Sex education for parents too
LA Times ^ | 02.13.06 | Randy Hoder

Posted on 02/25/2006 12:49:39 PM PST by Coleus

I WAS HANGING around this week at my son's elementary school, chatting with a group of parents as we waited to take our second- and third-graders on a field trip. Suddenly, one mom raced toward me and, nearly breathless, said, "You have to tell me about Glove Affair."

"What's Glove Affair?" another mom asked.

"It's a condom party for teenagers," the first mom replied before I could say a word.

Suddenly all eyes were on me, eager for an explanation of how I could possibly allow my 13-year-old daughter, Emma, to attend such an event.

The truth is, when Emma arrived home the previous Saturday night clutching a goody bag from Glove Affair, my liberal credentials were instantly tested. One by one I pulled the following from her white plastic sack: a condom; pamphlets on masturbation, oral sex and intercourse; the "Rubber Bible," featuring alternative names for prophylactics, such as "gent tent" and "peenie beanie"; and an information wheel labeled "Condom Comebacks," which included a list of excuses boys might make for not wearing a condom and possible rejoinders a girl could offer.

Him: "It doesn't feel good."

Her: "I've got moves rubbers can't stop."

I tried to play it cool. As it turned out, I was a little too cool. While standing in the kitchen with my daughter and her friend, getting all the post-party gossip, I absentmindedly reached into the bag and handed my 8-year-old son a squishy red toy that resembled one of those ubiquitous M&M candy guys.

The girls burst out laughing. "What's so funny?" I asked. They snatched the trinket from my son and turned it upside down. Printed there was the web address stopthesores.org. This was no candy icon; it was a toy syphilis lesion, bright red, with feet.

So what are you going to say when your daughter asks you if she can attend a "rainbow party"?

I hope you yank your daughter out of school FAST! Schools DO NOT have any business teaching this stuff.

...fundraiser for L.A. AIDS-prevention groups.**

which is a fundraiser for the homosexual movement.

They know they have to sexually corrupt the next generation in order to "win" special rights for those who engage in "alternative" sexual behaviors. Follower liberals would turn their kids over to be prostitutes if they thought it would advance the cause of power and dominance.

Just one more reason to homeschool.

This Aticle is a load of crap start to finish

This is no more than a PR fluff piece.

This is an article on glove Parties that was ptiched to an editor and the editor said write it from the most sensitive POV Write 1st person as the mother of a 13 year old. Write this as a mom who has a daughter on the edge of puberty. Write it as a mom uncomfortable with this even being a influential person in the media. Write this piece that you have discovered that your daughter on the verge of puberty is so much more mature than you

The dead giveaway is the last few paragraphs where this "Mom" completely steps out of character and then proceeds to spout planned parenthood and Feminist dogma concerning children and "Safe Sex"

Further notice that mom is "Uncomfortable" and the daughter's assurance that no kid could go to this school sacntioned condom party UNLESS THEY FIRST ATTENDED CLASSES where they did all these things first -- pushing the age from a thrirteen year old to 12 or 11 year old to which "Mom" at this revelation does not blink or twitch.

So with this revelation "Mom" is not mollified with her 13 year old attanding this school sanctioned condom party/ dance -- so they can meet guys to share what they learn with. This is a mixer, this is a druge ed program handing out crack pipes and showing how to select good crack and then haveing your daughters and sons with the dealers.

Now elsewhere we have an article of a Teacher having sex with an eleven year old, elsewhere we have had probably 100 articles over the last year or so with teachres having sex with students.

I'm going to say that his has not been the norm. I'm going to say that this phenomenom is realtively new in public schools -- s what is the difference is that these teachers in teaching and talking about sex are themselves titlated and turned on by the talk -- as are some of their students. And in this unnatural sex charged atmosphere you have a certain percentage of teachers crossing the line whereas if these programs were not in place these things would largely disappear.

I am simply saying that the teachers are not prepared to to what they are called to do -- that is to teach children to sexually corrupt themselves -- and then they are in turn being drawn in themselves.

This particular event is isolated to Los Angeles. The "Glove Affair" is held at Oakwood School in North Hollywood and seems open to other L.A. school students. Apparently, 7th graders can't attend until they've been through the sex education course at school.

One imagines such "condom parties" or similar events are held in other communities.

I don't understand the context of your comment - you didn't see VD in medical school? (PhD in what?)

thank you.

I depend on others in FR like you to be able to see into the liberal haze and show me what I by myself would not see, that's the strength of this group.

The dead give away is that she spells her name "Randye" and "is a writer in LA".

Just being ironic. I don't relate to this gross sex ed, at all.

These parents need to start trusting their own instincts. Trust the queasies.

A parent should NEVER cede what they believe is best for their own children to "the people who know more than I."

ESPECIALLY when it comes to things of a sexual and moral nature.

I'd say "unbelievable", but because it isn't, I can't. This would be one of the million reasons I am going to homeschool.

I consistently amaze the kids I teach that I remember a day - about 40 years ago, when I was a child - when a boy getting a girl pregnant meant that he would have to marry the girl, and a girl who got pregnant meant that she would now be a mom and that the teen years are now over. I mention the fact that the men were obligated to care for and support their wives and children, and women were obligated to spent their time making sure that their babies grew up well. (Certainly, there were loads of exceptions, but this was the value system, undeniably, of my youth where I grew up.)

Here's the interesting part: these ideas resonate in my students. The girls, especially, are especially wishful that they could find a man with that kind of devotion to them and their children. The boys seem sad in their knowledge that those kinds of expectations have now almost completely vanished from their lives, leaving them with mere sexuality in their relations with girls. When we read the old stories - such as "Beowulf," which we're reading now, or "Odysseus" - the boys aspire to the kind of honor and integrity expressed by those heroes, and the girls like their men to be that way.

Reducing relationships to mere sex will leave these children, as it left many people of my era, empty and agitated. Just as arrogance is self-esteem in the absence of ethics and virtue, decadence is sex in the absence of commitment and honor.

My belief is that the Glove Party, like the Roman orgy before it, will pass away, but not before there are many, many innocent victims.

Now that we live much longer, when is evolution going to kick in and either move puberty up to 21 or mature teenagers' brains earlier so they understand the responsibility that goes along with sex.

If this doesn't happen in the next ten years, I am going to dig up Darwin and slap his smirking little face.
