Show 'reality tv' and movies like 'American Sniper' and 'Zero Dark Thirty' in classrooms and engage in critical thought to show how they veer from reality and into propaganda.

but killing is considered entertainment?

This professor may be both a prophet and heretic.

or burned?

Amazing how some people are shocked about depictions of sex but have no problem with gun violence and constant war.

The Psychology and Biology of Human Sexuality at the University of Rochester back in the early 1970's, they showed us porn films in recitation…both "commercial" and "medical research" including, I suppose, Kinsey-esque films of female orgasm, penetration, etc. Wild times…we were floored as students. Sort of a --gulp-- moment in our young lives.

If we are to get control of our sexuality, we must demystify it and become informed about ourselves. And the sooner the better, this notion that children cannot handle the facts is bullshit, what children cannot handle is parents that freak out when the subject comes up.

Within the construct of age appropriateness. Not everything is always clear cut, however it can and should be not all that difficult to figure out.

Which relates to the age issue.

But all of this is much more workable if you can talk about it candidly.

I suppose to a degree the devil is in the details and again allowances must be made for individuals at different stages of being able to grasp what is being presented, but it can be done.

On a different topic, I was having a email exchange with a friend discussing funding one's retirement and household budgets. We were both discussing our amazement in conversations we had through the years with co-workers immersed in their present day worlds, just figured things would take care of themselves and getting to their golden years found out that was not the case.

I believe that our education system needs some serious changes to deal with necessary life skills and both of these need to be opening and throughly discussed along the way as children move through the system.

That ties in, does it not?

I remember in my early 20s being sort of stunned at how little I knew about the predatory US business model and how little the egalitarian and fair economic dogmas I was fed in school were observed in real life.

And parenting, Good Lord, we need to teach people how to be effective, empowering parents.

how are you going to prove that there's a difference?
