(from the article by Linderman) Многодетный отец Ойген М., живущий в городе Хамм, попал в тюрьму за то, что его дочь Мелита пропустила 2 урока сексуального просвещения. Как выясняется, это далеко не единственный случай в Германии. Известно, что в другой школе 8 шестиклассников во время подобного урока потеряли сознание, увидев изображение половых органов.


What, was there a carbon-monoxide leak from the school's heating system? Were the children using large quantities of heroin and vodka? Did the "изображение половых органов" consist of video clips from Japanese "tentacle porn" anime, instead of anatomical illustrations from standard biology texts?




Seriously, I'm having trouble understanding how EIGHT children passed out after seeing pictures of human genitals. I mean, it's possible that ONE child might have a hysterical fainting reaction to nakedness because his parents happened to be crazy religious fanatics and they used to burn him with cigarettes if he touched himself "down there" -- but EIGHT children in the same school? In my experience, the normal response of sixth-graders to pictures of sex organs is loud, howling laughter, not loss of consciousness.

I think there must be more to the story than Mr. Linderman says. Could it be that the children were only PRETENDING to faint, for reasons known to themselves?

But, at any rate, I think that:

(a) "sex-ed" lessons showing pictures of the sex organs are, in general, suitable for шестиклассники -- who, I assume, are about 11 years old, and therefore near the age of puberty (when their own sex organs will begin doing "strange" things); however

(b) parents should be able to keep their children out of sex-ed lessons -- if the above story is true, Melita's teacher acted wrongly by forcing the girl back into the classroom


Признаком разложения религии у [американцев] является возникновение кучи религиозных сект.
Um.... we had "heaps" of religious sects even in colonial times, before the US existed. We've also had at least three or four major "Revivals" in American Protestantism, and we invented dozens of new religions in the 19th century -- most of which have disappeared, although the Jehovah's Witnesses are still around, while the Mormon Church has been extremely successful in spite of the very obvious evidence that Joseph Smith was a "bullshit artist." So it seems strange to say that the large number of sects is a symptom of religion in decline, at least in the American context.
