They went on to presented parent who opposed the teacher as manipulated, murder-minded pawns of inside-the-Beltway lobbyists.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, the newspaper\u2019s Style section featured a glowing portrait of Justine Ang Fonte, who had worked at the Dalton School. The Old Gray Lady <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nytimes\/status\/1412879138478768131\">summarized<\/a> the story on Twitter: \u201cPornography literacy classes are supposed to teach students how to critically assess what they see on the screen.

Their reporting contained not a word about her porn literacy session, but the Times reported editorialized, \u201cWhile <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/culture\/2020\/jan\/31\/porn-survey-uk-teenagers-viewing-habits-bbfc\">parents may not want to believe<\/a>&nbsp;that their teenagers are viewing pornography, many of them&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/03\/20\/opinion\/sunday\/when-did-porn-become-sex-ed.html\">probably<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/02\/07\/magazine\/teenagers-learning-online-porn-literacy-sex-education.html\">are<\/a>, on purpose or by accident.\u201d Reporter Valeriya Safronova noted that sex education classes have \u201cexpanded\u201d beyond pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) to \u201cunhealthy relationships, body positivity, sexual orientation, reproductive justice and gender identity.\u201d Pornography literacy classes like those taught by Fonte allegedly teach students \u201cto critically assess what they see on the screen\u201d and \u201cdeconstruct implicit gender roles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSex educators compare it to teaching math, or English,\u201d the New York Times reported.<\/p>\n<p>Fonte also minimized the scope of her primary school sex presentations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI equip them with a way that they can exercise body agency and consent, by knowing exactly what those parts are, what they are called, and how to take care of them.\u201d Besides, technically \u201c[t]he material for her first-grade class never used the term \u2018masturbation,\u2019\u201d the Times reported. The assertion may be technically true but irrelevant: Fonte clearly showed 6- and 7-year-old children a video that described fondling their own genitals. Presumably, this kind of sophistry explains how so many reporters can insist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/here-are-5-ways-the-media-is-trying-to-mislead-you-on-critical-race-theory\">K-12 schools don\u2019t teach Critical Race Theory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Fonte also said she merely taught the importance of consent, which she said contradicts and should replace the Golden Rule. \u201cWe\u2019re still teaching the [G]olden [R]ule and we should be teaching the platinum rule: to treat others the way&nbsp;<em>they<\/em>&nbsp;want to be treated,\u201d Fonte told the Times.<\/p>\n<p>When parents rose up in outrage, the Times presented Fonte as a martyr. \u201cFonte weathered the recent attacks on her reputation, violent threats in her inbox and the experience of being doxxed,\u201d the Times said. Fonte asserted that she had served her young charges nobly, but \u201cit cost me my safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In reality, parents objected to an overly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/five-disgusting-examples-of-schools-pushing-graphic-sex-ed-on-children\">explicit<\/a> (and amoral) presentation being made to their children without <em>their <\/em>consent. One outraged parent told the New York Post, \u201cIt\u2019s outrageous that the school is introducing pornography into a mainstream classroom and starting to indoctrinate kids. The goal of this is to disrupt families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That parent may not have known how right she was.<\/p>\n<p>Former abortionist Carol Everett, who is now a pro-life advocate, has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=g6uqd-i8-nI\">described<\/a> how she used sex education classes to \u201csell abortion\u201d to underage girls. \u201cSex education sells abortions, and we started in kindergarten,\u201d she said. \u201cYou have to break down the natural modesty. You have to become the experts in their lives, and you have to separate them from their parents and their values.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She explained that the first step begins in kindergarten by establishing that their parents\u2019 nicknames for their private parts are not scientifically accurate, establishing sex education counselors as more knowledgeable than their family. \u201cIn kindergarten, they just put the kids in a circle, and they ask a very simple question: What do you say to call your private parts?\u201d Since families use different nicknames, \u201cby the time you reach the third or fourth child, it is clear to those children that their parents don\u2019t know\u201d the anatomically correct names of their genitalia. \u201cBut we did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019d done it,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019d broken down the natural modesty, and we were becoming the sexperts in their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During a later sex education talk which she gave about the time the schoolchildren reached the onset of puberty, she\u2019d ask girls whether their parents would help them get birth control if they began having sex. If not, she told them, \u201c\u2018Don\u2019t worry about that: Here\u2019s my card.\u2019 This is the sad part: The next day, those girls would call.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sex Education Sells Abortion Per Abortion Provider Planned Parenthood Carol Everett  War on Children\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g6uqd-i8-nI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>Rather than say parents should have some say over the most intimate aspects of their children\u2019s education at a school where they\u2019re paying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/parents-outraged-after-47000-per-year-prep-school-hosts-porn-workshop-for-teen-students\">$47,000<\/a> a year, the New York Times quoted another sex education activist who said parents should \u201cacknowledge young people\u2019s rights to have this information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Times concluded that \u201cFonte is planning to write children\u2019s books\u201d in order to&nbsp;\u201cspread her message&nbsp;far beyond the Upper East Side.\u201d Parents have the choice whether to purchase books for their children.
