“the sexualization of children...”
how sad; that children are not only murdered in the womb, but their souls are distorted and warped in a systematic and deliberate manner, to be softened up for conformance to a regimented society that frowns on sexual restraint and respect for the reproductive process.
IMHO
Someday they will step over a line that can not be retreated from. Right now I’m happy to have my children taught at home.
Or to even have moral standards as a teenager.
If you are going to toss your young ones into a pack of wolves, why be surprised if they return snapping and snarling like wolves?
I told them it was for a pill that makes your feet grow. They believed me until my daughter got in middle School and found out. My daughters friends thought she was naive. I wish she still was. Now my daughter laughs whenever the "viva viagra" commercials come on because she knows I hate them. BTW, these commercials are coming on all the time when I watching Fox News.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment

Your post is accurate and chilling.
As long as parents insist on dressing their preschool-aged girls like streetwalkers, and allowing their older girls to dress that way...
And especially when the mothers dress that way too...
As long as we have parents who never married, or who are divorced and shacking up with their latest "love interest" in front of the kids...
As long as parents allow their children to listen to rap and rock music with explicit lyrics....
As long as we have parents allowing children to watch television shows with suggestive plots, and even allowing elementary-aged children to watch R-rated movies...
I could go on and on, but as long as this is going on at home, what do you expect children to bring to school?
Most children are not learning these things at school, they are learning them at home.
A mother of a 12 year old in my intro to psych class asked me how to handle her 12 year old son . . .
The son had been observed by her—happenstance she saw it—absolutely pawing—would have been molesting his girlfriend had she not been obviously mutually engaged.
I gave some decent comments about limits and boundaries but feel I didn’t do a good job at all.
HOW ABOUT IT, FREEPER SUPER PARENTS—PLEASE HELP THE SHRINK here.
I went to Catholic school and at least 1/3 of the girls in my 7th grade class were sexually active in one way or another --- and I was in 7th grade in 1973.
Where I live, the private school is where the troublemakers from the public schools wind up. None of the good kids want any part of that place, nor do their parents.
Quite frustrating I am afraid. A parent sent an e-mail to my principal Friday stating that he had contacted our state chapter of the ACLU for teaching religion, morals, and conspiracy theories to his child, one of my 140 students. No specifics given in the e-mail. My students respond overwhelmingly well to my teaching which appropriately encourages living right and honoring, not corrupting our bodies. I teach them to be critical thinkers and to be no ones fool in life. They are seeking steadfast direction. The adults involved are another story altogether.
