New teaching aid that recommends schoolchildren as young as seven ‘write a letter to a terrorist’

The book, Talking About Terrorism, published weeks before the Manchester Arena atrocity, describes the indiscriminate mass murder of innocent members of the public as a “type of war”.It tells primary age children that terrorists kill people because they believe they are being treated “unfairly and not shown respect”. It gives examples of “terrorists” whose ideas then turn out to be right: “The Suffragettes used violence and were called terrorists,,,,” it stated.

“Today many people think of them as brave women and admire their struggle for the right to vote.”

In an activity recommended for pupils aged seven to 11, teachers are urged to “invite children to write a letter to a terrorist. If they could ask a terrorist six questions, what would they be?”The book, published by Brilliant Publications and containing a foreword by Peter Wanless, the chief executive of the NSPCC, has been slammed by critics who say it is potentially dangerous. Chris McGovern, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, said the letter task would confuse and potentially upset pupils.

‘The Suffragettes used violence and were called terrorists’ the book claims

He said: “This a crackpot idea based on the misguided notion that primary school children must engage with, and show “respect” for, religious fanatics who are seeking to kill them.“It is part of the “British Values” agenda that is being forced on schools by Ofsted and the educational establishment. “The primary school classroom is not the place to humanise terrorism by ‘pretend dialogue’.”
In trying to help children “understand” terrorists’ motives, the book invites sympathy for the killers, critics claim.
And by invoking the Suffragettes and Nelson Mandela, it leads children to question whether terrorism might be justifiable, they say.

Savage Abuse a Global Outrage

Global awareness becomes a contemporary trend.

South African rally protests violence against women and children

Protesters, most of them men, have marched through the streets of South Africa’s capital to protest violence against women. Individual cases have attracted international attention.

Under the banner “Not in my name, forward with women and down with women abuse,” hundreds of protesters walked from Church Square in the heart of Pretoria on Saturday.
They were drawing attention to the rising violence against women in South Africa. A woman dressed in white and carrying a suitcase led the march through the streets to Union Buildings. She represented all women who were ever abused or suffered under the cruelty of men, organizers said.

Leading the march was a woman in white symbolizing all those who had experienced violence.

According to official South African figures, a woman is killed by someone she knows every eight hours and one woman in five has been subjected to at least one act of violent aggression in her life.
March participants said not enough was being done to stop the violence.
“The time to take collective responsibility for our shameful action is now,” said Kholofelo Masha, one of the rally’s organizers.
Masha said men had stayed quiet on the issue for too long.
“You hear a lady screaming next door, you decide to sleep when you know there is a problem,” he said. “No man should beat a woman or rape a woman.
“We men are taking a stand today,” Masha said. “Women must know that they can count on us.”

The protest followed an increase in the number of reports of women being raped and murdered

International attention
Individual cases have drawn international attention to domestic violence in South Africa. Reeva Steenkamp was killed by her partner Oscar Pistorius, the Paralympic athlete on Valentine’s Day in 2013.
Last week, President Jacob Zuma visited the parents of a 3-year-old girl who was raped and killed.
“We as the citizens of this country must say enough is enough,” Zuma said. “This is one of the saddest incidents I’ve come across. It’s a crisis in the country, the manner in which women and children are being killed.”
The ruling African National Congress party has called the violence “senseless and barbaric” while the opposition Democratic Alliance party has called for a national debate on the problem, condemning what it called a “failure to make South Africa safe for all.”

Child Exploitors: Master Manulipators

The art of those whose core is evil.

Playing the victim

• They tend to manipulate or abuse others verbally or physically, but then blame the other person (i.e. the real victim) for provoking the abuse.

• They influence or control other people’ sympathy to gain compassion or support.

• They form friendships or intimate relationships with those who disrespect, mistreat or abuse them to convince themselves and the world of their unfortunate status.

• They tend to avoid taking responsibility for their life, instead blaming others for their mistreatment or unfortunate circumstances.

• They think and talk a lot about how others take advantage of their kindness.
