Better efforts made by animals

THE EDITOR: I want to commend Ms Jacqueline Allamani for the comprehensive way she presented her facts about sex education in schools. She showed how risky it is due to the fact that the most perverted people are chosen to mould the minds of infants and adolescents in that area!

Now I want to add to her arguments. Although animals live by instinct, they seem to make a better effort to protect their young. This is in light of some revelation that human parents, though not all, are grooming their girl children into promiscuity with mothers being more guilty! Female calypsonian Denyse Plummer touched on this sore point when she related a conversation between a mother and daughter concerning a maxi taxi operator part, of which the mother asked “How much money he give yuh?” This is against the truth that women do not understand why men who are in their twilight go after not only adolescents but also little girls! The answer may lie in the stage of experiencing second childhood and that is a regressive mental step indeed!

Little boys are not immune and the perpetrators are now facing a worldwide backlash with the latest casualty being the Governor-General of Australia. Thankfully, there are laws against carnal knowledge and abortion and any attempts to repeal them on grounds of being outdated will only serve to make the present situation worse. May I repeat the definition and purpose of morality as stated by psychologist Anna Maria Mora? Morality does not only deal with right and wrong. It is the means by which order is maintained so that children would not become misfits in society.
