Outcry over textbook rape scenario

[schumi]

Durban - Life orientation teachers are being asked not to teach a page from a Grade 10 textbook that asks pupils how a rape victim’s behaviour led to “sexual intercourse”.

The question has been widely criticised for “reducing rape to sexual intercourse” and encouraging victim-blaming.
Education spokesman Elijah Mhlanga said on Thursday that the department would advise its teachers to exclude the material when teaching and that future editions would not have that material.

On Monday, Yonela Pales Moopelwa posted a photograph of the page, which was from a Grade 10 Focus Life Orientation textbook, on Facebook and it was shared several hundred times.

Ferguson also took issue with the second question. “By asking what Angie should do and assigning marks to the question, the text was implying there is a right’ way to respond to sexual assault. We shouldn’t be prescriptive about what rape victims should do after assault, that’s their choice entirely.”

Wtf, what do you mean there isn't a right way?
