“It’s Perfectly Normal”
Is anyone familiar with this children’s book? I saw an interview about it on TV. Apparently intended for 9-11 year olds, it contains explicit and graphic drawings of intercourse and masturbation. The images are so explicit that the TV program had to censor parts of them, yet it’s being used in some schools.

It’s certainly more information than I would have wanted at age 10.

Did you see this on tonight’s “O’Reilly Factor”? I couldn’t understand how kids were getting this book. I know Planned Parenthood, that lovely organization, put it out, and it was distributed w/o parents knowledge or permission, however, I wasn’t clear on the circumstances. Did a public school do it? I’d sue. The sub guy that was in for O’Reilly (can’t remember his name, it wasn’t John Gibson or Tony Snow) was pointing out to the “family therapist” (yeah, right), that they couldn’t even show the pictures on the show b/c it was considered obscene, so why was it ok to give to kids? Her tired reply was something along the lines of “kids need to know that there bodies are beautiful, sex is normal and natural, blah, blah, blah.” And when asked why this was done w/o parental involvement, she said b/c some parents wouldn’t have allowed their kids to get the book. WELL, DUH! Whose kids are they? First of all, kids are born knowing how to masturbate, they don’t need to see drawings (no one taught me, I figured it out on my own just fine, unfortunately). Second, if you’re Catholic (and some other types of Christian, I’m sure), masturbation is NOT ok, and how about we let parents teach their kids sexual morals that are in line w/ their faith, shall we? Third, kids don’t need to see drawings of people having sex, that’s the same as showing them still images of X rated movies (which is considered child abuse). I don’t think the host was tough enough on this woman. Bill would have probably tore into her a little more, probably giving an example of what he would do if he found out this was given to his daughter w/o his knowledge or permission.

This is a prime example of how planned parenthood is attempting to take away all parental rights. It’s not enough that they want our children to be able to get birth control and have abortions w/o our knowledge. Now, they’re going to teach them about sex w/o us as well (to make sure they need the birth control and abortions later, maybe?). I wonder if there’s any recourse for the parents of the kids who got this garbage.

Yes, that’s where I saw the interview. Then I looked online for some reviews of the book. One review recommended parental guidance. Another said that the book, though intended for 9-11 year olds, was in their high school library. The kids would check it out, not to read it, but to look at the pictures.

I just don’t know how my generation managed. We had no sex education at all. It’s a wonder we all just didn’t dry up and disappear.

So, Beverley La Haye is the founder of the CWA organization. Makes me leery of that site, with her husband, Tim, and his anti-Catholic Left Behind novel series.
 
PP breeds morally bankrupt followers who simply are being taught absolute garbage.
anything for their god - money.
 
I’m not vouching for Beverly LaHaye or CWA. After seeing the discussion on TV, I searched on the internet for this book, and that was one of the reviews that popped up. Of course, it’s also on Amazon.com. Surprisingly, I didn’t find much about it. Maybe this sort of thing is just commonplace now. I can say that if that book had turned up in my grade school in the 1950’s. every parent would have been up in arms. Apparently, it doesn’t cause that much of a stir anymore.

I’ve learned “normal” is more objective then subjective. It is normal to have sexual feelings, it is not “normal” to entertain them to the point of frustrating yourself into sin.

Yes, I’ve seen the book. Several organizations here in TX were successful in getting it temporarily removed from public libraries. It is now back in the library but not in the children’s section. The author spoke here in Houston (at the invitation of PP) last year and a group picketed the talk. I’ve seen the book and it is graphic-- why would a 9 yo need to know about birth control, abortion (!!!), homosexual acts, how to put on a condom (yes, a picture showing how) and STDs?

Stay FAR away from this book. There is nothing “normal” about it.

I am on the CWA Action Alert and Newsletter distribution. CWA and Beverly LaHaye’s group are associated but not the same group. While I disagree with the La Hayes’ theology, I cannot disagree with their political agenda and the good they try to do keeping pornography and the liberal agenda on the defensive.
