ABSTRACT
What on earth is A-level politics, let alone Year 8 citizenship, supposed to make of the great Lib-Dem sex uproar? On the principle of ‘show, don’t tell’, the recent exposure of Mark Oaten and his liaisons with a male prostitute, followed sharply by the outing of Simon Hughes, seem unlikely to ease any juvenile confusion. They certainly won’t help stem the tide of homophobic bullying or ease the miseries of gay teachers reported in last week’s TES.
