Parents of students at a small Minneapolis private school are demanding the director resign after she led a field trip to a shop that sells sex toys and adult novelties.So you send your kid to something called "Gaia Democratic School" and you expect what, traditional pedagogy? Due diligence, people.
“We are not happy with what happened,” said Steve Strawmatt, who has already removed his 10-year-old son from the school.
Strawmatt issued a statement on behalf of about nine sets of parents of kids at Gaia Democratic School who are outraged that director Starri Hedges took about a dozen middle- and high-school-age students to the Smitten Kitten late last week as part of a sex education course.

Due diligence, but I seem to remember a time--not very long ago really--where even "swingers" and the "sex positive left" knew that you didn't take preteens to sex shops because kids were "off limits", sexually speaking. Now I can't quite accuse this school of wanting to undermine our laws against pedophilia/pederasty and such, but that said, this is a lot closer than even I would have guessed. There is a barrier which appears to be falling in certain circles.
Another example that hits closer to home; a trade school meets upstairs from where I work. Where I work--OK mostly engineers, but it does include a few women (mostly engineers)--I never see stretch pants or smell perfume or cologne. When the school lets out, the smell is intense, and it's a rare female student who does not wear yoga pants or equivalent--at least among the non-Somalis. I don't think we need to put people in burqas or uniforms, but if the schools are training kids for life, what an interesting (immoral) life that must be.
