This is a conversation between Ralph Allison and Charity, a Professor CIE.

Ralph: And they can see a blur if it is something that isn't of interest to them.

Charity: Maybe they will not see it. Maybe they will see another thing.

Ralph: We were taught about that in Sex Education, when we were trying to teach that in school, and the doctor was giving a talk said, "It is the adults; the kids cant comprehend what it is all about."

Charity: That's right.

Ralph: So how can they get upset? They don't know what you are talking about.

Charity: That]s correct.

Ralph: No one is paying attention to them, of course. The adults are upset and they think they can't get the kids upset. We must protect them, control their environment. When you talk like that about these issues, then we are accused of going backwards into ancient history when we weren't doing these wonderful things for these children, and that's bad, to regress back to those days of dirt and guilt and sin and all those things. They were awful, because we are now much better. That is the kind of thinking. To propound something like this, that was only good when they lived in caves. As if anybody before twenty years ago was totally stupid, ignorant and evil. That is the current attitude these days.
