Yeah, beastiality, all perfectly fine and normal and an appropriate subject for teenage girls to learn in school.

High school investigating alleged bestiality references in presentation to girls

Year 9 students at Renmark High School allege that references to bestiality were made during a third-party presentation on "respectful relationships" that was not supervised by a teacher.

Many supposedly specialist sex educators know nothing about children, safeguarding or basic common sense. These organisations exist in a weird subculture where extreme acts are normalised, children are treated like small adults and the law has no business meddling in private sexual matters. Not “judging” is mandated even about illegal acts. Why don’t schools vet these organisations properly before hiring them?

And why do schools think an external organisation is required at all? What obscure information do schools think children need to learn that requires an outside specialist? What personal or embarrassing topics are being raised that make a school decide it is inappropriate for a staff member to facilitate (or in this case, attend)?

If the content isn’t appropriate for teachers, why is it appropriate for pupils?

The ironic thing is that, had a parent shown material like this to their own child at home, and it was revealed at school by the child, I suspect social services would be called in tout suite.

Sacred caste indeed.

I agree with a PP about boundaries, but it's not just about personal boundaries, it's societal boundaries about what is acceptable. Since the 60s, there has been a determined effort by (for want of a better term) liberal elites to label anyone who wants boundaries around sexual behaviour as a prude. There are two options: you are either cool, modern and sex-positive, or Mary Whitehouse, with nothing in between. There is no recognition of the importance of sexual boundaries to preventing abuse, and in keeping sex pleasurable for women.

So now we have a world where 16 year old girls feel they have to accept choking and anal sex, and where millions of men feel entitled to watch children being raped online.

There have always been abusers, of course. And the pre-1960s world had some dark prejudices of its own. It's not that I would want to go back to the morality of the 1950s, but we have replaced it with something that, for many women and children, is worse.

Excellent post.

The other news sites I have looked at have no mention of this story at all.
The ABC (our national broadcaster/news service) has it buried such that you have to click through to South Australian news, then through to the regional news to find the story.
Given the capture of the ABC, I’m surprised it covered it at all. Not shocked it is hidden away, though.
