Mental Molestation By 'Educators'
From the sick minds of 'educators' comes this book in the Alice series, whose sole purpose is to destroy the innocence of children disguised as education. Hiding behind the label 'educator', these people should be more rightly called mental molestors.
Sex/Sexuality "Education" Book in Elementary and Middle Schools
Alice on the Outside is the 11th book in the "Alice" book series. Alice is now a 13-year old and in 8th grade. This book is mainly focused on sex and boys but has two other significant subplots. One is about a lesbian friend and homosexual advocacy/acceptance in general. The other subplot is about a Consciousness-Raising Week training session in school.
The whole school is divided into different groups with different privileges, to learn about prejudice and fear of difference. Alice on the Outside has a very artificial feel, as if it is really sex instruction and formal consciousness training lessons, weakly tied together and disguised or packaged as childrens fiction.
Alice on the Outside takes place in Montgomery County, Maryland [gee I wonder why??] where several radical sex ed changes are currently being discussed. These include more homosexual advocacy and defining anything other than intercourse as not really sex.
One of the subject terms the Fairfax County Public Schools Library catalog uses for this book is "Erotic Stories." The FCPS library catalog reviews says, "Issues of sexuality.. are dealt with candidly." FCPS Family Life Education (FLE) Regulations say homosexuality and masturbation may not be included as part of elementary school FLE instruction. Despite significant homosexuality and masturbation content, Alice on the Outside is still in two elementary schools (Camelot ES - Principal Melaney Mackin and Colvin Run ES - Principal Sandra Furick).
Alice wants to know what sexual intercourse "really, really feels like". She asks her older cousin (like an aunt) who talks to her about things including the number of times an average woman has sexual intercourse, how the first time doesn't hurt as often or much since girls using tampons have stretched themselves, and what are "other ways" such as with "his hands.. lips.." Explicit sexual terms are used such as "both come at the same time," "orgasm," and "climax." From her brother Alice learns about his nocturnal emissions, wet dreams and ejaculating while sleeping. She asks him, "When a guy ejaculates, how much semen comes out?"
A significant subplot is about Alice's lesbian friend and views on homosexuality. In one scene Alice snaps at her friend who said, ".. being homosexual isnt a sin, because people cant help the way they are, but making homosexual love is." Alice derides her friends point of view as the same as "..telling someone it isnt a sin to be hungry, but it is if you eat."
The values, attitudes and beliefs expressed about sex and sexuality in Alice on the Outside contradict the values, attitudes and beliefs of many parents. In making this sex/sexuality "education" fiction book available outside of the FLE curriculum, FCPS is circumventing a parent's rights.
Alice on the Outside is also in ten middle schools (Glasgow - Principal Deirdre Lavery , Herndon - Principal Frank Jenkins, Hughes - Principal Deborah Jackson, Irving - Principal Danny Little, Key - Principal Sharon Eisenberg, Liberty - Principal Audra Sydnor, Longfellow - Principal Vince Lynch, Poe - Principal June Monterio, Sandburg - Principal Donna Pasteur, Thoreau - Principal Mark Greenfelder).
Alice on the Outside has been added to the PABBIS website. There are now 87 books in the PABBIS excerpts section. See the excerpts for more controversial content.
