Gender optional
Having only male or female sex organs no longer restricts your gender options for documentation on your birth certificate. In the state of New York your gender will now be what you want it to be as long as you can prove you want to be considered as a member of the opposite sex, sex reassignment is not even necessary.
Under the rule being considered by the city’s Board of Health, which is likely to be adopted soon, people born in the city would be able to change the documented sex on their birth certificates by providing affidavits from a doctor and a mental health professional laying out why their patients should be considered members of the opposite sex, and asserting that their proposed change would be permanent.What I find most interesting is that all you need to do is prove you really want it and then dress and act like the opposite sex in at least some steriotypical manner. I particularly like this line.
If approved, the new rule would put New York at the forefront of efforts to redefine gender.This is not an effort to redefine gender. This is an effort to remove any definition of gender at all.

Female child rapists get the breaks
We all know it's true but hearing a judge admit it while sentencing a female offender is enough to make a person give up on the American justice system.
Judge Bates told Fisher, "If I had a male in front of me that would have had sex with a 14-year-old female, I think everybody in the courtroom would know what I would do to that particular offender. They would be going to a state institution for a very lengthy period of time.""Almost"? A judge that openly admits he would give a man a harsher sentence under the same circumstances needs to be tossed out on his butt.Fisher could have received up to five years in prison. Instead, Judge Bates sentenced her to five years of supervised probation. But even he said it's almost a double standard.

A desire for privacy makes gays pedophiles
According to David Link at the Boston Globe, suppressing your desire to lead a publicly gay lifestyle will lead to pedophelia.
But what can one expect from denying grown men -- and women -- a normal, adult sex life? Whether the denial of adult intimacy comes from religious conviction or the ordinary urge toward conformity, people who run away from their sexuality nearly always have to answer to nature somehow. For people who fear abiding and mutual love, the trust and confusion of the young is a godsend. Add to that the perquisites of power, and a degenerate is born.Oddly everyone in the GOP seemed to know Foley was gay and either didn't care or ignored it. The only ones that had problems with it were Democrats and fellow gays that considered his positions a betrayal of the gay interests, much like black leadership that consider black republicans to be Uncle Toms.
As more information comes out it appears Foley may have been creepy but hardly a pedophile as the age of consent in DC is 16. The IM's for that matter are disgusting but appear consensual. Nothing yet suggests Foley pursued anyone after being told to stop. Are we now to consider any overly friendly inquiries from gay males to be offensive and perverted harassment worthy of police investigation as reaction to the relatively harmless e-mails show? Is dirty talk in IM’s between older gay men and young boys of age now a crime?
If I found these things to be sickening and offensive does that now make me a tolerant open-minded progressive?

Gay men no longer allowed to be too friendly to young boys
Two of the more interesting side stories associated with "outing" of Rep. Mark Foley as a child predator are the carefully ignored fact that he is gay and that the Democratic Party along with many liberal newspaper and organizations are openly asking why gay republicans that are too friendly with small boys are not investigated and controlled. According to the left, it is now inappropriate for gays to be friendly with small boys. Where was this kind of thinking when the Boy Scouts were being vilified and driven from public property and for understanding the dangers? There is no doubt that this pervert was only allowed to remain because of the political correctness of our times. The republicans were dammed if they did and damned if they didn't in this highly partisan atmosphere.
THE ABRUPT fall of Rep. Mark Foley, a Republican from West Palm Beach, is about more than one congressman's sickness. It's about whether his colleagues were sufficiently vigilant in responding to signs of his exploitive behavior toward House pages.Nowhere in this article do you find mention of the gender of the pages or any reference to the fact that Foley was gay or homosexual. One would almost have to be excused for thinking that somehow being a Republican makes you a child predator.In backtracking through the scandal, it's outrageous that Foley was not confronted long ago by responsible adults in the House. His doting over congressional pages earned him a label as an eccentric to avoid. After one youth complained about "sick" e-mails from Foley, he was privately warned by House overseers of the page system to knock it off. It's obvious he didn't get the message.
I for one have learned my lesson from our compassionate friends on the left. From now on if I see a gay male be friendly to a young male child I will be sure to monitor him closely and turn him in to the police.

So what happens when Gays are forced to marry
I had not really considered this aspect of legalized gay marriage. Once gay marriage becomes legal in a state, gay partners no longer get a free ride on the benefit wagon but now must embrace the legally binding commitments of marriage as well.
An employee who currently covers a same-sex domestic partner as a dependent will have to marry his or her partner by Jan. 1 for the employee benefits coverage to continue at the employee rates,” the memo states.This what they mean by a shotgun wedding?
The policy change at the Globe, which devotes extensive coverage to gay issues, opens a new can of worms in the Bay State as employers rethink their domestic partner benefits in the wake of the legalization of gay marriage in 2004.

Batwoman returns as a Lesbian
Besides the obvious idiocy of PC pandering you have to wonder if this is a move to increase female readership or male voyeur readership.
A long-dead DC Comics heroine is coming back to life.Either way sexploitation finds it's way into yet another childhood venue.Batwoman, who was killed by the League of Assassins and the Bronze Tiger in 1979 after a 23-year run, is making a comeback with some startling changes to her persona.
Batwoman...real name Kathy Kane...is scheduled to appear in 52, a year-long DC Comics publication that made its debut this month.
In her new incarnation, Batwoman is a "lipstick lesbian," a rich socialite who has a romantic history with another 52 character, former police detective Renee Montoya.

Convincing believers homosexuality is not a sin
Just how do you teach believers their guiding text is wrong.
After decades of working to change secular institutions, the national movement, which has largely convinced society that homosexuality is neither a mental disorder nor a crime, is focusing on what its leaders say is their last, and biggest, challenge: convincing believers that it's not a sin.That is unless they are not really believers. I have always been amused at people who think religious believers must be perfect or they are hypocrites. Christian teaching is a constant reminder of the fallibility of man and a striving to overcome our sinful nature. Much like the alcoholic that has to battle daily to avoid that next drink, sometimes we Christians fail but hopefully we learn from our mistakes and "go forth and sin no more". The answer for a Christian was never to redefine sin denounced in the bible as virtue.
Today the principles and texts of faith are being ignored by many so-called people of faith. No literate reading of the bible can gloss over it’s rejection of homosexuality (and many other sins). At best, Christian compassion and teaching allows pity for those obsessed with these sinful acts. The proud sinner is hardly the person Jesus died for on the cross.
Just how can you have faith in something if you don’t believe in it? If some Christian organizations join in renouncing the foundation of their own guiding texts what have they left to stand on.

Mocking mistaken for progress
Nominating men for homecoming queen and women for king is one of the oldest jokes in the book. As a rule no one takes it seriously and those nominated are eliminated by administration officials wanting to treat the contest seriously or those nominated recognize the joke and want no part of it. In it's cruelest form it can result in the nomination of mentally handicapped or disfigured.
The left has no sense of humor and is obviously unable to see some jokes no matter how much they get strung along.
Hood College is reviewing its homecoming rules after a lesbian was crowned king, a college official says.But Jennifer Jones, the 21-year-old senior who beat out three men for the honor, says her victory last month was a plus for the private liberal-arts college.
"It is cool that Hood allows people to be themselves," Jones, of Newark, Del., told The Frederick News-Post. "If people didn't want me to be king, they wouldn't have nominated me and voted for me."
Waves of discontent are still rippling through the 2,100-student campus in western Maryland more than two weeks after Jones was crowned at the Feb. 18 homecoming dance, the News-Post reported Monday.
Jones, who is openly homosexual, received 64 of 169 votes cast, the News-Post reported.You have to be seriously deluded to consider 64 of 169 votes from a campus of 2100 students a validation. I can attest to the fact that males consider "homecoming king" to be a joke and will (given the opportunity) do their best to elect the most bizarre candidate possible just for fun. I would have voted for her too out of sheer comedic value regardless of her orientation, in some respects her being gay is even better because it's more bizarre. Only females take this stuff seriously. Then again maybe that’s what happened here after all.
If only a homecoming "queen" could have been elected to make a matching pair.

Gay marrage verses freedom of religion
They said all they wanted was the right to have their love recognized, have property share rights and be able to make hospital visits. Well now gays want courts to force church organizations to violate their own moral teachings.
The couple's homosexual union contradicts the Catholic institution's moral code, they said. And they would not recognize it as a marriage.On Thursday, Couture and McDonald filed a joint complaint of sexual discrimination and marital status discrimination with the state Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities.
The hospital, which is affiliated with the Archdiocese of Hartford, also does not offer birth control or abortion services, he said."We are a Catholic hospital, as a result, we adhere to the church's teachings, principals and ethical directives," Ritz said. "We are looking at the needs of the organization to remain consistent with our own moral beliefs."

Sex affidavit for health benefits
Can this seriously stop cohabitating same gender partners from lying if they really have no intention of policing it?
University of Florida employees have to pledge that they're having sex with their domestic partners before qualifying for benefits under a new health care plan at the university.I am constantly amazed how so-called "advances in human rights" lead to intrusions and distortions of our freedoms such as this or affirmative action quotas.

The do's and don'ts of Muslim sex
I thought this was rather interesting.
A curious religious debate is raging in Egypt. The question is: should you keep your clothes on when having sex?It began when Dr Rashad Khalil, an expert on Islamic law from al-Azhar university in Cairo warned that being completely naked during intercourse invalidates a marriage. His ruling was promptly dismissed by other scholars, including one who argued that "anything that can bring spouses closer to each other" should be permitted.Be sure to read it all.Another religious scholar suggested it was OK for married couples to see each other naked as long as they don't look at the genitals. To avoid problems in that area, he recommended having sex under a blanket.

The ABC's & D's & E's of homosexual child rearing
I learned my ABC's but it was nothing like this.
A BISEXUAL man who answered an advert to father a lesbian couple’s baby has won a landmark court battle to be one of the official parents, it was revealed yesterday.They may want to start a fund now for this childs future mental health care to get ahead of the curve.
The man had sex with one of the women and she had a daughter, now five years old.But the man, referred to only as Mr B, then demanded the right to parental responsibility for the child on matters such as education and health.
He was refused and went to the High Court’s Family Division which has upheld his entitlement to be an official parent of the child, known as D.
Experts interviewed the youngster who told them she had two mothers — Mummy and Ma — identified as Ms A and Ms C.
In a bizarre twist, the girl’s mother — Ms A — got pregnant a second time, with sperm donated by a homosexual who lives with another gay, and she also has a daughter aged three, known as E.

Another Advantage of Gay Marriage
It has the potential for so many positive benefits.
A gay man charged with helping his lover loot a wealthy school district has asked a judge to rule that state law protecting spouses from having to testify against each other also applies to same-sex partners.Stephen Signorelli, fighting charges that he stole at least $219,000 from the Roslyn, New York, school district, is seeking to bar testimony by his longtime companion, Frank Tassone, the district's former superintendent.

Immoral to Reject Immorality
The bible rejects homosexuality as immoral in at least 5 different places. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for this immorality. Morality is mocked and denigrated in every sector these days as old fashioned and obsolete in these modern more enlightened times. But that has never stopped the left from redefining left as right, up as down and immoral as moral.
"What I really want people to understand is rather than seeing these as political contests, these are really profound, unfair, bordering on immoral elections," Foreman told Reuters on Saturday. "Imagine if this was being done to a minority in Kosovo -- people would be outraged."Where have I seen this happen before, hmm… Let me think … Oh I remember. Marriage.

Gay Marriage is Harmless Meets the Slippery Slope in Canada
An I told you so moment.
How could a simple law redefining marriage as a union of "two persons" have such a revolutionary effect? There are two reasons.First, marriage is Western society's most fundamental institution. As such, it is embedded throughout our law, child-rearing practices and culture in general. When marriage is redefined, other social institutions are likewise transformed.
Second, when male-female marriage and same-sex marriage become equal in the eyes of the law, treating them differently becomes discrimination. In Canada, "privileging" male-female marriage in any way is now a violation of human rights. According to Henry, "Canadians who believe in the historic definition of marriage, who believe that children need a mother and father, are now the legal equivalent of racists."
Today, Canada is combing through its laws and institutions to remove evidence of heterosexist discrimination. Terms such as husband and wife are now forbidden across the spectrum of Canadian law and government programs. The legal meaning of parenthood is being transformed, with consequences no one can predict.
Henry says Canadian schools are becoming battlegrounds. "Children will have to be taught about homosexual acts in health class, as they now are about heterosexual acts. Books that promote same-sex marriage are being introduced in some elementary schools. In one action, complainants have demanded 'positive queer role models' across the whole curriculum. If parents complain, they'll be branded as homophobes." Sound farfetched? People who disagree with same-sex marriage risk charges of hate speech. In British Columbia, teacher Chris Kempling has been found guilty -- and disciplined -- for defending male-female marriage in newspaper opinion pieces. Henry himself has been hauled before the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal for promoting traditional marriage in his pastoral letters. "The human rights tribunals have become like thought police," he says. "In Canada, you can now use the coercive powers of the state to silence opposition."

Texas Defends Traditional Marriage 76% to 24%
Proposition 2 passed in Texas and Texans have spoken. This amendment changes nothing in Texas and is more symbolic since homosexual marriage is currently not legal in this state, but it does send a clear message to the nation, the legislature and particularly the courts about where Texans stand. It also may help bolster the states defenses against activist courts who try to redefine the meaning of marriage that has stood for 200 years in this country.
Oddly I suspect this is ultimately a loosing battle and we conservatives are fighting a regard retreat. The general trend has been to turn our culture and laws over to agnostic PC activist courts hostile to what made America great. These courts are making the hard decisions due to a power vacuum created by our legislatures whom are increasingly unwilling to address the issues of the day.
Who knows, I may be proven wrong but in the words of Mad Eye Moody of Harry Potter fame we must maintain "constant vigilance".

Gay Marrage Debate - A Primer
The Volokh Conspiracy has guest blogger Dale Carpenter doing an excellent series on gay marriage. While his commentary does suffer the weakness of an admitted bias which results in questionable value judgments, blinkered arguments and dubious conclusions he does at least avoid the knee-jerk homophobe epithets and restrains his impatience with critics enough to make his contributions readable. The debate is fairly comprehensive and the comments by readers are well worth reading.

The Traditionalist Case – What Would Burke Do?
The Traditionalist Case – Getting From Here to There
The Traditionalist Case – Last Thoughts
My first reaction is a certain irritation at citing marriage as a cure for the excesses of the gay lifestyle that get critics denounced as homophobes. Even more so when it is supposed to save the children of gays from their "parents" excesses.
Even more interesting is the dismissal of polygamy with a sort of "now that we got ours screw the rest of the deviants" approach to admittance to the "marriage" club that undermines any pretense of principled arguement.
In many cases Dale makes "straw man" arguments. That is, he sets up critics as making some obscure objection and then knocking it down so as to make critics appear foolish even though no reasonable person would make such a foolish argument.
And finally, Dale actually tries to make the case that the behavior of unmarried heterosexuals (children out of wedlock) proves that, the reasons for arguing marriage as a haven for proper child rearing in a stable family with a mother and a father, is false. Even after arguing for Gay marriage as a way of stabilizing Gay families in the beginning of his series.
While comprehensive, Dale does a very poor job of making a principled argument. Much of the time his logic is circular, contrived and contradictory.

Straight Talk Radio will Drive Gays Crazy
One of the primary mantras of the gay community is that gays are "born that way" so they have no control over their sexual preferences. This is such a staple of their dogma that they go ballistic at any argument to the contrary. They go so far as to label outreach programs (particularly religious ones) to help gays transition back into the mainstream heterosexual community as hate organizations with the full backing of MSM media.
A new, national daily radio show focused entirely on the most radioactive issue confronting Americans – homosexuality – will launch Monday, and it will be hosted by a prominent former homosexual – and his wife.It will be interesting to see how this does. I have only a passing interest in gays unless they attack traditional institutions like marriage. Beyond that they can do as they please as long as their behavior doesn’t mirror equally badly behaved heterosexuals and presents a danger to public health or become offensive public displays of decadence.
The problem is being left alone is not enough, the activist wing wants in your face acceptance and approval. Even if it means destroying other gays who just want to be left alone, assuming of course it's even true. Anything to the contrary is denounced as homophobia or hate speech. This show should generate some serious heat if it catches on.

Swedish feminist suffered a serious case of overreach.
SPARE a thought for Swedish feminists whose newly formed party is disintegrating after hardliners presented a manifesto advocating a “man tax”, the abolition of marriage and the creation of “gender-neutral” names.The man tax was proposed because men are animals that batter women. When opponents started calling her a left wing kook, her and her supporters decided it was homophobia further proving they actually were kooks.
Be sure to read the entire article, which is some seriously whacked out thinking advocating the elimination of males all together.

The Reasonable Woman Standard
There is a concept in law commonly referred to "the reasonable person standard" which basically refers to an understanding that any “reasonable person” could agree on. This concept is an attempt to describe social norms which cannot be precisely described in law due their infinite variety. The real beauty of this concept was its inclusiveness. It included all sexes, races, orientations and beliefs. Now our courts have decided this is not enough and have developed the "reasonable woman standard" to address male employer behavior in the workplace.
On September 2, 2005, in E.E.O.C. v. National Education Association, (No. 04-35029), the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the “reasonable woman” standard applies to workplace abusive conduct, even if there is no sexual content to the behavior. This decision significantly expands the types of behaviors that may furnish a basis for a claim of discrimination.Beyond the obvious humor we "reasonable people" see in the very idea of a "reasonable woman" standard. I guess we can now expect to see the "reasonable black", "reasonable gay" and "reasonable atheist" standards to be adopted in dealing with future case law. This is a case decision with its very own punch line built into its conclusion.
While there was evidence that the same director raised his voice with men on occasion, and once frightened a male subordinate, male employees seemed to deal with that abuse with banter, and did not express the same fear of the director, did not cry, become panicked or feel physically threatened, avoid contact with the director, call the police, or ultimately resign, as did one woman.Taken seriously we are constantly told that men and women should be treated equally. Now we are told that women cannot be treated equally because they are unable to handle criticism a man would be subjected to under the same circumstances. Here we are required to apply affirmative action to workplace discipline by administering female sensitive corrective action. No doubt management training will soon require sensitivity training on how to discipline female employees to a "reasonable woman" standard, assuming one can be defined.
This is going to open up a huge can of worms since the “reasonable woman” standard will logically exclude men being capable of even understanding what it means. How do women ever expect to be taken seriously as equals if they continue to fall back on these cliché behaviors for special protection? As far as I am concerned, the moment we start trying to develop “reasonable woman” guidelines is the very moment “reason” was eliminated from the search.

Gay Penguin Converts to Heterosexuality
New York City's most famous gay penguin couple has split up.Years of Gay propaganda down the tubes.Even worse, one of them has taken up with a female penguin new to the Central Park Zoo (search), the New York Post reports.
Silo and Roy, two male chinstrap penguins (search) native to the South Atlantic, made local headlines six years ago when they came out with their same-sex relationship.
Since then, the pair have successfully hatched and raised an adopted chick — after trying to incubate a rock — and become role models for six other same-sex couples among penguins at the zoo.
That all ended when Scrappy, a single female newly arrived from SeaWorld in San Diego, caught Silo's eye.
"Silo and Roy stopped spending as much time together or building a nest," said John Rowden, curator of animals at the zoo.
Silo promptly moved in with Scrappy, building a new nest with her. Zookeepers were at a loss to explain Silo's sudden conversion.
The traitor.

Anti-Rape Condom Sports HOOKS!!
Let me begin by saying OUCH!!!!
Now that we have that out of the way let me say serves them right.
A South African inventor unveiled a new anti-rape female condom on Wednesday that hooks onto an attacker's penis and aims to cut one of the highest rates of sexual assault in the world.
Ehlers said the "rapex" hooks onto the rapist's skin, allowing the victim time to escape and helping to identify perpetrators.Not sure I want to see it though. I keep expecting to see someone invent a guillotine anti-rape device. That or the lemon slicer."He will obviously be too pre-occupied at this stage," she told reporters in Kleinmond, a small holiday village about 100km (60 miles) east of Cape Town. "I promise you he is going to be too sore. He will go straight to hospital."
The device, made of latex and held firm by shafts of sharp barbs, can only be removed from the man through surgery which will alert hospital staff, and ultimately, the police, she said.

The Left Discovers Katherine Harris has Boobs
Like Michelle Malkin I too have been marveling at the dismissal of Katherine Harris by the left over her appearance. I can understand it in an offhanded sense but this is to the exclusion of all else. Back in 2000 during the recount it was over her makeup, today it's all about her boobs. At this point I have no real idea what her political positions are because her website is woefully lacking in details. Rumor is she is a staunch conservative in a race against RINOs. If so I wish her well. That said I am not going to pretend to be outraged by the response on the left. The left has always been more about winning then principle.
The left will rant and rave about the evil objectification of women but they don't really believe it or stand by it. The men on the left are sexist pigs objectifying women and the women on the left are jealous shrews ripping and shredding any competition. When the fight gets tough the tough get dirty.
Hillary took a beating about being fat and the left cried foul. But discussions about Hillary’s policies were never far behind (no pun intended). Harris on the other hand draws a special kind of ridicule. The kind usually reserved for Linda Tripp. Arguably these two have done more damage to the democratic faithful then anyone else. My guess is when talking about them the left leaning mind fills with so much rage they can't come up with an intelligent criticism so they go into a sort of third grade insult mode and attack appearances. It's just a shame that this behavior totally undermines their feminist orthodoxy and makes them look and act like drunken patrons of a strip bar.
Michelle has an excellent collection of examples here.

13-Year-Old Boy to Become a Girl
In an application supported by his parents, the Sydney boy recently won the court's permission to take puberty-blocking chemicals to stop developing an adult male's body.
His lawyer, Rachael Wallbank, says the next step is to take oestrogen at 16 to feminise the body with the option of having sex-change surgery after turning 18.The case follows the Family Court's precedent-setting decision last year to allow a 13-year-old girl, "Alex", to become a boy.
But the decisions have created controversy with some doctors and ethicists claiming the teenagers are too young to make such decisions and the court should not be approving them.The slippery slope of mixed signals is here.Bio-ethicist Dr Nicholas Tonti-Filippini said allowing teenagers to change sex was horrendous and defied psychiatric opinion that indicated they often regretted the decision later.
"It's bad enough for young people in their 20s but to see that happening to children is quite horrific," Dr Tonti-Filippini told The Sunday Telegraph last week.

Gay fruit flies?
I have always wondered why there has been such a fevered effort to prove that homosexuality is a genetic defect (though I know they prefer not to think of it that way) much like what amorphodites suffer as though this would finally prove you had no control. All people are obviously predisposed to suffer certain weaknesses in life. What sets us apart is our ability to overcome them.
I personally think there is a genetic predisposition for homosexuality as well as many other behaviors. After all, the obvious behavioral stereotypes have to come from somewhere. And please don't pretend those stereotypes have no basis in reality. To deny that is to deny a genetic predisposition. Either there is a genetic factor in behavior or there is not.
The sight of an unthinking female insect trying to mate with another female insect should be obvious evidence of the absurdity of homosexuality being a natural and especially a normal state when you consider it would be a first class ticket to extinction.
When the genetically altered fruit fly was released into the observation chamber, it did what these breeders par excellence tend to do. It pursued a waiting virgin female. It gently tapped the girl with its leg, played her a song (using wings as instruments) and, only then, dared to lick her - all part of standard fruit fly seduction.So what does this mean when my male dog humps my leg? Does this mean we humans are as simple and genetically controlable as fruit flies? More important, what happens if a genetic predisposition is discovered and it can be detected in prenatal screening, especially since we see this kind of screening used more and more to abort babies for birth defects. More here. I am sure we will visit this issue again in the future.One gene, apparently by itself, creates patterns of sexual behavior in fruit flies.
The observing scientist looked with disbelief at the show, for the suitor in this case was not a male, but a female that researchers had artificially endowed with a single male-type gene.
Personally I like Scrapplefaces' take "Fruit Flies Prove Homosexuality Caused by Scientists"

Sex education of the future?
Everyone is familiar with sex education that attempts to remove moral judgements, but what if it started to advise that anything goes and started to indoctrinate our children about which church denominations were "right thinking" as well? Thankfully this was struck down, but what about next time?
Montgomery County Public Schools won't be able to force a controversial, one-sided sex-education curriculum on area students, at least not this school year. A federal judge, Alexander Williams, Jr., a Clinton appointee, has issued a temporary restraining order against the curriculum, saying it imperils parents' and childrens' First Amendment and Establishment Clause rights. It's heartening that a Clinton appointee in one of the country's most liberal counties can see a constitutionally suspect program of indoctrination for what it is, and move to make Montgomery County take its responsibilities to parents and students more seriously.Or my favorate line.
The problem was widespread throughout the curriculum, even going so far as to endorse certain churches over others. In some sections, the curriculum attempts to portray some churches' views as theologically sound and others as unsound.Or
From a common-sense perspective, this ruling is a huge relief. This sex-ed curriculum teaches children, among other things, that "morality is a more subjective issue." Elsewhere, it teaches that people "form a variety of [sexual] relationships lasting from one night to many years," an apparent blind eye to promiscuity. It's worth noting the inspiration for such moral obtuseness: At least in part, it comes from Alfred C. Kinsey. Kinsey is the sex researcher who once declined to report a pedophile to police. In the words of columnist John Leo, the pedophile "kept detailed records of his child rapes, including those of a baby of 5 months and a 4-year-old he sexually manipulated for 24 hours." Kinsey and his supporters saw nothing wrong with this. The curriculum calls his research "landmark."
