There is no innocence anymore.
I didn't even know what this was until at least middle teens.
A lost generation -- Lord of the Flies lives!
Clearly what they need is more sex education and especially more homosexual sex education. /sarc
At our town pond this summer, a nine-year-old boy, who was very interested in my daughter, told her, "I have a six-pack! See!" Yeah, so much for innocence.
now the kids - by mandate - will start their indoctrination in Kindergarten =
The public schools are too far gone to be fixed. The only choice is to keep your kids out of them.
The only 'fix' for the gov't schools even remotely possible is to break their financial backs by taking enough kids out -
HOme School, Private schools, Church schools - on line schools - just do it. You do not need permission from ANYONE to take your children out of public school. The SCOTUS, in a 1925 decision - The Pierce Doctrine = so states:
"The fundamental theory of liberty upon which all governments in this Union repose excludes any general power of the state to standardize its children by forcing them to accept instruction from public teachers only. The child is not the mere creature of the state; those who nurture him and direct his destiny have the right, coupled with the high duty, to recognize and prepare him for additional obligations."
It's the parents "high duty"
Same here. I look back now and am so glad I was so naive about sex then. Heck, the sex education I got from my parents, friends, church and the community was "say no!"
And most everybody in the community would back you up when you did. So most girls were not afraid to say no.
