The UK edition of The Little Red Schoolbook: A paper tiger reflects
This paper concerns The Little Red Schoolbook, an English translation of the Danish book Den lille røde bog fur skoleelever. After the book's publication in the UK, opponents were successful in pressing for its publisher's prosecution. The ensuing trial led to its withdrawal and its bowdlerisation. It is argued that the work played some part in changing social and sexual mores and sex education practice in the UK, being, in effect, the Urtext of …
‘[An] historic culture … rapidly, universally, and thoroughly restored’? British influence on Irish education since 1922
This piece concerns the relationship between Ireland and the United Kingdom over the course of some 170–180 years from the early/mid‐1800s to the present. It is argued that, despite the expectations of nationalists such as Timothy Corcoran, writing in the immediate aftermath of independence, to whom it seemed both desirable and inevitable that Ireland ‘historic [educational] culture’ would be ‘rapidly, universally, and thoroughly restored’, the t…
‘I hope someone castrates you, you perverted bastard’: Martin Cole's sex education film, Growing Up
This paper concerns the response to the sex education film Growing Up, made in 1971 by Dr Martin Cole, which used a combination of animation and live action to offer a frank and uncompromising account of sexual reproduction. As part of this, both male and female masturbation and an unsimulated act of male–female coitus featured in the film. Cole was widely denounced both by religious conservatives including the members of the Nationwide Festival …
Strangers and sojourners: Who were Miss V and Miss W
This piece concerns a largely forgotten ethnographic experiment conducted under the auspices of the United National Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and its Tensions Affecting International Understanding Project. In the early 1950s, with UNESCO's backing, two young African teachers spent a short time living and working in a small English town. What follows is an attempt to locate them. That is to say, it sets out variousl…
Frequently but naturally: William Michael Duane, Kenneth Charles Barnes and teachers as innovators in sex(uality) education in English adolescent schooling: c. 1945–1965
This piece considers a pivotal period in British social, political, cultural and educational history, the decades from 1945 to 1965. It reviews key policy documents (issued by the Board of Education in 1943 and 1944 and the Department of Education and Science in 1968) which can be said to ‘frame’ the period and proceeds to examine the practices advocated and employed by two progressive teachers, Michael Duane and Kenneth Barnes. It implicates bot…
Michael Duane after Risinghill: Rise and fall of an educational celebrity
In this article an attempt is made to examine the continuing implications of the operation and closure of London’s Risinghill school, a co‐educational comprehensive extant from 1960 to 1965. It is suggested that Risinghill’s controversial headteacher, Michael Duane (1915–1997), was an educational celebrity and folk hero amongst teachers and in British society generally in the late 1960s and 1970s. It is argued that Duane was never able to emerge …
