First there was the porn seminar in one private school. Now, a second school is teaching first graders about masturbation. But it’s okay because the parents are ignorant and the lesson never actually uses the word masturbation. Both of these indoctrinations can be linked to one teacher: Justine Ang Fonte.
It is interesting that a second part of this off-the-rails lesson is that children were also being taught that even their parents or grandparents should ask permission before giving the child a hug.
Parents at both schools were worried about complaining about the respective ‘lessons’ due to fears of being cancelled and harming their childrens’ futures.
The content of coursework for students is vitally important and it should not be hidden from the parents. I seem to recall at the beginning of the switch to online learning, many teachers were complaining and some school districts were demanding pledges from parents that they would not be involved in or watch their childrens’ classes.
A thought on this whole thing–isn’t it ‘grooming‘ behavior?
Victim selection: Abusers often observe possible victims and select them based on ease of access to them or their perceived vulnerability.
- Gaining access and isolating the victim: Abusers will attempt to physically or emotionally separate a victim from those protecting them and often seek out positions in which they have contact with minors.
- Trust development and keeping secrets: Abusers attempt to gain trust of a potential victim through gifts, attention, sharing “secrets” and other means to make them feel that that they have a caring relationship and to train them to keep the relationship secret.
- Desensitization to touch and discussion of sexual topics: Abusers will often start to touch a victim in ways that appear harmless, such as hugging, wrestling and tickling, and later escalate to increasingly more sexual contact, such as massages or showering together. Abusers may also show the victim pornography or discuss sexual topics with them, to introduce the idea of sexual contact.
- Attempt by abusers to make their behavior seem natural, to avoid raising suspicions. For teens, who may be closer in age to the abuser, it can be particularly hard to recognize tactics used in grooming. Be alert for signs that your teen has a relationship with an adult that includes secrecy, undue influence or control, or pushes personal boundaries.
