More Evidence. Parents Do Not Let Your Kids Read These Books.
Hey folks,
Again, I just brought up the moral decline in this country. I pointed out the direct connection between this moral decline and the rise in crime. I know, some of my Liberal friends HATE it whenever I talk about this topic. But it IS the truth.
Well, "Dick and Jane" have a whole new meaning now. To make matters worse, these two new books are being offered by the American Medical Association. That’s right, the AMA is offering these books that they want you to give willingly to your young child, and have them read this garbage.
In two new books "Girl's Guide to Becoming a Teen" and "Boy's Guide to Becoming a Teen," the AMA tells kids that masturbation is healthy, that penis size doesn't matter, that gay sex is normal and oral sex is really sex. Yes, you no longer have to share this information with your kids, they will do it for you.
I love what the AMA says,
"This comprehensive, reliable guide to a topic both parents and teachers sometimes have difficulty discussing with children, is presented in a simple, easy-to-read format with fun two-color layout and illustrations,"
Porn for kiddies? Fun two color layout and illustrations?? Before you know it folks, even though they say, they have no plans to market the books to school systems at this time, but yet say, both parents and TEACHERS, just wait. If enough of you do not spend the $12.95 at the book stores or off their website, OR if some bleeding heart Left Wing Looney decides that this is a good thing for you and your family, it WILL be in the schools.
According to the AMA's president, J. Edward Hill, M.D.
"These books are tremendous resources for preteens and parents of preteens who are looking for reliable medical information to help their children through puberty."
I have a better one Doc. It’s called Parents. I have to say, if this was not written for and marketed for kids 12 and under, this would be laughable. Here is some of what you will see in the books. Chapters like "Welcome to Puberty," "Your Reproductive System - Inside and Out," "Erections, Wet Dreams and Masturbation" and "What About Sex,". Now I know, it’s the AMA. So of course they include in these books also discussions about health, hygiene, dieting, feelings, and relationships. Ok, I have to ask, what does the AMA have to do with teaching kids sex, feelings, and relationships? Nothing.
You have to remember the AMA, specifically Hill himself, opposed the administration's abstinence only education policy. This is not much of a stretch being that sex, I guess, could fall under "medical", but this is also the same AMA that has become an advocate of gun control, claiming that such efforts could reduce gun related injuries.
Anyone with even an infinitesimal amount of intelligence can see that the AMA, and it’s President, have become nothing more than a vehicle of the LWL {that’s Left Wing Looneys for those that do not understand abbreviations}. These books are meant to in doctorate our youth into accepting things that should be up to the Parents to teach.
You, as an adult, do have to find some of the stuff in these books humorous. Like when it tells little boys that they should not "masturbate so much that you don't have time for other things, like spending time with your friends, or enjoying your hobbies." I’m not making this stuff up folks.
Sorry Mr. Hill, to me this sounds like porn for kiddies in guise of Aesculapian education. Complete with "fun two color layout and illustrations". This is merely a tool to further the LWL and "anything goes" agenda.
For any of you who are parents, trust me on this one, keep them away from these books. Selling sex to 11 or 12 year olds is just plain idiotic, and does not help the moral decline. When your kid or kids are ready, you will know, and YOU should talk to them about it.

Hey Anne Maire,
"Peter,
Do you have the full text of the AMA article/press release/whatever you quoted from regarding these books?”
I’m not sure if I still have the article that I read this in or not. I WILL check. I say all the time I’m going to keep “The stack” for this very reason, in case someone asks. I do for a while then I slack off again. I will diploid my efforts again from this point on. But I will check for you.
"Reason I ask is that something tells me the intent of the AMA is for parents to read these books WITH their kids, not just hand them to the kids in lieu of having conversation."
Also looking at the picture you will see that it IS meant for the children to read it themselves. It is fashioned to appeal to kids. If they had meant it to be a guide for parents to talk with them about this, they would have said so.
"I'm posting both here and at your blog because who knows what's gonna happen to the conversations in progress here."
Good point. As you can see some of the normal stuff IS going on. Fubars has resorted to Right Wing Rants etc, many are going for the Masterbation jokes etc. You know. The Norm there from time to time.
On my THIRD Cup of coffee tonight, third pot for the day. My day started today at 4:30am.
Feel free to comment anytime here. As you can see I post new stuff nearly daily. If you truly want to debate, talk about, agree with, whatever, without all the other stuff, just stop by.
Peter
