I would imagine that such a “game” is happening here, in liberal California. Have there bee reports of this happening around the country or is this an isolated case?

The quotation from the mother of the girl who is making money selling the “sex bracelets” to classmates is priceless:

“I want the school to know what’s going on with the kids and put a stop to it.”

This, of course, at Holy Jesus, a Catholic school.

In a recent parent-to-headmaster meeting at my children’s evangelical Christian school, I raised the issue of enforcement of the school’s anti-Britney Spears dress code. The headmaster mentioned that a mother actually told him once, “I wish someone would do something about my daughter’s dress.”

As Mr. Auster said, what comment is needed?

I can’t help but wonder if a lot of this is more talk than actual action.
“Hey! I know something we can tell our parents that wil shock them!”

This is a natural extension of the sexual revolution. It was only a matter of time before it filtered down to 11 year old girls.

The article does note that the kids are not actually performing the acts (at least to the knowledge of the adults, I suppose). It seems that in the modern age instead of playing House to pretend to be like adults these children play Orgy to pretend to be like adults.

Thanks to Matt for pointing that out. The caveat only appears near the end the article:

“Although Megan says that neither she nor any friends of hers are actually having sex, she is savvy to all the graphic sex terms and the corresponding colors.”

I had read that earlier and interpreted it to mean that only Megan and her friends were not engaging in the activity, not that no one was. In any case, the entire article gives the impression that these activities are going on, then it throws in this ambiguous correction near the end.

The NY Post does not have a single minimally competent reporter on their staff. Post reporters just throw stuff up on their computer screen and publish it. And that’s the way most papers are today.

Doubtful. An 11 year old is likely not going to admit what she does sexually to a NY Post reporter.

I’m with Mark. I suspect the wordly-wise Megan snookered the Postbabe and Postboy. Or perhaps they let themselves be had because some things are too horrible to contemplate… Mr. Auster is right too. What better comment on what a dump New York City has become than to list all its newspapers (at least there is still more than one) and realize that not one is any good: Times, Post, Daily News, WS Journal, Newsday, Sun. The Observer is amusing, but Leftist beyond belief. HRS

Mr. Sutherland left out the NY Press. Is that still published? It had a few sensible columnists several years ago.

They sent me a year’s worth free of charge, but I always had to fold it carefully while reading it on the bus, what with all the erotic ads blaring out.

Wow! What can I tell you, this is great! I am sure when you were kids, boys, all you were thinking about were such bracelets.

Let the kids play, I say. Better educated now, than becoming some deprived sex monsters later in life.

Mr. Bartal’s neo-Freudian take on the story is interesting. Throughout most of human history, children of such an age were not engaging in open sex games. Did the majority of human beings prior to the 20th century become “deprived sex monsters”? Or, is it forbidden for a liberal to learn anything from history that might disturb modern rationalizations?

This was an urban legend that only took root because the press reported it as true, you nitwit. This is an old, old story.

Posters will not engage in name-calling against other posters at this site. You can say that a poster’s opinions are wrong, off-base, even, on extreme provocation, stupid. But you cannot call another poster names. There is no all-purpose formula to decide in all cases when someone has crossed the line; I may have crossed it myself occasionally. But calling another poster a nitwit is clearly over the line.

Also, as this is a _traditionalist_ website, I encourage people to use ordinary human names, consisting of either a first and last name, or just a first name (whether real name or pseudonym), not the kind of extragavant, pop-cultural noms de plume that are common at most websites, such as TexasBabe, X-man, and so on.

Look at it this way. If you were attending a public debate, and stood up to make a point from the floor, would you introduce yourself as “Captain America,” and expect the other people present to refer to you as “Captain America”? Of course not. And it’s the same here. I know it sounds weird to some people. But VFR is just different from other websites in that way.

Captain America is right about one thing—-the ‘sex bracelet’ is a right-wing urban legend. I don’t know what’s more laughable: the hysterical puritians who are shocked—-SHOCKED!—-to discover that preteens have sexual thoughts, or the idea that a middle-aged Post reporters fluent in the “secret code” of fifth grade girls.

I think that Captain America and Dopn Myers are right. I am very skeptical of this claim that ten year olds are having wild orgies or performing acts on each other. I think that someone wanted a snesational story.
btw, I do have a nom de plume, Glaivester, that I use on other sites.
I just mentioned that in case anyone comes across me on other posting boards.
