In education, the ugliness of leftism is oozing out all over the place
American Thinker ^ | 24 May, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

The latest example is “porn literacy” education at a pricey New York City private high school – and parents aren’t happy.

Humans have two biological imperatives: eating and procreating. Veganism isn’t sexy but sex is…sexy. That’s why leftists constantly impose sex on kids. It makes kids associate leftism with pleasure and the abandonment of sovereignty over one’s body. The latest example comes from yet another pricey private school in Manhattan, this one teaching juniors “porn literacy.”

In 2010, when I was still publishing as Bookworm, I wrote a post called “Sex and State Power.” I argued that leftists thrust sexuality on children because it decouples children from ownership over their bodies, making them more amenable to outside control:

Those of us who came of age before the 1980s, when the Judeo-Christian, Western tradition, though battered, was still ascendant, view our sexuality as a private matter. We believe that our bodies are our own property, which means that we should not be touched or controlled sexually without our consent. A person raised with this worldview inevitably believes as well that his ability to control his body is the essence of his individuality. This physical individuality is the antithesis of slavery, which represents a person's ultimate lack of control over his body.

Statist regimes, of course, cannot tolerate self-ownership, which is the natural enemy of government control over the individual.

This is the symptom, the disease is that the state does think they own you.

Why do we let degenerate twinks, urban skinny-necked dweebs and low IQ ghetto hordes rule over us?

It is not them who rule us. It is the Media, the education establishment, the government bureaucracies.

Most of them have the same philosophy, which is hatred of freedom, love of government power, and a desire for American decline and Global government.

To think that the lack of education reform has gone on for many decades is a pox on the GOP.

Good article. I’ve said all along that teachers’ unions are the real obstacle in truly educating America’s youth. I’ve been working hard on Newsom’s recall, but the reality is even if the recall succeeds the teachers’ unions will still be there, preventing a return to in-person instruction and forcing leftism down our throats.
