"When Sex Ed Is A Crime Against Children"

As I often note: if you sent an article like this ten years back in time--let alone twenty--no one would believe it. Even moderate Republicans would likely claim that this was some kind of slightly unbalanced, over-the-top parody of leftism. It's sobering to reflect on the fact that Rick Santorum might be just about the only one who'd believe it...

   Part of the point of all this is to desensitize us to its insanity. The incredulous, outraged, angry reaction we'd all have had ten years ago is the sane one. By now, even I've been desensitized. My outrage and incredulity have been diminished. It's basically impossible to maintain rational levels of incredulity and outrage when you're constantly bombarded by outrageous, incredible assertions and reports. Even the grotesquely abnormal begins to seem routine. Because, of course, it's become routine. Which raises the question: is there anything that the unhinged left can't make ordinary simply by doing it? 

   I used to think I was an unrestricted libertarian about sex and sexuality. But I was, of course, naive. I had no idea how far out the limits might be pushed. 

   The thing about the cultural left is: it never stops. It is inherently expansive. It will always move to normalize the next taboo. Conservatism, for all its failings, at least has a tendency toward stasis and stability. But the internal logic of the left makes its acceptance of madness inevitable--and that has, of course, already happened. See above. This version of the left (a) frenetically, angrily pushes against the boundaries of culture and (b) instantly, dogmatically accepts whatever new idea occurs to it. Each of those is deadly by itself, and in combination they are catastrophic.
