Summary: Purchase Of School Films (Press, 12 December 1979)
In a letter published on 12 December 1979, S. R. Latham from Twizel criticises Patricia Bartlett for her attempts to shield the youth from perceived corrupting influences. Latham argues that while hard core pornography is clearly harmful, educational programmes, such as the "Growing Up Series," serve a vital role in informing and inspiring mature discussions on topics related to sex and relationships. Latham contends that effective sex education, whether at home or in schools, must include discussions about potential problems and challenges that can affect young people's lives. He commends the National Film Library for its responsible initiative in providing this informative film series, which he believes helps to dispel ignorance and promote understanding among teenagers.
