The publications she discusses in this article can be found in the young adult section of public libraries across the United States. In many cases, children can access these materials without any parental guidance. The last few on the list are especially appalling in how sexually explicit they are, and because these books and magazines aren't necessarily bestsellers, many slip under the radar. The 10 items reviewed are:

1. Frogs and French Kisses by Sarah Mlynowski
2. The Breakup Bible by Melissa Kantor
3. New Moon Girls Magazine, November/December 2010
4. Faces; People, Places and Cultures, October 2010 issue
5. Losing Louisa by Judith Caseley
6. Girls' Life Magazine
7. Friends with Benefits by Melody Mayer
8. Some Like it Hot (An A-List Novel) by Zoey Dean
9. Ready or Not by Meg Cabot
10. Rainbow Party by Paul Ruditis

I once glanced at a book pulled off the shelf called "The Day America Told The Truth."

It was hailed by the evangelical talking heads of the day, who apparently hadn't read the sexually explicit material that I saw on the first page I flipped to.

I could have done without it.

It’s still a free country. If you aren’t teaching your children how to filter crap then it’s your fault.
At the same time it is important to pressure your library to provide readings with an alternate point of view.

The government wants kids to be sexually active. Planned Parenthood thinks girls should learn to enjoy sex by 10. Tax funded they are.

Ugh. A quote from the review of "Rainbow Party" on the last page of the article:

His book begins with two girls, around 15 years old, in the drugstore choosing lipsticks for a mysterious party. You get the drift pretty quick that it’s downright dirty and is going to include lots of party favors in the form of adolescent girls on their knees leaving lipstick marks on boys in their class.

I guess I know what a "rainbow party" is now. I have no words.

They sound horrible. I mean, as well as awful, boring and not very entertaining.

The American Library Association, in addition to being a haven for militant lesbians, is about as far Left and politically correct an organization as you'll find in the U.S. It's no accident you found those books. There are plenty more like them.

Have a look at ALA's issues and advocacy topics: ALA ISSUES AND ADVOCACY

It’s been this way in libraries for a LONG time. If you take your kids there, help them pick out their books, and refuse some of their choices.

In the Young Adult or Teen section, when I was in that category, I learned all there was to know about sex and drugs in those “hip” books they always carried, like Go Ask Alice and whatnot.

Perhaps the kids should just start having sex in the libraries.

By a different Megan Fox, apparently.

Does it really come as a surprise to anyone that these things occur in books written for adults? It’s part of that First Amendment thing...

Nothing to see here.

What about “Lolita” by Vladimir Nabokov? The novel and 2 movies.

It’s Sunday night and I was struggling, again, with our decision to homeschool our kids. Not anymore.

Just heard my five year old tell her big sister that “I love Sarah Palin” (guess what our Sunday night viewing is...)

E. Michael Jones wrote a most interesting book, Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation and Political Control. The thesis is taken from a quote from St. Augustine:

“Thus, a good man though a slave is free; but a wicked man, though a king, is a slave. For he serves not one man alone, but, what is worse, as many masters as he has vices.”

Someone please seduce them rightward!

Make them read Ayn Rand.

Is the writer Megan Fox the actress and model?
