Rape Tag at New Ulm School Shocks Parents
MyFox Twin Cities ^ | 01 Feb 2012

NEW ULM, Minn. - A few weeks ago, rape tag was a game no school official or parent in New Ulm, Minn. had ever heard of. After some swift action, it’s game they don’t expect to see elementary school students playing again.

Last month, a parent alerted Washington Elementary principal Bill Sprung to the game being played by a handful of fifth grade students. Sprung told KEYC-TV in Mankato he took swift action to put an end to the game, alerting recess supervisors and having teachers speak to their students.

The school said rape tag is game similar to freeze tag, but players use a hip thrust to unfreeze a tagged player.

Washington Elementary administrators were comfortable they had the situation under control, but after seeing distorted versions of what was happening at the school being posted on Facebook, they decided to send an explanatory letter to parents.

Administrators and recess supervisors say they haven’t seen any rape tag at Washington Elementary since they’ve taken action, and hope students have learned a lesson on what behavior is and isn’t appropriate.

Apperently the didn't see it before they had taken action, or else they just thought it was all in good fun.

Amazing on two counts: it is a disgusting game and a surprise the school lets the kids play tag at all.

As bad as it may seem to you right now, at the rate things are going, in 5 years it will be much worse and this will seem tame by comparison.

I won’t speculate but let you use your own imagination.

The psy-ops program targetted against our children (aka “education”) continues.

This is what happens when you put “Sex Ed” in elementary schools. You never sexualize children-—that is what ‘Sex Ed” does and puts emphasis on that issue when they naturally go into the latency period (Freud)-—where they are curious about everything else but sex. (unless sexually abused).

Warp this natural formation of sexual identity, where children prefer playing with members of their own sex most-—you create perverted children who have no reverence for the “sex act” (what the cultural Marxists want)-—a removal of Right and Wrong-—a removal of the moral aspect of the sex act-—makes kids just another animal with no reason to even control base instincts-—although they should have no interest in the sex act in elementary school unless sexually abused or conditioned into thinking sex is natural at this age——Kids conform—they do not like to be “different” from the norm.

Sex Ed is telling them it is normal and ‘Good” to have sex, masturbate, anal sex, and do very mentally disturbing acts in elementary school which only occurs in unnatural-—artificial environments, where there is no dignity and respect given to the human body.

This destroys respect and awe in the sex act-—reduces it to just another thing to do for fun.

They kick out morality and God-—Kill God—is what the Progressives/Marxists are after-—destroy children’s moral development with sex (easiest way) and you destroy all future relationships and respect for the opposite sex. Makes homosexuality possible also since it makes elementary boys think they prefer the same sex——because they are supposed to at that age for normal sexual identity formation-—and then they can properly mature—when they become interested in the opposite sex.

No Sex Ed in schools until high school. It destroys the moral character—and the sexual identity formation of children. Virtue is essential in forming character-—the schools are intentionally destroying Virtue-—so they can reform man to barney frank’ image.

That was my first thought. The schools teach children about sex and then punish them severely when they try to practice their lessons. If sex wasn't confusing enough, the unpredictable behavior of the adults must really screw them up.

I agree with everything you said until that point. Sex Ed should be up to the parents, not schools. Perhaps the biological aspects of reproduction could be covered in high school, but the moral aspects should be taught by parents. I know that not all parents are good teachers, and that they don't all agree on what is "right" or "wrong", but I still think that it is their responsibility.

Children are too immature to understand the sex act. It confuses their reality and puts emphasis on their sex organs. It is a very unnatural to have this invasion of privacy to the intimate aspect of human beings which demands privacy and respect and dignity.

Teaching Sex Ed was developed by the Cultural Marxists. It is well researched. The elite progressive/marxists know this curricula will corrupt the morality of young children because of their immaturity and it is “stranger” teaching group sex ed with mixed classes. It removes respect and dignity from sex and reduces it to a non important animal activity.

Destroys virtue and character and respect-—not only of the opposite sex, but of parents. Marxism is to divide and teach disrespect to all groups so you never trust anyone.

Chambers in “Witness” talks about ex-KGB life-—Marxism forces you to have no trust of anyone—anywhere—not of children or parents or neighbors -—etc. It is a life of FEAR. They destroy all tradition—all virtue-—to destroy loyalty and love of one another.

Bull.

There was a girl in 5th grade and I couldn’t keep my eyes off her crotch. I knew what I wanted.

And no, there was no sex-ed back then and I wasn’t abused.

Freud was largely a fraud.

That is what I am talking about. Biology should be the only class that talks of sex and it should be science. Actually, I think there should be no public schools and all education should be tightly controlled by parents.

Morality should also be taught in schools—not sex—it has always been the most important aspect of teaching since Plato and until John Dewey removed morality from education by kicking out the God=drenched McGuffey Readers and replacing it with Go Spot Go.

All kids have to understand until right before puberty is that their bodies are the Temple of God and as such you always respect it and treat all people with dignity—no name calling and belittling of any other person. Sex is private and not discussed with young children in any group situation.

That is all they need to know-—except what parents teach them about their bodily functions as they mature. Parents should be the teachers and sex should be treated as a private, intimate act which can NEVER be removed from morality-—which all sex ed classes do. Even Freud said-—you can never take restraint off of the sex act-—you will have chaos.

Schools have never taught “Sex Ed” in the US (except in Biology class) until the 70’s. With it-—sex with children skyrocketed—with abortion, pregnancies of children, etc. This is the result of Sex Ed in schools along with the encouragement and dysfunctional examples allowed on TV when they removed morality control in the late 60’s.

The courts in the 50’s removed obscenity laws and the Hefner/Kinsey culture was pushed in all colleges and Foundations and publishing companies as Classical books were pushed out-—they taught Duty, Justice, Virtue and Courage. Can’t have those ideas put into the heads of our young kids-—we fill them with ideas of instant gratification so they will make perfect slaves of the state.

“Marxism is to divide and teach disrespect to all groups so you never trust anyone.”

Very interesting post - thanks! I have been learning about adolescence in hopes of being a better parent. The research shows that those troubled years are MUCH longer than when I was a kid. Based mainly about “figuring out who you are”.

I think you have hit upon another big reason for it - as hard as we try to instill our love for them, our values, etc. - they are bombarded with conflicting values. And yes - part of that is intentional.

That is my point. You illustrate it. There needs to be NO encouragement to human beings to have sex. There never needed to be “sex ed”—so why in the 70’s was it installed by Cultural Marxists?

Encouragement-—by putting more focus on it—makes it more likely and normalized—so controls are removed and given the ok by teachers. You should have felt guilty for such abnormal behavior—obsessions are usually abnormal. Don’t know what your parents did to you when you were potty trained.

Freud was a genius—some things were incorrect—yes, but in psychoanalysis, he has given us incredible insight to the mind. All scientists have weak areas—as he did, but he has also been hugely misinterpreted. He was brilliant.

It is a myriad of reasons with the pop culture teaching and glorifying dysfunctional behavior 24/7. It is almost impossible to get away from its corrosive influence.

John Stuart Mill—On Liberty—talks about the Leviathan of government control of schools which will only want to create non-thinking slaves and he is correct.

You are also correct. Schools up until the 50’s always taught the Judeo/Christian values in most of their schools. That was the values taught in all homes.

Now schools intentionally target the “fixed values” of children (BK Eakman—The Cloning of the American Mind) with curricula immersed in BK Skinner’s behaviorism which removes moral absolutes (Christian Ethics).

This creates cognitive dissonance in children—they are taught two different Worldviews-—Atheism in schools and Christianity at home. What usually happens—is kids want to conform to their peers and the Pop Culture—to be liked and popular and not rejected-—and it makes them reject the worldview of their parents. Children can not hold two opposite views. One is rejected.

Public schools today are forcing kids to be Marxist/atheist/secular humanists and if they “think outside the box” they are laughed at-—humiliated in subtle ways to “change” their worldview. Kids are intentionally classified and targeted with “strands” which “fix” their thinking-—so they graduate and will believe lies-—like sodomy is good. It flips Christian Ethics on its head-—which is the purpose of Marxism is to “kill God” and become the gods.

Peer pressure is crucial. I always made sure my kids spent time with the kids whom parents thought exactly like me. It helps guard against this intense seduction into moral relativism. They also went to Catholic schools but even they have been infiltrated to a certain extent since lay people make up most of the faculty now.
