Moms sound off against sexually graphic books in elementary school

MONTREAL — Two mothers have launched a website to warn parents about sexually explicit books lining shelves in elementary-school libraries.

Monique and Nicole are using fake names on the website to avoid possible reprisals by their Montreal school.

Monique founded the site after her 11-year-old daughter brought home a book entitled L'Enchanteur (The Enchanter), a book aimed at teenagers.

One explicit passage read: "my breasts touched his body. His mouth kisses them greedily. His legs around mine and I feel his well-hardened penis."

The book in question was later removed from the library, but both women told QMI Agency that the school continues to stock other books that include graphic sexual content.  (more...)

'BBC staff ignored up to 1,000 attacks on children by predatory DJ Jimmy Savile' according to new damning report

BBC staff disregarded up to 1,000 allegations of child rape and sexual assault on the corporation's premises by predatory DJ Jimmy Savile, according to a damning review published next month.

The inquiry, led by Dame Janet Smith, will also claim that the true number of Savile's victims may never be known and that BBC executives were aware of the allegations, but consistently failed to take any action against the late Top Of The Pops presenter.

While due for publication this month, Smith's report has been delayed until February due to the large number of victim testimonies being examined.

An unnamed source close to the inquiry told The Observer that the report's conclusions will overshadow the investigation led by Nick Pollard, former head of Sky News, which sought to uncover why the BBC dropped its Newsnight programme on the Savile allegations.

The source said: 'It will go right to the heart of how Savile was able to get away with the most heinous of crimes under the very noses of BBC staff for more than 40 years.'

Smith, a former court of appeal judge, will also highlight the sheer scale of BBC employees who knew about Savile's behaviour, as well as his colleague, Stuart Hall, but remained silent.  (more...)

Public health board provides graphic sex resources for teachers

Toronto’s public health agency developed graphic sex education resources to assist teachers in delivering Ontario’s health and physical education curriculum, The Interim has discovered. Toronto Public Health’s website contains three sets of lesson plans: Teaching Puberty: You Can Do It! for Grades 5 to 6, Grade 7/8 Sexual Health Curriculum, and High School Sexual Health Curriculum for grades 9 to12. There is also a set of training videos intended for Grade 4-6 teachers.

The lesson plans, which include curriculum, videos, and pamphlets, are part of Public Health’s “Sexual Health Resources for Teachers” under its Healthy Schools initiative.  (more...)

Toronto School Board Promotes Sexual Perversion and Promiscuity

Are We Accomplices?

Two seemingly unrelated stories caught my eye recently.  One story, by a lifestyle editor for Salon, focused on what she considered to be the sad state of sexual education in our country.  The other was a UPI story about a former marine who was given a life sentence for sexually abusing his two toddler children . . . with the full cooperation and participation of his wife, the mother of the young boy and girl.

The common thread in these two stories is the underlying attitude about sex.  The main characters in both articles—the so-called sex experts in the Salon article, and the former marine and his wife in the UPI article—view sex solely and amorally as an opportunity for self-gratification, for physical pleasure.

Writing for Salon, Katie McDonough rips into the failure of schools to teach what she considers to be basic sex education to public school students.  She points both to non-existent sex education in some jurisdictions and faulty sex education in others.  In her mind, counselling abstinence is particularly contemptible.

Searching for a solution for these defects, McDonough sought tips from Salon’s “favorite sex writers and sex educators.”  She sought the advice of Ruth Neustifter, sexuality educator and Assistant Professor of Couple & Family Therapy at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada; Joshua Rosenberger, assistant professor of global and community health at George Mason University; Rich Juzwiak, staff writer at Gawker; and Feminista Jones, sex-positive Black feminist, social worker and blogger (I’m not making this up).

Instead of leaving sex education to parents, or teaching abstinence in school, this body of experts came up with some better suggestions of what should be taught, presumably suggestions they have been promoting in other venues.  (more...)

BBC 'edited out footage of DLT groping girl of 17'

The BBC edited out images that showed Dave Lee Travis molesting
a 17-year-old girl during the filming of Top Of The Pops

The BBC edited out images that showed Dave Lee Travis molesting a 17-year-old girl during the filming of Top Of The Pops, it was claimed in court yesterday.

Footage of the presenter groping the teenager on a June 1978 episode of the music programme was ‘shrunk’ as if  to get rid of the offending scenes, a  jury was told.

As Travis introduced a novelty song by The Smurfs, with a female audience member on either side of him, he slipped his hand up one girl’s skirt and ‘had a fumble’ of her bottom, it was alleged.

The presenter then tried to force his hand into the teenager’s underwear, making her feel ‘violated’, the jury heard.

But when Top Of The Pops was broadcast later that week, the clip had been cut just as the sexual assault began, it was claimed.

Giving evidence from behind a curtain  yesterday, the alleged victim said that if viewers had seen all the footage it would have been ‘quite obvious’ that she was being sexually assaulted.  (more...)

More than 100 Brits believed to be involved in massive international paedophile gang

The inquiry was prompted when
Northamptonshire Police visited
registered sex offender Timothy Ford

A paedophile ring which streamed live child abuse from the Philippines has been shut-down after British police joined forces with Australian and US investigators.

Police have said 17 Britons have so far been arrested as part of Operation Endeavour, which has spanned 12 countries and has seen involvement from police in the UK, Australia and the US.

The inquiry was prompted when Northamptonshire Police visited registered sex offender Timothy Ford and began tracking the international abuse network from obscene videos they found on his computer.

Three other investigations are taking place into live streaming of child sex abuse, with 139 Britons among the 733 suspects.

The National Crime Agency has said it is investigating what it calls 'a significant and emerging threat', particularly in developing countries.

Andy Baker, from the NCA, said: 'This investigation has identified some extremely dangerous child sexual offenders who believed paying for children to be abused to order was something they could get away with.  (more...)
