Australian school at centre of child-sex allegations pulls newsletter mentioning "Penthouse" as recommended reading

Click here for the full story.

The school at the center of child-sex allegations, St Stanislaus College in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia has removed a newsletter recommending Penthouse magazine as recommended reading for teenage boys. On the schools website, the newsletter has been replaced by a copy which omits these comments.

In the same newsletter, principal of the college John Edwards informs the school community that The Daily Telegraph had contacted him regarding sex abuse allegations.

The controversial comments were made by Ian MacDougall, a HSIE teacher. When asked what book he recommends every teenage boy read, he responded "Besides 'PeCENSOREDse' - any book that stirs the imagination/concious".

A parent who does not wish to be named told Wikinews she took the comment to mean Penthouse magazine.

It is disgusting that this abuse has occured to certain students at this school but what makes it worse is that the current students and teachers who have nothing to do with the past wrong doings of pedophile priests are now being unjustly put up for slaughter.
Publicly naming innocent teachers only makes it harder for those students currently attending an extremely good school.
I wish people would think about that before they post information that can potentially damage the lives of innocent individuals.

The paedophiles should be the first target, then the catholic church for their involvement in the cover up but never those individuals whose only crime was that they happened to attend or teach at the school that these criminals chose for their sick perverse acts!

I had considered this when I wrote the article, but to be brutally honest if a teacher wants to make comments like that in a school newsletter then he should stand behind what he says. It is inappropriate (and possibly illegal as Penthouse is rated R18+) for any school to recommend students read pornographic material even if it was made in good humour. The uproar throughout the community only serves to demonstrate this.

Something that must be commended is the school's current principal - he is very receptive, friendly and open about the whole thing.
