Norway: Debate Over “Sex Play” in Kindergarten. Wait, What?….

You can’t make this stuff up.  Liberal academia is certainly not exclusive to the US….

Norwegians woke up Tuesday morning to news that a respected Oslo pre-school teacher, backed by child psychologists, thinks children should be allowed to openly express their own sexuality, not least through sex play and games in the local day care centers known as barnehager, or kindergartens.

Pia Friis, leader of the popular Bjerkealleen Barnehage in Oslo and a well-known pre-school educator, told newspaper Dagbladet on Tuesday that children should be allowed to express their own sexuality at day care centers. She doesn’t want to stifle what comes naturally.

Children, she said, should be able "to look at each other and examine each other’s bodies. They can play doctor, play mother and father, dance naked and masturbate.

"But their sexuality must also be socialized, so they are not, for example, allowed to masturbate while sitting and eating. Nor can they be allowed to pressure other children into doing things they don’t want to." (at least my 5 year old won’t be jerking off and eating paste at the same time, now I feel better -ed.)

Update by Jay: Hey weaselzipper! America isn’t too far behind!

Students who have parental permission to be treated at King Middle School’s health center would be able to get birth control prescriptions under a proposal that the Portland School Committee will consider Wednesday.

The proposal would build on the King Student Health Center’s practice of providing condoms as part of its reproductive health program since it opened in 2000, said Lisa Belanger, a nurse practitioner who oversees the city’s student health centers.

If the committee approves the King proposal, it would be the first middle school in Maine to make a full range of contraception available to some students in grades 6 to 8, said Nancy Birkhimer, director of teen health programs for the Maine Department of Health and Human Services. Most middle schoolers are ages 11-13.

Allahpundit picks up on this one too.

    It’s a good thing I don’t have any children in the schools of America. I’d pull them out of public school and teach them at home rather than subject them to the ludicrous teachings of American schools today. They can teach Muslim history, but don’t schedule American history any longer I’m told. Haven’t checked it out yet, but will today. When is the government going to take over giving birth to our children as well?

    This is appalling!! What is wrong with those people. Let kids
    be kids. Childhood is such short time in one´s life. More and
    more kids are being pushed into adulthood at early age. Children
    are not allowed to work, and rightly so. So why are they being
    allowed to explore sex? This can only lead to more child
    pregnancies and either unwanted births or abortions. All of
    which creates misery and poverty.

    Barbarians! Sick paedophiles, taking away the innocence of children.This would be hideous even with adults.The preschool teacher belongs in jail.Most of us who had innocent childhoods have grown up happy and healthy.I am so glad I do not live there…if it happens here, I will leave.No notion of the sacred….evil.

    Hokey Smokes, this is WAY crazy! I doubt it’ll last very long, but if it does, I for one will be very curious to see (sadly enough) the long term effects on the children. Just glad my son isn’t part of such a bizarre lab test! I wonder what will happen when this phenom collides with the commonplace web-accessible cameras that are almost ubiquitous now, enabling parents to check on their kids from work! Sounds like freaky kiddie porn to me! One can debate whether experiencing sexual intimacy pre-maritally is appropropriate, or even under 18 years old. But 5 years old? I don’t know any single non-sicko that would think that is a prudent idea….

    this is sick. has anyone read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley?
    What is wrong with people? These are babies. They’re supposed to be innocent.
    They’re supposed to play ring around the rosy & duck,duck, goose not sex.
    Mrs. Friis is a pedophile & should be fired a.s.a.p.

    “has anyone read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley?”

    My sentiments exactly. I just listened to the audio book not to long ago and it is shocking
    how spot on he was about predicting the consequences of a Godless technically advanced society.
