Can't Stop Thinking About Sex

It seems the 9th Circle of Hell Court has decided that there is "no fundamental right of parents to be the exclusive provider of information regarding sexual matters to their children."

The three-judge panel of the full court further ruled that parents "have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the information to which their children will be exposed while enrolled as students."

Six parents sued the Palmdale, Calif., School District after finding out their kids had been asked a series of sexual questions in class. They included asking the children about the frequency of:

Touching my private parts too much

Thinking about having sex

Thinking about touching other people's private parts

Thinking about sex when I don't want to

Washing myself because I feel dirty on the inside

Not trusting people because they might want sex

Getting scared or upset when I think about sex

Having sex feelings in my body

Can't stop thinking about sex

Getting upset when people talk about sex


Most of you know what I think about the public skewels. This is just another in a loooooong list of reasons why my children never will step foot in those hives of hedonism. Sending your kid to one of these "institutions" is voluntarily surrendering parental discretion and authority, which I think is a terrible idea.

That said, this kangaroo court may have nothing in the way of wholesome values, but it makes up for this lacking in unmitigated gall. Taxpayer funding keeps the public "schools" from foundering. The parents who send their children there are taxpayers. Of course they should have a say-so in what is taught. That's Common Decency 101.

Sexuality and all its ramifications is tied irrevocably to morality. So in essence the court's ruling is: parents have no rights as exclusive arbiters of moral teachings for their children. The government-run "schools" may teach a counter-message, if they choose. If so, parents have no recourse. In other words, grin and bear it.

This is an attack against parents and an assault against the family. The interesting side-note is that much of these curricula are spirited in under the radar, outside parental awareness. Moms and dads aren't given the facts for debating at school-board meetings. They simply have no idea what's going on, until too late. How anyone could believe that the government has no agenda in direct conflict with that of most parents is beyond me. And these corrosive intentions become less subtle by the day.

One final open question: If parents have no rights as exclusive providers of information on sex, where does one draw the line over the rights they do have?
