Public Schools “Obscenity Exemptions” In The Name Of Education

In our January/February newsletter in 2014, we touched upon the Alfred Kinsey Institute, along with Hugh Hefner and Playboy’s intrusion into the public schools via funding the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), a major source of sex education materials in the public school and created by Kinsey in 1964. These luminaries and their perversions helped pave the way to eliminating school children protection from obscenity laws in the name of sex education. In other words, it was now okay to show what can only be described as “sexually obscene” material to minor children in the classroom, but it was still quite illegal to show that same material to children in any other venue.

In Oregon ORS 167.080 defines the Displaying of Obscene Materials to Minors and ORS 167.060 Definitions for ORS 167.060 to 167.095. A person, not in the public school system, convicted of displaying or showing a minor obscene, sexually explicit, material can be fined up to $10,000. Further, in 1987 in State v. Henry, the Oregon Supreme Court stated that the state law that criminalizes obscenity was unconstitutional because it violated free speech of the Oregon Constitution. As of 2011, it is the only state to rid the state of that pesky law. However, federal obscenity laws still apply. Oregon Library Laws, Chapter 167 defines “Offenses Against Public Health, Decency and Animals” and further describes obscenity and other related offenses, all the while exempting public schools.

So where does all this leave our children who attend public school? Why can our children be shown obscene material in one venue and not another? How does this early exposure to sexually explicit material affect the minor and brain development? Why are movies and television shows rated for minors but not for sexually explicit material received in public school? Judith G. Reisman, PHD, founder and director of the Child Protection League, Liberty University School of Law, has been an outspoken critic of the sexual violation of children in the name of sex education. Dr. Reisman has written a paper titled Statutory “Obscenity Exemptions” Breed a School “Sexual Rights” Agenda and Child Abuse Epidemic in which she researches the history of the sexual rights agenda and how the obscenity laws were abrogated for public schools in the name sex education grooming.
