'Dr Morrison wrote: "In a world where we see children as vulnerable and in need of protection Jackson argues that sexuality is in itself viewed as a 'threat to their wellbeing”.
"Hawkes agrees, identifying that 'arguably, it is the attitudes to children and sexuality where tensions and anxieties, as well as the contradictions of modernist sexuality, are most evident”.
"She confirms that the 'construction of children as being both asexual and sexually corruptible, both innocent and dangerously impure' means that 'superficially the response to these doubts and fears was the separation of sexuality from childhood, accomplished through what Foucault has called the pedagogisation of children’s sex' and that finally 'the monitoring and controlling of the distressing presence of sexual nature was to be accomplished through the attentions of medical experts, and more indirectly through legal frameworks which distinguished children as a separate social category'.”
It was also pointed out that Dr Morrison wrote about his wish for schools to overrule the opinions of parents and religious views about sex education.
He said: "Practice in Scotland’s schools still appears to be traditional in approach, with worries about socially conservative views from parents or faith groups overtly influencing content rather than a clear commitment from school-based professionals to meeting obligations explicit in sexual rights or more broadly children’s human rights."'
