OSLO, Norway, October 17, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – An Oslo pre-school teacher, backed by child psychologists, has suggested that kindergarten children be encouraged to “express” their sexuality through “sex-play” and games, including dancing naked and masturbating, in pre-school and day-care centres.
The English language edition of Norway’s Aftenposten newspaper reports that Pia Friis, the respected operator of an Oslo kindergarten, told an interviewer that children should be able “to look at each other and examine each other's bodies. They can play doctor, play mother and father, dance naked and masturbate”.
“But their sexuality must also be socialized, so they are not, for example, allowed to masturbate while sitting and eating. Nor can they be allowed to pressure other children into doing things they don't want to,” Friis said.
Friis also faulted some staff of day-care centres and kindergartens who, she said, might react negatively to children expressing their sexuality. “When the personnel are uncertain, that passes on to the children, and it can be negative.”
Friis’ opinion was backed up by Norwegian child psychologist Thore Langfeldt, who said, “Children must learn about sexuality, otherwise things can go very wrong.”
“Children can't object to something they don't know about, and children can more easily and readily report assaults if they already are aware of their own sexuality.”
In the US earlier this year, a report published by the American Psychological Association (APA) warned against the early sexualizing of young girls, especially through media and marketing. The APA task force found that teachers and parents are among the influences in the over-sexualization of children and that girls often end by seeing themselves as sexual objects. The results can include increased risks of depression, eating disorders and low self-esteem.
Joseph D’Agostino of the Population Research Institute (PRI) wrote that the APA report did not go far enough in exploring the effects of radical feminism on teaching children to see themselves sexually. In a PRI weekly briefing, he wrote, “The politically correct view is that the sexualization of girls and feminism are opposing forces, but in fact they have gone hand-in-hand.” He wrote that feminism teaches girls that chastity is a form of “oppression”.
“They have taught that there are no natural limits to sexuality,” he wrote. “Based on feminist principles, why shouldn’t little girls sexualize themselves? And why shouldn’t adult men and women view them as sexual if there is no such thing as unnatural sexuality?”
Others have made the connection with early sexualizing of children with child sexual abuse. Cathy Wing, of Media-Awareness, a non-profit educational organization for media literacy said that sexually explicit advertising or products aimed at pre-teens naturally leads to adults treating children as sexual beings ready for exploitation. Wing told the Toronto Sun, “Perhaps when we surround ourselves with sexualized images of young people we shouldn't be surprised that a segment of the society think that it is okay to have sex with children,”
The suggestion by Norwegian child experts follows a larger trend in many countries of the European Union to raise the level of sexual activity in every area of the culture.
In May 2006, the German government was blasted by dozens of human rights groups and experts in human trafficking for building new brothels and “sex huts” in time to service fans at the World Cup soccer tournament in Berlin. It was estimated that 40,000 women were added, with official approval, to the existing 400,000 who already plied Germany’s legal prostitution or “sex-trade”.
In July 2007, the German Ministry for Family Affairs was accused of “state-encouraged incest” when it issued a pair of education booklets encouraging parents to sexually massage their children as young as 1 to 3 years of age. One of the booklets recommended that fathers should “devote attention” to the sexual organs of young daughters and another suggested teaching children the movements of copulation.

Moral degeneration seems to be on an accelerated pace.
Speechless. What’s wrong with the brains of liberals, or worse Euro-liberals? Is it the overconsumption of drugs? Sick, depraved perverts.
..now that’s a visual I don’t need rattling around my noggin.
Sheeeeeesh.
This is already posted....yesterday I believe
Years ago people who espoused this would be viewed as freaks (and rightly so), and now their beliefs are embraced by many.
Lunacy!
Not anymore. May a moose bite his sister.
Sounds like Norway is just a few million muslims away from becoming another 3rd world rat-hole.
I searched but found no previous thread.
“Brave New World” wasn’t supposed to be a documentary.
How odd ... I did a search but it never came up. Did you ping me to it?
That's what college is for!
but it does put a new spin on John Lennon's "Norwegian Wood".
Whew! Glad he added that caveat...guess it makes it okay then.
Oh my goodness! Parents beware. Know what your child care providers are doing at all times!
We’re all just animals with a more (less)advanced brain!

IIRC, this is suppossed to get a segment tonight on the Glenn Beck Show
on TV.
Sounds like a couple of fraternity parties I went to in college.
(I was tapped but I didn't pledge.)
I had to modify the title for length considerations (I’m sure you did too) and that’s why it was missed. I think I only pinged moral absolutes and homosexual agenda, so you probably missed it.
