How does that embarrass the children? Learning the proper names? They are body parts. Children should learn not to be embarrassed by their bodies; that is part of the reason children are reluctant to report abuse. They feel the adults around them are uncomfortable with sexuality or bodies and the children are afraid to report.

Evidently, you did not read the column. Evidently, you disagree with Familiaris Consortio and The Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality. Evidently, you have missed the entire point of the article.

It is the parents' primary responsibility to teach these things to our children at an age-appropriate level. The pedagogy with all of this stuff is severely flawed.

You teach your children what/how you want. The Catholic schools and religious education programs are supposed to be teaching faith and morals. Since there is no morality involved in this insidious program, this means Catholic schools and parishes should not be teaching it. Otherwise, just call themselves "dissenting Catholic" schools.
