The basic stupidity of people in schools!!

Article here:


O.K,  so what happened is the PTA or P&T, basically the parents and teachers group, handed out chocolates moulded into sex positions and reproductive body parts.  Not a bad way to get people interested, but really not the best thing to do at a primary school in front of students. 

The thing that stood out to me as the worst possible outcome of this event and subsequent news article was the comments left by the readers.  Most are telling us to "get over it" and "if that's the worst thing to happen" and of course the comment that makes my head shake the hardest is " The way you handle things, determines how your children handle things." Because simply being cool calm and collected will change the chocolates from sexually explicit variety to something a little more child friendly like the road runner and Willie coyote? 

don't be so F**KING daft people!!!  the problem here is not a small mistake made by a fool in a school in outback nowhere, It is a reminder of how hard it is becoming for parents to protect their kids from inappropriate material. Some of these mis-informed people might laugh and say stupid things like how minor it is, but I am betting they either don't have kids or don't care about how their kids are raised. This article 2 days ago points out already how easy it is for kids to get hold of such inappropriate material. Schools not being vigilant about appropriate fundraiser handouts simply makes it much harder for parents to protect their children.

There is a decent amount of published research that shows the younger children are introduced to sexually explicit material the more dysfunctional that child becomes when maturing. We are not talking about people becoming rapists or criminals, but we are talking about delayed or overdeveloped social sexual behaviours as well as inappropriate sexual behaviours for age. 

I can quite easily argue that the parent is the one responsible for protecting their children, and in the case of the porn on the tablet and phone it is quite simply the parents fault, however when school organisation do this kind of thing, it takes away all control the parent has over censoring what their child experiences. And this is simply not funny, not minor, and in no way something that we parents should just "GET OVER".

To all the fools with less brain cells than a box of chocolates, I am shaking my head at you!!
