Why are so many leftists obsessed with sexualizing children? And why are so many of them intent on normalizing sexual behavior that for millennia has been verboten?
Planned Parenthood is combining these intentions by teaching very young children that what long has been prohibited should actually be seen as normal.
KEEP SEX TOYS OUT OF CHILDREN’S CLASSROOMS
No, this is not about same-sex relationships or transgenderism. This time, it’s about the insidious campaign to reframe prostitution as “commercial sex work,” as if it is just some ordinary, acceptable job like firefighting or truck driving that children can aspire to when they grow up. Worse, the heavily taxpayer-funded organization aims to push this agenda on children who may be too young even to understand the concept, much less appreciate its moral and ethical dimensions.
To get to the more important point here, which is about not forcing age-inappropriate material onto children, let’s assume, for argument’s sake, the common sense that, yes, prostitution deserves every bit of the opprobrium that most societies have placed on it from time immemorial. While of course debatable, the strong arguments are readily available against the notion of euphemizing it as “sex work.”
Yet even if one disagrees with the long-standing societal strictures against prostitution, the notion of legitimizing it by teaching it to young children should be anathema. Instead, the sexualization of children has become a political fetish, an example of perversity becoming pathology. And the organization now leading the way is the nation’s leading abortion provider, Planned Parenthood.
The abortion profiteer has produced a “toolkit” called “Scaling-Up comprehensive sexuality education” to “empower adolescents and young people.” Perhaps the group thinks “empower” means “have more sex so we can have more demand for abortions.”
As noted in a tweet by prominent parents’ rights advocate Nicole Solas, an entry on page 19 of the “toolkit,” under the subhead of “Key learnings: Interpersonal Relationships,” specifically for children under 10, advises blandly that “sexual activity may be part of different types of relationships, including dating, marriage or commercial sex work, among others.” [My emphasis added.] This is part of a list of other gems of wisdom for children under 10, such as that “touching your body can feel great; so can touching your genitals, but privacy is recommended.” The overall approach is aimed at “delivering sex-positive workshops for young people.”
Excuse me, but … really?
This is a job for parents or designees specifically chosen by parents. Granted, there is something to be said for outside organizations or even the state to provide some sort of sexual education for children whose parents are absent or incapacitated, but that should be the exception, not the rule.
And either way, nobody outside the home should be filling young children’s minds — or, rather, confusing children or even perverting them — with notions of “commercial sex work,” especially with a positive subtext. Why even include such a mention in a toolkit for tots under 10?
The notion that prostitution is not ordinarily a proper subject for young children is irrefutable by the very nature of … well, nature. We know young children’s minds, emotions, and bodies are far from fully matured. We know that sexuality is among the human experiences most fraught with emotional consequences. How, pray tell, can anyone possibly think that mass-training programs should be pushing the idea of prostitution on, say, 9-year-olds?
What Planned Parenthood and its ideological ilk are spreading is a malignant societal contagion. Its victims are little children.
