Hello Groomer

 no, not the naive activists lamenting in the headlines that they can't push their agenda without the bluenosed bigots objecting: but the real predators who are ready, willing, and able to exploit the children whose natural defenses against being sexually touched or used have been weakened by such teaching.

but by exposing immature children to distorted sexual ideas instead of teaching traditional ideas like self control, it makes them quite vulnerable to being exploited, not necessarily by the teachers, who often are innocent about such things, but by other predators who can spot vulnerable kids and abuse them.

Back when I was in medical school (late 1960s) the Freudian theory was that kids needed to be exposed to sexual knowledge at an early age so they wouldn't have hangups: And some of our psychiatric treachers even said it would be a good idea if they were introduced to sex by an older, sympathetic adult.

Later, when a TV film about incest was shown and talked about, I read in Newsweek that if docs and social workers found such incest, we should not report it because it would "break up" the family...

These ideas are getting pushed again now, but luckily for the public, there are a few honest reporters who note that there are indeed bad people out there...

I am talking about Netflix/BBC drama on Jimmy Saville:

No I haven't seen it yet, but the ReviewGeek has and his review is here.

Ultimately though, Jimmy Saville: A British Horror Story is not an easy watch. This is a documentary that’s going to leave a sour taste in the mouth and some of the victim stories are absolutely heart-breaking to listen to. There’s no fixing them and the disgusting red-ribboned medallions, claiming that Jim has done just that, feels now like a stomach churning joke at our expense. I’m not a religious man but if there is an afterlife, let’s hope Saville is rotting in the deepest recesses of Hell for his actions.

I have treated quite a few young girls who were groomed and abused by such sociopaths (back in the 1980s I was the only woman doc in town). And to my horror, when there was a TV movie about incest  on TV, I found to my horror quite a few of my patients (especially those who had been in foster homes) had suffered such abuse.

Sigh

But Ann Althouse quotes a WAPO reporter who seems to think that when a judge is lenient on a distributer of child porn, that such things shouldn't really be brought up... because politics.

well, maybe. But the lady was put up as a Supreme Court justice because of the colour of her skin, and my main objection is that she is the child of lawyers and probably has always lived inside the elite bubble, whereas I am a blueDog Democrat who objects to Karen types looking down on me for my blue collar background (something that was going on 50 years ago, by the way.)

so one suspects she might not be sensitive on how poor children, or children left unsupervised because of an economy that requires the parent to work long hours, can easily be exploited by the predators in our midst.

Sigh. 

As for the kerfuffle in Florida: Well, the modern woke religion has an anthopology of individual choice that is diametrically opposed to traditional religions, who posit that the Lord made us male and female and invented something called a family in order to beget and nurture the childen who are given to us.

So my main objection is that a teacher has no more right to proclaim his sexuality to students any more than he has the right to proclaim his belief in Jesus Christ as his personal savior.

And having the US embassies push the woke ideology is not making friends in conservative Christian/Islamic/Confucian cultures.

We have baclas/tomboys and cross dressers, but you know, they are considered just part of the family; but in most areas, they don't dare prey on kids for fear of getting shot.

on the other hand, the exploitation of street kids of both sexes by sexual predators is an ongoing problem here: we tend to be the world leader in cyberporn of children.

So, judge: do you want to talk to a couple of the Filipino girls and boys whose drug addled or maybe just very poor parents rent them out to be exploited on camera for rich white folks in Europe and America?

from 2016 report

.. 

also an older 2014 report from AlJ: . 

a more recent case in an Australian documentary...,,,,

and with the lockdowns and increase in poverty/unemployment from Covid, I suspect that these cases have skyrocketed.

Sigh.

update: Newsweek actually permitted an editorial opinion that points out how the very real worries of parents over their children's indoctrination is being ignored or distorted by the MSM.

 Instead of speaking with upset parents, journalists chose to dismiss them again and again—and even worse, they chose to tell them that what they are seeing it isn't really there. The mainstream media apparatus prefers gaslighting instead of investigating, especially when it involves the concerns of working-class people, speaking as if we are too dumb to understand concepts, speaking for us instead of with us and then gaslighting us when step out of line.
