The Sexualization of Children is Extreme…and Mainstream

Written by Dr. James Dobson | August 11, 2021

Porn for children? 13-year-old sex workers? The unabashed defense of pedophilia?

As explained in a powerful—and horrifying—article in the Federalist, the radical Left is determined to sexualize your children.

Spencer Lindquist writes:

With increasing frequency, the obvious has become undeniable. Those who have a creepy obsession with involving children in their sexual tastes, and use any avenue at their disposal to do so, either have a direct sexual interest in children or want to run cover for those who do. The Left has a pedophilia problem, and it's only getting worse.

Lindquist goes on to describe interviews from the 2019 San Francisco Pride Parade in which attendees brazenly stated they were "down for the kink with kids," claimed "age is a construct," and expressed their enthusiasm for the idea that "love has no age."

Meanwhile, publications like the New York Times approvingly describe a child "trad[ing] sex at age 13," an associate professor at Yale University argues that children should be exposed to graphic sexual content because "children might like it," and a columnist for GQ in the UK enthusiastically proposed "porn for children."

Even more explicit examples are included in Lindquist's article. While we aren't linking directly to the article because of this graphic content, it is absolutely vital that you understand the war that is underway for your children.

What can you do?

First, we must commit ourselves to prayer. There is evil and it is real. This is first and foremost a spiritual battle and it must be fought on our knees.

Second, parents must defend their children. You can provide the care and guidance that is needed and can build into your sons and daughters the moral and spiritual foundation they need to navigate this world. Be vigilant about whom you allow to speak into your child's life, and carefully monitor the content they consume.

This is absolutely crucial!
