Sex Education in Today’s Schools: The Normalization of Perversity
Sex Education in Today’s Schools: The Normalization of Perversity
“Schools at nearly all grade levels are now preaching the joys of non-reproductive sex. The organization GLSEN is pushing the gay agenda in public schools, including the earliest grades, and they have already succeeded in six states and are lobbying with multiple allies in several others. GLSEN’s gay message is clear: ‘GLSEN works to ensure that LGBTQ students are able to learn and grow in a school environment free from bullying and harassment. Together we can transform our nation’s schools into the safe and affirming environment all youth deserve.’ In practice, teaching about gays and the transgendered is thus comparable to celebrating how blacks, Jews, Italians, the Irish, Armenians and the like all contribute to America’s greatness. In a sense, drag shows for toddlers is the first step in sexualizing children to put them on the pathway to ‘an alternative lifestyle.’
“More importantly, sex education in today’s schools has advanced far beyond the traditional bone dry, unerotic birds and the bees. Under the label of ‘comprehensive sex education,’ lessons now include graphic depictions of oral and anal sex along with masturbation.
“Massachusetts seventh graders learn how to mold Saran Wrap to form a dental dam for safe cunnilingus. High schoolers in Eugene, Oregon recently were instructed about massage oil, flavored syrup, a candle, music, feathers or a boa on the pathway to sexual satisfaction.
“The lessons on non-reproductive sex continue in college and, if anything, they become more explicit. No longer might gay students worry about living celibate lives in hostile campus environments. Now, thanks to the website Campus Pride Index those in the LGBT+ community can see how over 400 campuses are rated by their friendliness toward gays to ensure years of sexual exploration. The site also offers pride events and campus fairs where like-minded youngster can meet and exchange information. Their job bulletin board includes a gay-friendly research institute and access to a pride media center.
“Then add the burgeoning popularity of officially sponsored campus ‘sex weeks’ where students are exposed to kinky sex. Yes, there may be talk of safe sex together with free condoms, but if the campus is to make ‘sex week’ exciting for an entire week, there must to more than dull heterosexual intercourse. Lessons might cover Queer sex, hands-on demonstrations of sex toys, the personal journeys of non-binary people, and the joys of masturbation and, for the truly adventuresome, lessons in bondage, dominance, submission, sadism, masochism, and fetishes. Harvard College, as befitting its lofty status, offers entire seminars on talking dirty and anal sex along with handing out free sex toys to undergraduate participants.”
