Well, part of Marxism the sexualisation of children as early as possible. It is part of the drive to "destroy bourgeois concepts of morality and family".

Would you please document sources for your assertion?

Marx himself stated in many of his writings that the proletarian revolution must include the destruction of all "bourgeois morality." In both the Economic and Philosophic Manuscript of 1844 and the Communist Manifesto he made attacks on what is considered traditional moral values. Engels and others went further.

... Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God. - John 3:19-21

St. John kept it simple. I always enjoyed the way that he cut to the heart of an issue.

"So just what, in this age of Internet filters and parental-consent for X-rated video games and rental movies, is so "censoring" about that? What about that makes her a Nazi or a "Christian extremist"? The vile things she's been called by the vile people who want easy access to vile material for children is very easy to understand.
What's not so easy to understand is how the vile people have gotten so far along with their agenda in America. Prayers up to this wonderful lady and mother who has the courage to face up to the vile people of the world.

I believe you. I am a homeschool mom and I quit using the public library years ago when we found a book in the juvenile section about witches and it showed them in all sorts of sexual positions and how to cast spells and things that I am ashamed to say. I put it down after 3 pages and came home and washed my hands. We do have a large number of people out there who do worship satan. We do not like to think so. Our governments and all arenas have been infiltrated with them . We never use the library.There are also a large amount of lesbians there. We call it the withch house.

....What we really are talking about here is sheer common sense.....
Actually we are talking about indoctrination. The educator's establishment is first about themselves, then indoctrination, then education.
The teachers must be turned over. Existing teachers out on the street, new ones with education degrees in.
Education degrees are plastic licenses to tap the public till.

Catholic, my group is attempting to get public libraries to comply with existing law. We expose all kinds of things about libraries. We expose outrageous statements by library leaders. But I can say that so long as you review each book to be read by the child, remain with your child 100% of the time, even in the bathrooms, go during peak hours -- not late at night around closing time, and stay away from the Internet computers and printers, there is an almost 100% chance that you can appropriately protect your own child in your own way while still enjoying your public library.
And not all libraries are so bad as you say. Look around and find ones that are interested in protecting children instead of protecting the ALA. There are some, and my group congratulates them when we find out about them.
Basically, look at your library's policies. If they follow the ALA Library Bill of Rights, then you better raise your deflector shields really high around your children. If, on the other hand, all computers are filtered, adult and children, and all filters are used in accordance with the law, not automatically disabled in accordance with the ALA's efforts to defy the law, then you can lower your defense shields somewhat.
I see you are unusually protective of your child. That's fine. But if you maintain your unusual protectiveness in a public library that complies with the law or that filters all computers even if they do not have to comply with the law, you and your child should still be able to benefit from the public library experience.
Honestly, even in the very worst libraries, bad things happening to children are relatively rare, but they happen often enough that people had to make a law and the US Supreme Court had to decide a case to protect children in public libraries. Just go to a library like I described and keep your eagle eye open for anything and you should be relatively okay.
Go ahead, go back into a public library with your child and see if I am right. Let us all know here what you found out.

Bert, You said " Actually we are talking about indoctrination. " I cannot think of any other reason why people would want children to have unlimited access to hardcore pornography, even where the US Supreme Court says children should be protected from same.

AFA Law Center to Help Fayetteville Parents' Fight School Library Porn
By Jim Brown
November 23, 2005
(AgapePress) - A pro-family law firm is getting ready to sue the Fayetteville (Arkansas) School Board over pornographic books in the district's school libraries. A group of local parents is asking that children's access to several sexually explicit books in the city's elementary and middle school libraries be restricted, but the school board claims such a move would constitute censorship.
The concerned parents are being represented by the
American Family Association Center for Law & Policy. AFA Law Center Chief Counsel Steve Crampton is preparing a lawsuit against the Fayetteville School Board and Superintendent Bobby New -- a legal action that seeks to get the sexually graphic books placed in a limited access area where parental consent is required.
Superintendent New and the school board recently gave the green light to Fayetteville students who wish to check out the explicit school library books. The books have been under review due to their promotion of homosexuality and depictions of teenage sex; but despite pro-family outcries, the school has not responded to the concerns and state and local officials have done little to intervene.
Arkansas Attorney General Mike Beebe recently stated that the legality of the school district's decision to circulate the sexually explicit materials is a matter best left "for a court or properly instructed jury" to decide. Hence, the concerned Fayetteville parents decided to seek legal help in forcing the school to protect young children from being carelessly exposed to what the plaintiffs regard as pornographic material.

"It seems to me imminently reasonable," Crampton says, "not to mention lawful under our system, where parents really are the overseers and the natural guardians of their children. What the school has done in this case is just buffalo the rights of parents."
Certain Fayetteville School Board members, fearing they may be seen as puritanical, are willing to violate their own consciences and vote in favor of "absurd liberal policies," the AFA Law Center attorney contends. He believes the school officials have chosen to cave in to threats from anti-censorship groups rather than address the concerns of his clients -- local mothers and fathers.
"All they're asking for is that some reasonable controls be placed on access to these explicit materials," Crampton points out. "That's the same sort of thing that we do in bookstores all over the country. Why those rules should go out the window just because you're in a public school where the law requires that our kids attend is beyond me."
It is indefensible, Crampton adds, for the Fayetteville school officials to deny the parents' request to limit children's access to the sexually explicit library books. The lawsuit the AFA Law Center is preparing on behalf of his clients will seek to compel the school board to acknowledge its obligation not only to protect children but to respond to the parents' concerns about the inappropriate materials.

By the way,
Judith Krug, the top ALA person for ensuring p**nography remains available to children in public libraries and children remain available to adults viewing p**nography on Internet computers in public libraries, said in 1997, Citizen magazine, and I'm quoting now,
"Parents who care give their children Playboy." For more about
