Sex Education

Eton College does not do sex education.  At least it wasn't on the official curriculum when David Cameron attended.* That's the conclusion I reached from the statement he made referred to in yesterday's post. He claimed that shooting stags was defensible because it reduced the deer population.

If he had studied the subject to the level even most primary school pupils do today he would be aware that it is the female that produces the young. Reducing the number of stags simply means that remaining stags have more hinds to inseminate, which they'll be quite happy to do. But of course it's a fine thing to tell yourself when you're struggling to justify killing wildlife.

* So bearing all that in mind and one or two minor incidentals we decided to send our children to the local comp.
