Australian Sex Education Campaign Slammed As "Concerning And Confusing" By Activists

The online programme was designed to teach schoolchildren about consent and sexual assault, but faced backlash for being confusing and inadequate

The Australian government, facing criticism for a sex education campaign that activists branded "concerning and confusing", has removed a 'milkshake' video from the campaign that became the focal point of criticism.  This is the government's new video to educate teenagers on consent... and honestly, I think I actually know less about the issue after watching this. What's going on?Originally reported by @samanthamaidenFull video here -https://t.co/hzxSFGWvKqpic.twitter.com/MflbzhDPZP "If someone pushes the line several times ... you may want to repair the relationship."WHAT is this?! This is worse than anything I ever saw or heard during sex education classes in the '60s & '70s.And of course it's the female who crosses the line with the milkshake, right?Wake up, Australia. Wake. Up. #auspol#EnoughIsEnoughhttps://t.co/Qi1CJOgA2p According to the The Guardian, the online programme was designed to teach schoolchildren about consent and sexual assault. Consisting of about 350 videos, stories and podcasts, the campaign was published on The Good Society website, which is part of the Australian government's Respect Matters programme to "support respectful relationships education in all Australian schools." Rape prevention and sexual education experts raised concerns over the videos in the campaign, saying that they employed confusing metaphors and failed to get the point across.  In one video, a teenaged girl smears milkshake in her boyfriend's face without his permission. In another video about respecting boundaries and choices, a girl is hesitant about swimming with sharks while her boyfriend tries to convince her to do so.
