Arizona State U workshop on masturbation has been renamed

Arizona State University is nothing if not progressive -- more so than you would expect, being in Arizona and all. They have a wide variety of programmes, courses, seminars and special events, including a workshop coming up on February 13th.

"Go Love Yourself" is a workshop on the art and science of masturbation, originally titled "Go Fuck Yourself". The event will cover topics of sexual self-gratification such as, errr, masturbation. It will feature a training session from Natalie Treacy, who is described in the Facebook posting for the workshop as a "pleasure professional".

The full text of the FB page reads as follows: "Getting in touch with yourself by touching yourself. Join pleasure professional Natalie Treacy for a shame-free, pleasure focused discussion about masturbation and self exploration to get the pleasure you want and deserve."

The event is part of the ASU undergraduate student government's series on the topic of sexuality in recent history. Last November, they organized a lecture titled "The Sex Ed You Deserve" in co-operation with the Ontario Ministry of Education. [Ed., please check that before posting. There's going to be an election in Ontario in the spring and I wouldn't want to slur Kathleen Wynne's government by suggesting that they are deliberately teaching autoeroticism and other progressive perversions.] In addition to these events, they hired a Director of Sexual Wellbeing to oversee all matters relating to sexuality on campus. Now, there's a job for you. Wonder how many thousand applicants they had?

But wait (as Vince Offer used to say), there's more! In addition to the Director of Sexual Wellbeing, the Arizona State student government has announced plans to create another advisory position -- the Director of Intimacy and Healthy Relationships, who will oversee issues of intimacy and healthy relationships on campus.

This a joke, right? Satire created by The People's Cube? Not at all! Doubters are welcome to consult the student government's website, which claims that the director's active participation in discussions surrounding sexuality will help prevent sexual violence on campus. "By bridging the gap between sexual assault and other topics such as gender identity, birth control, or STI prevention and testing, we have the power to positively affect intimacy on our campus," is what the blurb says. You couldn't make this stuff up.

Note from Ed.: This announcement is presented by Walt Whiteman's World as a public service. If the picture accompanying this message is not the Natalie Treacy, we apologize, and will delete it just as soon as the facilitator send us her photo. I'm still looking into the involvement of the Ontario Ministry of Education, though.

UPDATED: Toronto school board blinks on sex ed curriculum

Well, maybe not the Ontario Ministry of Education (Lez Sandals, prop.) so much as the Toronto District School Board, more particularly Thorncliffe Park Public School, in the heart of Toronto's Muslim ghetto. In theory at least, Muslims take a dim view of homosexuality, gender fluidity, masturbation and the other perversions being inculcated into the minds of children as young as six (6) by the Liberal government's new sex education curriculum.

Regular readers of WWW will remember that when the curriculum was reintroduced -- after being shelved by then-premier Dalton McGuinty following an outcry from some religious groups -- it was hailed by Ms Sandals and her boss, proudly lesbian Premier Kathleen Wynne, as a necessary update for decades-old materials that did not address "the realities of children’s lives today". The ladies (?) recognized, though, that there would be opposition to the curriculum's pro-queer agenda. Ms Sandals said "I anticipate there will be members of various religions who may object to one thing or another...but the curriculum is the curriculum that will be taught in Ontario schools."

Well yes... unless the objectors happen to be Muslims. It's OK to push immoral nonsense into the Catholic schools, because the Catholics themselves don't know what to believe any more. But no bien pensant Canadian politician wants to offend Muslims! So there was much soiling of silks at Queen's Park last September when hundreds of Muslim kids were kept out of Thorncliffe Park PS in protest against the very explicit material which is to be taught.

Fast forward to this week, when the first lessons in anatomy were due to be taught. The curriculum calls for children in Grade 1 -- yes, Grade 1, age 6 -- to be taught the correct names for what Mr. Bookman* called "peepees" and "weewees" and "wawas". Thorncliffe Park Principal Jeff Crane told the meeja today that because "a number of parents" (sounds better than "hundreds") had concerns about their children being taught the words "penis" and "vagina", the school decided to offer a class where teachers covered the key issue of inappropriate touching without being specific about body parts. The idea, the educator said, was to keep kids in school this week and at least learn some of the curriculum.

"We let parents know ahead of time when the health strands for human development were being taught and, for Grade 1, that there would be one lesson where there would be discussion of body parts," he said. "They were told if learning the names of genitalia was a concern, they could write me a letter requesting a religious accommodation."

What Mr. Crane did not say was that (1) almost all of the parents requesting the "religious accomodation" are Muslim, and (2) Thorncliffe Park Public School is located in the riding represented by Premier Wynne. No pressure, then. Yet Mr. Crane held 20 sessions with more than 650 parents to go over the curriculum and to "counter misinformation circulating in the community".

In the result, about 60% of Thorncliffe Park's 300 Grade 1 students were taught the explicit curriculum, with the remaining 40% getting what Mr. Crane called "the sanitized version". Will the same choice be extended to parents at other schools in places like Markham (high concentration of Chinese) or Mississauga and Brampton (predominantly south Asian)? And what about the Catholics who are asking for the new curriculum to be adjusted to teach "sex education from a Catholic perspective"? Will any further changes be made to the liberal secular humanist propaganda? Stay tuned!

TX animal lover arrested for 3rd time for sex with horses

News comes to Walt's corner of the woods slowly and circuitously. Sometimes we wouldn't know anything without the intervention of our worldwide web of Agents and, of course, the ever-growing number of websites devoted to weird stuff. The following story out of TX came to Walt's notice on the website of The Independent.

Cirilo Castillo Junior, a 45-year-old resident of Edinburg TX [not far from Lopezville. Ed.] is an animal lover. Like 1000s of athletic teenage girls, he is particularly fond of horses. Too much so, according to the Hidalgo County sheriff, who arrested him on February 17th for trying to have carnal relations with a mare... for the third time!

At about 7 that morning, Mr. Castillo was found injured in a barn by the horse's owner, who was feeding her animals. He claimed he had been hit by a car and had crawled to the barn for shelter. When taken to the hospital, he was found to have suffered a broken leg. However, sheriff's deputies believe he was actually kicked by a horse.

The owner of the barn had warned Mr. Castillo to keep away after he had been arrested and serving time for having sex with her horses. Twice! He has now been charged with criminal trespass and, if convicted, could be sent to the hoosegow for up to 180 days. Getting a conviction will be a problem, however, since the victim is in denial and hasn't said anything except "Nay! Nay!" [Stop making things up! Ed.]

There is also the question of how Mr. Castillo, who stands a little over five feet tall, could have mounted a 14-hand mare. Perhaps he stood on a stool. Investigators are wondering who put him up to it! [Second warning. Ed.]

The Independent article says the most common reasons for engaging in "zoophilic relationships" were attraction to animals out of a desire for affection, and a sexual attraction toward and/or a love for animals.

A study surveying 93 zoophiles (82 males and 11 females) showed that only 12% said they engaged in sex with animals because there were no human partners available, and only 7% said it was because they were too shy to have sex with humans. Only 8% of males wanted to stop having sex with animals and none of the females did.

This story has aroused considerable interest in the Ontario Ministry of Education, which is revising its new pro-queer sex education curriculum to include zoophilia as one of the understandable and permissible lifestyle choices about which pre-pubescent children should be told before heading out for the riding academy. [OK. That's it! Ed.] 

Pedophile "educator" gets what's coming to him, but his influence lingers

Walt was pleased to hear from Agent 3, a few minutes ago, that Dr. Benjamin Levin -- the Ontario "educator" who was convicted of three kiddy porn offences (out of seven with which he was originally charged) -- has been handed a sentence of three (3) years in the federal rock hockey arena.

Those who don't remember Dr. Levin did can catch up by reading "Lesbian premier of Ontario pretends not to notice as pervert who drafted new sex ed curriculum pleads guilty to kiddy porn charges" and "Pervert responsible for Ontario sex ed curriculum claimed he had sex with pre-teen daughters, court hears".

In that second headline is the reason why every Ontario parent should be concerned. Dr. Levin may be on his way to prison, but his philosophy on sex and morality -- "you can't get children into sex too soon!" -- pervades Ontario's new pro-queer sex education curriculum, which he had a hand in drafting while he was the province's deputy education minister.

Lest you think I'm being unfair in characterizing the good doctor's attitude to kids and sex as immoral and perverted, consider what he admitted to and was punished for: possession of child porn (6 months), making child porn (12 months) and counselling to commit sexual assault (18 months).

During his trial, the court heard that Dr. Levin used to frequent online forums for the discussion of sexual activities with children. In some online conversations, he claimed to have sexually abused each of his daughters. And, while chatting with women posing as being interested in sexual activities with children, he counselled them to get their children started at as early an age if possible. Yes, even if it hurt.

In sentencing the old pervert, Judge Heather McArthur said, "Mr. Levin [sic] ...had a hidden dark side. Unbeknownst to his friends, colleagues and family, he had become deeply immersed in a deviant and depraved online world." She ruled that, for five years, Levin can't go to public parks, pools, daycares and schools unless he's supervised by someone over 21 years of age who knows of his conviction. His use of internet will be limited and he cannot work with children under 16 again. He was ordered to provide a sample of his DNA for the sex offender registry and will be registered for life.

Dr. Levin was arrested in July 2013 when a search warrant was executed at his Toronto home. At the time of his arrest, he was a faculty member at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. He previously served as Manitoba's deputy minister of education. He went on to serve as deputy education minister in Ontario and was in that position when Ontario's proudly lesbian premier, Kathleen Wynne, was Minister of Education.

No matter how much Ms Lynne may dissemble, the fact is that Dr. Levin was instrumental in the drafting of Ontario's new sex education curriculum. His influence can be seen clearly in the inclusion of material which is inappropriate for elementary school children, having regard to their age -- teaching about genitalia as the age of six -- or their families' ideas of sexual morality -- teaching about oral and anal sex, for instance.

Toronto Sun columnist Joe Warmington has called for an enquiry into Dr. Levin's role in putting all the immoral, pro-queer material into the new curriculum being forced into Ontario schools in spite of growing protests by tens of thousands of concerned parents. See "Liberals can't deny Levin's role with sex-ed curriculum".

Is Ms Wynne or Minister Lez Sandals likely to call such an enquiry? Walt doesn't think so. (Lifetime pct .936.) However... Agent 3 notes that the Liberal government's complete mismanagement of the education portfolio has led to strikes by teachers in three large school districts. Back-to-work legislation was passed yesterday, but the teachers are now going to "work to rule".

That means they won't be attending training sessions on the new curriculum. Agent 3 thinks that might well provide a fig leaf with which Mizzes Wynne and Sandals can cover a strategic "postponement" of the introduction of the curriculum, which, like Dr. Levin, deserves the soubriquet "deviant and depraved".

Parents to pull kids out of school to protest ON pro-LGBT sex ed plan

Ontario's lesbian premier, Kathleen Wynne, met last week with a token handful of parents opposed to her new sex education curriculum, which normalizes homosexuality, transgenderism, and premarital sex. Shortly after the meeting she again refused to budge on their call for a serious consultation with parents. She announced that there would be no changes in the content of the curriculum, and no delay in implementing it.

Starting in September, Ontario teachers -- even in taxpayer-funded "Catholic" schools -- will start telling kids as young as six everything the state things they need to know about homosexuality, gay "marriage", and the ins and outs of sex [Watch it! Ed.] including the deviant varieties.

Given the intransigence of Premier Wynne and the queer lobby in Ontario's Minister of Education, concerned parents are going ahead with plans for a student strike, now set for the week of May 4th. LifeSiteNews quotes one organizer as saying the curriculum is in conflict with the religious beliefs and cultural values of many families.

For Ghada Melek, of The Well Informed Parent, it is the content that is most disturbing. Ms Melek told LifeSiteNews she got together with about 30 professionals in the Brampton area to analyze the sex ed curriculum and to gather the expert opinion of psychologists, doctors, and child educators. They found 22 objectionable or age-inappropriate components and drafted their own alternative curriculum. When they presented their draft to the government, they were patronized with clichés and their recommendations were rejected.

Ms Melek said the biggest problem with the sex ed curriculum was its promotion of gender identity with primary school students. "We propose putting it off to Grade 10. Introducing it earlier, when children may be innocently exploring gender roles, is too risky. It might lead children to draw the wrong conclusions about their own identities."

The Well Informed Parent group's research also indicated that teaching about "sexual consent"” in Grades 7 and 8 is also problematic, because it might make children think that if they aren’t having sex by then they are abnormal. "It normalizes and legitimizes pretty dangerous behaviour."

The group also found the curriculum overestimated the effectiveness of condoms in prevent sexually transmitted diseases. They are supporting the strike, and encouraging those who can’t afford to take a week off to at least pull their children out of school on the first day, May 4th.

Ontario parents protests plan to teach kids about oral and anal sex

Anger at Ontario's new "improved" sex education curriculum continues to mount. The new curriculum, which was drafted by "progressive education experts" including one who has just been convicted of serious kiddy porn offences, has been on the drawing boards for almost ten years.

The new curriculum will teach children as young as six (6) about homosexuality, abortion, same-sex marriage and deviant sex, including oral and anal sex. [Whew! I thought you were going to say "sodomy". It's not PC! Ed.] It is backed by Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne, who is openly lesbian, and her Education Minister, Liz Sandals, who is not.

One may ask if the Liberal government is conducting a test of some kind, to find out just how gullible and sheep-like the province's people really are. If so, they must be disappointed in the results, because, even though Ms Sandals has announced that the new curriculum will be introduced in Ontario schools -- including state-funded "Catholic" schools -- this fall, come hell or high water, concerned and downright angry parents are turning out by the 100s and 1000s to protest having the LGBTQ education agenda forced down their children's throats (so to speak). See "Anger mounts at 'graphic revisions' to ON sex ed curriculum", posted here February 23rd.

Last night, a couple of Liberal MPPs and trustees of the notoriously left-learning Toronto District School Board held a "health and physical education information session" in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough, which, together with neighbouring Markham, has a large Chinese population. From his years in China, Walt knows that the Chinese are very conservative, at least publicly, when it comes to matters sexual. There is no sex education in Chinese schools at any age. Such things are left to the parents. And last night the Chinese (and other "ethnics") turned out in force to say that's the way it should be!

The parents, taxpayers and voters who turned out didn't come to be "informed". They had something to say, and were determined to say it. Things started out with a couple hundred protesters outside holding signs and chanting. Inside, the "educators" attempted to run a workshop with the customary PowerPoint show designed to convince people that there's really nothing to see here folks, just harmless stuff like teaching kids the polite names for their naughty bits... at age six (6).

The frustrated and unruly crowd wasn't having it. The meeting turned into a shouting match, with several in the audience heckling the presentations. Some parents tried to get those shouting to stop, but what ended up happening was yelling back and forth and heated exchanges. Tempers were flaring. "You don’t mess with people and their kids," said former TDSB trustee Sam Sotiropoulos. "There will be more protests."

An angry parent, Jewell McGregor, told a reporter, "Nobody in school authority should be teaching children about anal sex or oral sex.... They are saying we are all a bunch of idiots, but I think any adult who wants to teach anal and oral sex to children has something wrong with them."

Kathryn Chang, speaking for the Parents Alliance of Ontario, said, "We are primarily a Chinese-Canadian group. We generally don’t protest, but in this case we have people here tonight from Agincourt, all the way to Mississauga and Markham. People feel strongly about this. Teaching children these things at this age is way too soon."

Will Kathleen Wynne and her friends get the message that it’s not just religious groups or "homophobes" who are opposed to the the immoral curriculum? Her Liberal government has a majority in the Ontario legislature, so they can pretty much do as they please for the next 3+ years, and the public be damned. Stay tuned.

Mark Steyn talks about Benedict Cumberbatch, coloured people and pro-LGBT sex education as child abuse

Just a heads-up so you don't miss Mark Steyn's in-studio appearance (Tuesday) with John Oakley on Toronto's AM640 talkfest. Mr. Steyn was in Toronto to promote his new book The [Un]documented Mark Steyn. Walt is awaiting a review copy from the publisher, but if it doesn't arrive soon will order one (autographed) no less, from Mr. Steyn's website.

On the way to the book signing, Mr. Steyn discussed with his radio host a number of matters of current interest, including the enforced public recanting by Benedict Cumberbatch, who accidentally referred to people of colour as "coloured people", or vice-versa. Of particular interest to parents with children in Ontario schools will be his remarks on the so-called "sex education" curriculum being pushed by Kathleen Wynne, Ontario's lesbian premier. Mr. Steyn calls it "the appalling and evil hyper-sexualization of childhood as a matter of state policy". Wow!

Professor behind Ontario's pro-gay sex education curriculum to plead guilty to child porn charges

Sometimes poor Walt just can't get a day off. I should know better than to see what's giving on the mojo wire, but it's good I did so today, otherwise I might have missed an item about University of Toronto Professor Benjamin Levin, the self-satisfied pervert pictured here.

I'd almost forgotten about Prof. Levin. He was last mentioned in this space eighteen months ago, after being charged with accessing child pornography, possessing child pornography, making child pornography, distributing child pornography, counselling to commit an indictable offence and agreeing to or arranging for a sexual offence against a child under 16. That's seven (count `em, 7) charges in all.

It wouldn't have been a big deal -- there are lots of paedophiles and kiddie porn lovers out there -- except for the fact that Prof. Levin once held the post of Deputy Minister of Education minister in Ontario's Liberal government, and was one of the chief architects of Ontario's proposed "modernized and improved" (read: pro-LGBT) sex education curriculum. See "Are perverts pushing Ontario's sex education curriculum? Could be!"

Following cries of outrage from old-fashioned (read: straight) parents, the new curriculum was quietly withdrawn "for further study", even before Prof. Levin embarrassed proud lesbian Kathleen Wynne, then the Minister of Education and latterly Premier of Ontario, by getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar... so to speak.

Prof. Levin denied the charges and was freed on bail, to be further dealt with according to the law at some time in the future... as far as possible into the future. He was relieved of his duties at the aptly-named Queen's Park, and dropped out of sight.

Fast forward to last November. Prof. Levin, still free on bail, has every reason to look pleased with himself when, following the surprising re-election of her very liberal government, Premier Wynne announces that the not-so-new sex education curriculum will be reintroduced. See "Pro-LGBT sex ed coming back to Ontario schools".

Vindication at last for Prof. Levin and the forces of progress, tolerance and so on. Unfortunately, his friends at the Pink Palace were unable to arrange for the charges against him to be dropped, and a trial date was set for March.

What to do? Today -- while Ontarians slumber through a wintry weekend -- Prof. Levin's lawyer announced (quietly) that his client plans to plead guilty to some of the child pornography-related charges against him, while others will be withdrawn. Which charges are which was not specified.

It is passing strange, Agent 3 tells me, for a guilty plea to be announced two months before the court date. And, he adds, it's also unusual for defence counsel to announce the withdrawal of charges. That would normally be for the Crown to do.

But Prof. Levin is not a normal person -- take that any way you like -- and the possibility of further embarrassment to Premier Wynne and the gay cause obviously cannot be countenanced. That's how things are in Canada's most progressive province.
