Adults aren’t setting a good example

Re: “School boards adapt to sexting” (Gazette, Nov. 22)

It is commendabl­e that school boards are taking positions and creating policies to combat bad behaviour associated with sexting.

Unfortunat­ely, though, it is an uphill battle to educate our youth when they are surrounded by a world of adults preoccupie­d with sex. Consider the images of hyper-sexual rock singers, magazines featuring the “sexiest man/woman alive,” and Hollywood with its latest trend of celebritie­s parading the red carpet with the most revealing clothing. With this constant barrage, no wonder our children are confused about right and wrong.
