr Tim Finigan said...

Katrina - I often find that the best approach is simply to toss in blandly some salient facts.

For example the statistics on the rise of STIs in the UK tend to be a conversation-stopper in situations like this.

Sex and its education is a private matter.

Sure, filthy communist feminists want to make it public and controlled by the "State" because they abhor private property such as the Church as God is the one thing they can't control.

I wasn't going to comment because this is just so nuts.... but OK.

I believe the British public 2007 is just so 'dumbed down' by years of exposure to brainless secular media crap from rising in the morning and reading 'breakfast time' pulp like The Sun, Sport, Daily Star and other tabloids on the one hand, right through to bedtime watching TV rubbish like Coronation Street, Eastenders, Sex and the City, Footballers Wives, C4 & 5, Sky TV Porn, anything on the BBC etc... that the average Brit just doesn't know which way is up unless the nanny state politicians or some 'celebrity' idiot tell them.

It now takes some goofy celebrity TV presenter to impose her ideas of teenage sexual morality on an already morally bankrupt nation. Just look at her 'credentials', comes from broken marriage, ex hard-drugs addict, second marriage etc...

It just makes you want to laugh out load - because the only other reasonable response is to SCREAM!!!
