    This is fantastic, another great Beaverton article.

    1. Learning about ways to prevent being sexually assaulted (Saskatchewan)

    Parents can still arrange for their children to take these sexual education courses privately, so it’s only the vulnerable, less protected children who will be left without the knowledge!

      Do people really need a paid, formal education to protect themselves from sexual assault?

      In my experience, the victims of sexual assault tend to put their trust in the wrong people. It would be better to raise children to pick their friends more wisely.

        “It’s the victim’s fault for putting themselves in the wrong situations, and dressing like that”

        What on earth do you think those lessons are for? It almost certainly covers spotting signs from people you trust that might lead to abuse, and protecting yourself by removing yourself from the situation if you can.

          So… it’s only for a specific group of people who don’t have parents to teach them right from wrong?

        This sentence is more horrifying the longer I look at it.

            So when a 5 year old girl is raped by her father, when should we have taught her to look out for that?

              WTF? Clearly I wasn’t referring to those cases. Did you honestly think I was? Or are you pretending to misunderstand an argument because you don’t like it? Fess up.

              It would be better to raise children to pick their friends more wisely.

              Just cherrypicking what you want to hear, eh? It’s okay. I see it all the time and don’t expect more from you people at this point.

              Goodbye.

                and don’t expect more from you people at this point.

                Who are ‘you people’ in this scenario? People saying don’t victim blame people who were sexually assault?
