LESSONS IN DEPRAVITY
Sex education & the sexual revolution
By E.S. Williams
Belmont House Publishing (http://www.belmonthouse.co.uk)
328 pages. £8.00
ISBN 0 52993 95 3

The bulk of this book comprises a painstakingly-detailed account of the sexual seduction of our society over the past two centuries by sexual revolutionaries from Robert Owen (1771-1858) to Gill Frances of the present-day National Children's Bureau.

It is a valuable resource book for specialist readers, tracing not only the key players but also highlighting their tactics - 'values clarification' replacing a Christian moral framework, promotion of adolescent sexual activity as a given norm and the hijacking of terms such as 'family' to promote an overtly anti-marriage agenda. The sacrifice and personal suffering of those who dare oppose the sex education lobby also comes across very powerfully, especially in the chapter on Victoria Gillick.
