One moment they are forcing our children to be sexually active and the abort the consequences next minute they are writing reports about the harm sexually explicit material can do<br /><br />Tory leader David Cameron said earlier this month that he would clamp down on irresponsible advertising targeted at children. <br />He also mooted the idea that parents should be able to complain about offensive marketing tactics used by companies, via a specially set-up website. <br />Such moves were needed to stop children being "bombarded" with inappropriate material, he said. <br />Home Secretary Alan Johnson said: "We know that parents are concerned about the pressures their children are under at a much younger age, which is why we have already committed to a number of the recommendations in this report. <br />So they will limit sexual material being displayed via the media and just hand it out in schools??????<br />This is beyond me!!!<br /><br />http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8537734.stmElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121562422631804938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-22921258606760746992010-02-26T09:12:02.792+00:002010-02-26T09:12:02.792+00:00Arise, Baroness Stannard!

Do we have nominal Catholics or committed Catholics? It's not to do with trads vs trendies. Trendy sex-ed may look very different to the trad sort, but it is not the same as secular sex-ed, by any means.Malcolm McLeanhttp://www.personal.leeds.ac.uk/~bgy1mmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-8316840020394792492010-02-25T14:24:24.735+00:002010-02-25T14:24:24.735+00:00It's so depressing and disheartening.
