Last but not least: With Tipp-Ex against lewd websites
News from the Valais education sector. For once, the issue isn't about crucifixes, but rather a book that leads students to inappropriate websites. The response from Valais: Prevent the discovery of these links by using Tipp-Ex.
According to Blick, CVP State Councillor Claude Roch has instructed secondary school teachers in Valais to eliminate the links mentioned in the "Schritte ins Leben" teaching aid "using Tipp-Ex or other solid adhesive materials". Sites such as Feelok.ch, Tschau.ch, Lilli.ch and Mysize.ch are a thorn in his side. Sites that educate young people about sex but are probably less prudish than State Councillor Roch and the right-wing citizens' initiative IG Sorgfalt, which incidentally tracked down the links, would like.
Ironically, the very attempt to conceal the links is likely to make pupils even more aware of the websites. What's more, the whole spectacle is completely pointless these days. If the young people are really interested in the websites, they are likely to use Google to jump to the publisher's website or the Blick article, where the links are available. And it's even more likely, which IG Sorgfalt probably didn't expect, that they will come across other, even "worse", "related" websites via Google. And you can't do anything about that with Tipp-Ex.
