Oornography like cancer: HPRCSS head
"Pornography is. like a cancer
and we've got. to start somewhere
to stamp it out."
These were chairman Mickey.
Vere's words at Monday night's
meeting of the Huron-Perth
County Roman Catholic School
Board. Mr. Vere was referrineto
a letter, which was sent to all the
boards of education in the
country, from the Periodical
Distributors of Canada.
The letter suggests that the
issue of availability of porno-
graphic material to children
should be left in the hands of the
courts and that the boards should
not interfere. Director of Educa-
tion,„ Bill Eckert said that the
letter is a public relations docu-
ment that is full of contradictions
and accusations.
The availability of pornography
is an issue which has raised much
discussi.ln at recent'• O.S.T.C.
meeting ,;. • The HOron-Perth
Separate School board also
received a memorandum from the
executi \ director of the Ontario
School 1 isice's Council concern-
ing pornography. The
memora iduin says that "As
educators we must be concerned
at the pouring of millions of
dollars into publications for
marketing, which give a distorted
impression of social acceptability •
and normalcy of sexual
deviation" and the availability of
these publications to children.
Trustee Arthur Haid said "It's
not only magazi.nes and written
material but movies and televi-
sion also go uncensored and are
available to children." Haid went
on to say, "There's nothing that
takes a hold of a child's mind like
that T.V. set."
Chairman Vere suggested that
trustees write their local alder-
men, members of the legislature,
and member of parliament. "If
they get enough letters they'll
have to take action on the issue or
we won't put them back
According to Mr. Vere, letters
from organizations which contain
a list of names don't hold any
punch anymore. "We must write
the politicians _ individually
expressing our ,concerns on the
subject."
The matter was referred to the
c.
next meeting of the board to allow and be ready to decide., what is to
the trustees to consider the issue be done. One suggestion, to form
a special committee to deal with
the issue was —forwarded to the
