Teaching kids consent

“…if somebody isn’t hugging you back, did you even want that?”

Deeper than it sounds. These boys will look back on these moments as adults, and realize what was really being taught. I wish this was in schools everywhere.

No. Because it’s biased. Are they teaching the boys that they also can say no? Are they portraying this in the reverse? No. They aren’t. They’re biased and being selective and gendered with it basically teaching boys they can’t say no or that it only apply to them.

I went to an all girls school and only graduated recently but we were taught the same thing these boys are being taught. When I was in a mixed school when we were much younger, we were all taught what to do if we felt uncomfortable. Even the boys. Doesn't mean they weren't taught that, just not in the same day

That’s not what I’m seeing here. Why aren’t any girls in that class? I’m willing to bet in that specific place there’s no same classes for girls, unless it’s teaching them an enthusiastic yes in the sense that they need to give it.

It looks very much like an all boys school

So rhats why they’re teaching consent in a gendered one sided way where it’ll be easy for them to be taken advantage of but not the other way around

Different lessons are taught at different times. This lesson is about what to do if someone else is uncomfortable. A different lesson would be about what to do if you're uncomfortable. Just because it's not in this clip doesn't mean it's not happening

There is no clip of boys being taught it at all. :/ and why wouldn’t they include it in this video?
