What are we doing to our children? Today, children are told—starting at 3 or 4 years old—that we don’t really know if they are a boy or a girl. The doctor just guessed based on their appearance when they were born. Over the next few years, they are told, it is up to the child to discover if they are a boy, a girl, non-binary, fluid, or something else altogether.
Seventy years ago, it was a lot easier being a kid than it seems to be today. Seventy years ago, I knew I was a boy. Nobody told me that I might not be and that I would have to discover what I was.
In my childhood, we didn’t have a television. Families with TVs back then were rare, not that there were many shows on TV in the 50s. We played cards and board games, listened to records and the radio, and played outdoors—especially baseball and football. The batters didn’t have helmets, and we played tackle football without any equipment at all.
Children today are raised with TVs, smartphones, and the Internet as babysitters. They spend almost no time playing outside with other kids unless in organized sports activities. When they do, even in baseball, they are covered in protective equipment—batting helmets that extend to protect their jaw, foot guards, ankle shields, leg guards, elbow guards, chest protectors, mouth guards, and sliding mitts to protect the hand while sliding into base. When kids play football and hockey, they are covered head to toe in body armor, to the extent it’s a miracle they can still maneuver.
Seventy years ago, Mom and Dad were both in the home (and Mom was a biological female, Dad was a biological male). Today, more children in the U.S. live in single-parent homes than in any other country in the world.
According to Pew Research, that figure was 23% as of 2019, while in other countries, the average percentage was 7%. Those numbers appear to be increasing, however. A study released in December 2023, reported the number of children in single-parent homes in the U.S. increased to 28%.
These are some of the consequences of being raised in a single-parent household:
- “91% of America’s school shootings were executed by kids who come from broken homes.
- “About 45% of children from broken homes end up as teenage parents.
- “60% of American children born to unmarried mothers are likely to live in poverty.
- “Children from broken families are six times more likely to be abused.
- “Girls from broken homes are three times more likely to become teenage mothers.
- “Adolescents living in single-parent families are more likely to engage in delinquent behavior.
- “Students who come from broken homes perform lower academically than those from intact families.
- “Substance abuse is higher in teenagers from broken homes compared to those from intact families.”
The changes over the last seventy years have led to vastly increased confusion, anxiety, insecurity, and depression among children. Add the negative impact social media has had, it is easy to see why children are suffering.
Because of their emotional condition, children today are more vulnerable than ever.
Now we’ve also added sex to the mix of burdens piled on our children.
In 2011 the International Planned Parenthood Federation published “Exclaim! Young Peoples Guide to Sexual Rights: an IPPF Declaration.” Here’s an excerpt:
“Everyone is entitled to human rights simply for being human. Human rights cannot be taken away or given up from anyone, irrespective of their age, gender, ethnicity, race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, disability, HIV status or health status. . .
“[I]t is important to recognize that sexual rights are . . . equally important human rights for everyone, including young people.”
In other words, children have a right to engage in sexual activities just like anyone else. Alfred Kinsey, decades earlier, said much the same thing. This IPPF declaration led to the idea being adopted by several other UN organizations, including the World Health Organization. These “sexual rights” have been incorporated into the National Sex Education Standards published by the “Future of Sex Education Initiative,” which is a partnership of “Advocates for Youth,” “Answer,” and “SIECUS: Sex Ed for Social Change.”
As a result, this principle that children have a right to experience sexual pleasure whenever and with whomever they want—same and opposite sex—is becoming mainstream in sex education material being taught throughout this country and throughout the world. The idea has taken over the West and has made significant inroads in Africa, Asia, and South America.
Our whole culture has become so thoroughly sexualized that we hardly notice anymore. What used to be considered X-rated images and themes appear on broadcast TV during primetime. Scores of pornographic books are in school libraries and children’s sections of public libraries. Songs with the most suggestive, sometimes even the most explicit, lyrics are available 24/7 to people of all ages. The way people dress often leaves nothing to the imagination, even in churches.
Children are being raised in this. They notice, they learn, they participate in what’s been modeled to them. Their confusion, anxiety, and depression, combined with copying what they see, make them vulnerable.
Their vulnerability makes them targets for predators. And targets they have become.
Our sexualized culture, in general, already has desensitized children to all things sexual. The depraved sex ed being offered in many schools sets the children up for exploitation by peers, upperclassmen, and adults.
Our elected officials have made things even worse. The current administration is pushing for trans girls (who are really boys) to be allowed to use girls’ restrooms and locker rooms and to play on girls’ teams. Regardless of the sex education program, there is a nationwide effort to normalize sexual activity between underage children by focusing on “consent.” If teens (or children) are going to have sex, students are told in school the most important thing is to get consent.
Today, much of the child porn is generated by children themselves. The Internet Watch Foundation found in 2021 that “almost two-thirds (64,278) of the 100,616 web pages [containing child pornography] removed so far this year – contained ‘self-generated’ material.” Almost all of these images were produced by children “sexting” others. Shockingly, Planned Parenthood of Toronto produced educational literature to encourage children to engage in a variety of sex acts, including sexting. That literature was promoted by the LGBTQ+ Caucus of the National Education Association (NEA) at their annual meeting two years ago.
According to the NEA-endorsed Planned Parenthood literature, this is a verbatim outline of what should be taught to our children regarding sexting starting in middle school (instruction on anal, oral, BDSM, and other sexual activities also are included in the same document):
Sexting
Using a phone to text sexy conversations or images.
Serves: Any number
Ingredients:
Phone
Sexy vocabulary
Winky faces, emoticons in general
Privacy, if wanted
A s**t ton of consent
Substitutions/Suggestions:
Person 1: ‘hey babe’
Person 2: ‘hey I can’t wait to see you tonight!”
Person 1: ‘can’t wait to see what part of me ;)?’
Person 2: ‘I can’t wait to see your sexiness and kiss your neck’
Person 1: ‘mmm that sounds nice, I really like it when you kiss my neck and then…’
Notes: Can be super fun foreplay
Prep/Cook Time: Can be short or can be spaced out throughout the day or many days
Steps:
-
- Get consent from all parties
- Make sure you have the right number(s)!
- Start sexting
- Be creative
The NEA is the largest teacher’s union in the United States, with more than two million members.
Under federal law, sexting by or to anyone under 18 is illegal. State law in Illinois applies to anyone under 17, yet some teachers are perfectly comfortable promoting it.
Other elected officials are promoting it as well—school boards that allow this kind of material in schools, librarians who put this kind of obscene material and books in their collection and make it available to children, and village officials who endorse so-called pride events where nudity and lewd behavior are paraded. None of them could care less about protecting childhood innocence.
Then there are Congressmen like Eric Sorensen, a 48-year-old Democrat from Moline, IL. Sorensen is a first-term U.S. Representative who is a former meteorologist on ABC’s WQAD News 8 in the Quad Cities. He also is Illinois’ first openly LGBTQ Congressman.
Sorensen used to be a board member of a Rock Island LGBTQ+ Community Center, Clock, Inc., which was founded by a trans man (a woman), Chase Norris. Among other services, Clock, Inc., puts on Drag shows that are attended by adults and children. Drag shows are yet another way to desensitize children to vulgar sexual performances.
Sorensen backs these performances. According to Libs of TikTok:
“Sorensen has repeatedly defended drag shows as Republicans have sought to protect children from them. ’Republicans are feverishly trying to ban drag shows in Kentucky instead of making the schools, parks, and homes safer from gun violence. We have to fight this extremism,’ the Illinois Democrat wrote in February 2023.”
Sorensen, himself, enjoys dressing and performing in drag.
What do you think? Do you want our culture to continue on its current path? Or do you want to change it, as I do?
The problem is enormous, affecting every corner and every institution of the country.
It took decades to get where we are, and it will take decades to get back on the right course. The first step is to stop electing people like Eric Sorensen and the thousands like him on local school, library, and village boards, people who are entirely happy destroying childhood innocence.
Commit to the fight. Take back the culture.
