"I'm just wondering who started this whole thing and how it reached Megan in her Catholic school," Michelle Stecher said. "I mean, I told her about the birds and the bees, but this is too much.

"I want the school to know what's going on with the kids and put a stop to it."

I would start by maybe..........disciplining your daughter!!! The mom is so outraged, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out the little girl sits in front of MTV all afternoon without objection of her mother!

Oprah covered this with girls who were "into it". They were positively glowing about all the action.

think the RAT vote will not be affected by parents that have no safe place for thier kids? Soon parents will get the message that a little sex, a little evil is a way to open the door to lots of sex and lots of evil. gay marriage, Britney who was once so pure and dozens of other icons that have fallen from the pedistal. Start with a former prez too.

Not a long slope to 9-11. Evil is subtle until it takes control. Anyone doubt that the reason the hijackers spent time in topless bars was that evil not a radical imman was at the core of their actions.

She looks a little defiant in that photo, doesn't she?

No mention of what her father thinks of all of this.

Pretty much an urban legend.

Atrophied morals in the youth Ping!

(Don't worry, this is the last one LOL, but I have to wonder how hard it would be to strip, if when a guy takes off the top of a pop bottle without breaking the seal 'has' to be rewarded with a sex favor?). This was what I was touching on on the other thread. With atrophied morals come imprudent decisions. And compared to some of the things they are doing in high school, stripping in college seems like a walk in the park. A steal.

I've seen girls wearing their bracelets like this but had no idea what it stood for. This is outrageous, elementary age children shouldn't even know about a lot of these things yet.

Parents would certainly not instinctually know what these bracelets mean. They look like pony tail holders. There wouldn't be any reason to assume those tacky little bracelets and things were anything but a odd pre-teen fashion trend... Kids do stuff like this, and the whole point is that their parents won't get it.

Now that the parents ~do~ get it, they'll switch to something else all the parents won't get, especially the parents that think their kid would ~never~.

Hey, but we'd better not let them see the Berg beheading.

And yet these are probably the same people that devour coverage of Abu Ghraib and wonder how such "horrible" acts could happen...

What do you expect from our culture?

[SpinyNorman]

It might stop when the stupid feminazis notice that only the girls seem to be wearing them!

Kind of a kinky sex slavery if you ask me.

Every generation has these fads.

Do the Men remember: In the Early 80's we wore safetypins laced with beads on our shoelaces ... they were given to us by the girls in school.

I also remember pulling the fip-tabs off the top of pop cans as to not break 'em. They were indended to get a piece ... the next generation will think of something else ...

"I'm just wondering who started this whole thing"

[montag813]

Megan Stecher, 11, a fifth-grader who sells the $1 bracelets to her classmates at Holy Child Jesus School in Richmond Hill, Queens, for $1.25 said her teachers are not aware of what they symbolize

Megan Stecher must be expelled from this school today.

[montag813]

Megan's mom wonders where this all started and how the kids got so educated about sex.

HINT...

[RightWhale]

Do they have one for doing your math homework?

"I'm just wondering who started this whole thing and how it reached Megan in her Catholic school," Michelle Stecher said. "I mean, I told her about the birds and the bees, but this is too much.

Esclavo makes an excellent point! Most parents have filled their kids' rooms with all the 'tools' they need to succeed in school - computer with internet access, large screen television, etc. And when parents discipline their kids where do they send them? To their room, of course!

Also, it is a well known fact that Catholic schools take in the kids who are tossed out of the public schools.

Catholic Ping - let me know if you want on/off this list

Sex at ELEVEN? And no doubt she wasn't the youngest! At 11, my primary interests were bicycles, swimming, fishing, and playing with my friends.
