At 10 years old I didn't have a clue about sex and couldn't have cared less. At 10, in 1951, I had other things going on in my life. This is so shocking. Culture has become so degraded I really feel for parents trying their best but they are swimming against the tide. So sad.

You ain't kiddin' we're swimming against the tide. This is what I went through recently:
All 5 of my kids are in a private Christian school. My 15 year old daughter had a required reading book from history class called, The State of the Arts: From Bezalel to Mapplethorpe. Knowing who Mapplethorpe is (a pornographer) I picked the book up to see what my daughter would need to know about that freak. Chapter 1, page 1 discusses Mapplethorpes photo of a man urinating into the mouth of another man. I kept reading and found "Annie Sprinkle's performance art consisting of masturbating on stage, then inviting the patrons to come up and view her genitalia with a flashlight."

The school defends the book, saying the kids need to be instructed in what is not "Christian art." I'm of the opinion any idiot could figure that out and our kids will not be going back to that school.

You try so hard to protect your kids from smut but it's being thrown in their faces at every possible chance.
