Kim Kardashian will be condemned as "everything that is wrong with Western society" in a speech given to the Institute of Development Professionals in Education (IDPE) this week.
ITN reports that headmistress Dr Helen Wright, who appeared on GMTV in 2010 after she returned to work in the classroom just ten hours after giving birth, will say that young people are been given the wrong message by stars such as the reality TV siren, who shot into the public eye with a sex tape scandal.
Apparently her speech reads: "I have spoken out a lot over the past two years about the increasing dangers of the premature sexualisation of young people, and the objectification of women which accompanies this. And this is what our young people see around them all the time: online, in magazines, on TV.
"It is not too strong a statement, I venture to suggest, to say that almost everything that is wrong with Western society today can be summed up in that one symbolic photo of Miss Kim Kardashian on the front of Zoo magazine.
"The descent of Western civilisation can practically be read into every curve (of which, you will note, there are indeed many). Officially the hottest woman in the world? Really? Is this what we want our young people to aim for? Is this what success should mean to them?"
Wright acknowledges that Kardashian may have worked hard to be where she is, but argues that that particular fact is hidden by "glitz and sparkle".
She continues: "What is she telling our young people about life? As a society, we have clearly attached a value to her, and there may be some messages about hard work buried in there somewhere - I expect she has to slave in the gym to keep that posterior in shape - but these are very hidden messages, buried under the other messages surrounded by glitz and sparkle.
"Messages about physical appearance being more important than character or substance, for instance, or messages about financial rewards coming with meanness, scandal and boundary-less living."
What do you think? Is she right?
