Talking About Touching

Someone sent me a link to a website that has sample lessons from the "Talking About Touching Program" at http://www.primaryeducators.org/lessons.php. As some of you may know, Talking About Touching is the anti-abuse course aimed at children, while VIRTUS, is the anti-abuse course aimed at adults.

One word came to mind after reading the TAT sample lessons--"appalling." Way too much detail for the target ages. I can easily imagine situations where children first exposure to deviant sexual ideas would be through this program.

Not surprisingly, Planned Parenthood and Gay Rights organizations whole-heartedly endorse these programs. If these programs come our way, I think we all should be ready to say, "no," in a loud, firm voice, just like they tell the little kids to do when someone tries to molest them.
