In a society as sexualized as ours, children need to be able to defend themselves from predators, and in the case of St. Michael’s College School, allegedly from some other students. More and better sex education can only help protect children against the sort of horrors that allegedly took place at St. Michael’s College School, Heather Mallick writes. Though I received emails from good men who had survived victimization in private school or who knew of other cases, I heard from one distressed St. Michael’s mother, and it worried me. She devoted one short sentence to collective sorrow for the “victims” and then launched into a defence of 1,000+ “innocent victims,” who had done nothing wrong but were being mocked and bullied for attending St. Michael’s College School. I hope that boy at St. Michael’s will be wrapped in love and understanding and his alleged tormentors come to understand the horror of their group effort.
