Where can you find oral sex, drug use, a fondness for big government social programs and addictions to multiple sexual partners? If you immediately thought of the Clinton Presidential Library, you’re close, but it’s not the only library dedicated to debauchery.
I have spent the last week reading books and magazines I randomly selected off the public library shelves. I literally closed my eyes and just started grabbing stuff, which makes what I found that much more disturbing. The results of this experiment are filled with leftist brainwashing, explicit sex, foul language, drug use, alcohol abuse, permissive parents, abusive parents and much more.
Please understand, the following material contains language that is pornographic and obscene. But if you don’t see it with your own eyes, I doubt you would believe that any publishing house is hawking this stuff to children.
Besides the kiddie porn, the political elements dropped into these books and magazines are insidious. Never have I found conservative talking points in any of the “hot reading lists” for kids. But if your kid suddenly wants to turn vegan, save a baby seal and/or polar bears, and has developed an inexplicable dislike for the NRA, check their backpack for one or more of the following tomes.

I was just thinking about this the other day. When I was a kid (50s through mid 60s) I practically lived at the library. I moved a lot, and every school and public library would become well known to me. I read biographies, classics and books written for "middle aged" children and adolescents. The books I read might as well have come from the 1200s compared to the vile poison kids are now exposed to. Even in the 1980s when I home schooled my and some other peoples' children, I could not believe how degraded children's "literature" had become. For those who say that it's up to parents to protect their children from filth that degrades morals and ruins innocence, I reply that it is impossible unless the parent accompanies the child everywhere they go like a jailer, or homeschools; unless they can find a really good private school.
Another point is that childrens' minds are easily corrupted by filth - meaning sexually explicit material, or books that promote leftist garbage, rebellion against parents and religion, and so on.
The need to protect children from such material was a common cultural understanding a couple of generations ago. Now it's "Toss them into the fire as soon as possible".
Licentiousness in the false name of "freedom" is liberaltarianism at its worst. The Constitution was never meant to protect obscene or pornographic material.
Of course, the protagonist in Lolita ends up dead (as I believe does Lolita herself).
This “trend” has its ups and downs. I believe in the 70s, Playboy had playmates as young as 16. And, honestly, the advent of online [often free] porn dwarfs whatever impact the referenced books wil have.
One day, maybe within 50 years or so, you’ll no doubt be able to “download” sexual experiences directly into your brain. Chances are I won’t be around for that, however.
It’s Sunday night and I was struggling, again, with our decision to homeschool our kids. Not anymore.
Just heard my five year old tell her big sister that “I love Sarah Palin” (guess what our Sunday night viewing is...)
Homeschool, and never, never, look back. Government schools are poison. They are nothing more than a jobs program for the left, a welfare program for the middleclass, and re-education camps for the children.
E. Michael Jones wrote a most interesting book, Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation and Political Control. The thesis is taken from a quote from St. Augustine:
“Thus, a good man though a slave is free; but a wicked man, though a king, is a slave. For he serves not one man alone, but, what is worse, as many masters as he has vices.”
Oh, me too!! Definitely.
Aw, how sweet that your daughter loves Sarah Palin! Best of luck with the homeschooling - everyone I know who has done it finds that the rewards far outweigh the drawbacks.
I emailed my son’s (homeschool association) debate coach this evening, and observed that a couple of proposed topics for an upcoming tournament involved legalizing marijuana. These are topics submitted by the students.
The coach replied that the more time he spends judging debate tournaments, the more determined he is to continue homeschooling his own children until graduation. Good education (good test scores, scholarships) aside, the students in many schools are swallowing moral poison, and although the debate competitors are being taught to argue effectively, that doesn’t mean they’re actually *reasoning* from reality.
I remember this from the early 80s, when I was a top student in a public high school. My SAT score made college recruiters swoon.
When “The Scarlet Letter” first came out it was a scandal. Now I wish more kids would read it.
I believe that what we are seeing is actually our government (politicians, public schools, libraries, etc) now reflecting the culture that we have allowed to develop. This has happened over several generations by small “allowances” being made. This is hard for most of us to accept since that means that we have some of the responsibility for this on our shoulders. Over the years I have heard the “personal responsibility” phrase used but when it came to actually having it, few (as a percentage) took it on.
Why have we accepted having the government “educate” our children? Was it because it was easier on us, it cost us less (average of about $11,000 per student), we did not feel qualified, we don't have the time? Those are all statements I have heard from friends. But at what cost...? We have known for a long time about the problems with public education but as a culture continue to send the children into the mess. Is it that much of a surprise that the libraries are following the lead of the schools?
I believe that we have now developed into a culture that is very self centered and, short of a major move of God within the families and the church, we are going to have some major problems. We need to move away from looking to the government as part of the answer for education (this would include schools and libraries), for financial security (social security, etc), and for setting moral rules. We need to return to God's standards and follow His guidelines...Following God leads to freedom, following man (government) leads to slavery...choose freedom.
God bless
Someone please seduce them rightward!
Make them read Ayn Rand.
If they’re over 18 and hot, send them over to my house. I’ll seduce the heck out of them.
Show then the Diceman stuff - they’ll understand.
Bass Fishing League?

Agreed. Parents today are often paranoid about threats from pedophiles, germs and bullies. They might be advised to consider the threat to their children's minds and hearts as well.
Is the writer Megan Fox the actress and model?
No. I answered my own question. Thanks.
