Slate’s guide for parents.
By niels on Sep 28, 2007 in Sexuality
This video by Slate editor Emily Bazelon is a little guide for parents who are wondering how to talk to your kids about sex. I wish they could have found someone a little more comfortable with the topic. Bazelon buys into the distinction between being sexual and being innocent. Hogwash, is all I can say. There is nothing innocent about not knowing about sex. And their is nothing guilty about knowing about sex.
Watch for the moment she talks about the Canadian approach. That delightfully fresh and unproblematic approach is too much for her. Too bad. They are very far ahead of the US in sexuality education. But then again, most Western countries are.
