Default Re: Central Fla. Mom Says Assigned School Novel Is Porn

I can see the heavy responsibility to the uncle part, but could you explain the safety measure to the young girls part? There's no inherent danger in a hymen being torn, so I'm lost there?

Fathers used to take their sons to a local prostitute for their "initiation" or "training" (both, really, if it was an experienced woman who gave a crap about what she was doing and wanted the young man to be able to be confident in pleasing his future wife) when the father felt the young man was "of age".

I used to be okay with that concept, but I've moved on to asking when is it ever "okay" to say to a young person "this is the day your innocence goes away", or "today you give up your body to someone else whether you want to or not"?
Basically, I was okay with that concept before I was raped. Afterwards I realized what it was that the parents - in all of their good intentions - were actually subjecting their children to. There's never a right time for someone *else* to decide when you're going to do something so intimate and private, or who you'll do it with. Period. It's not a generational thing, it's not a cultural thing, it's a consensual thing.

And as for the Mom suddenly getting her panties in a wad about what her daughter has been assigned to read, welcome to the real world of public school, woman. Nice of you to wake up and finally take a look around. Your next assignment is to go to page 24 of the published guidelines of SEICUS for sexual education and see how they're telling 5yr olds about masturbation and telling 12 year olds to go online to find gay chat rooms, among other things. After that you'll have a 180-day internship roaming the halls and classrooms of all three levels of public school - elementary, middle, and high - and you will not be allowed to stick your fingers in your ears or cover your eyes. You will be required to review all of the materials and textbooks the students are assigned, including those that have been heavily censored, altered, or outright changed by various pressure groups, such as two counties in Georgia cutting out and/or painting over the famous artwork of Washington crossing the Delaware because his freaking pocketwatch supposedly looked like his penis and testicles hanging out of the CENTER his SIDE-BUTTONED pants.
For the final phase of your awakening, you'll be required to read everything ever written by John Holt.
Maybe then you'll realize that the real threat to your child isn't 4 pages out of this book, but the institution of public school itself.
After that, I'd be happy to help you find support groups and guidelines for how you can homeschool your daughter through the rest of her high school education easily and successfully.
