The L.A. Times: Sprinting Toward Gomorrah

By awarding a Los Angeles Times Book Prize to the odious "Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children from Sex," by Judith Levine, the Times has embraced pedophilia chic as its latest cause..."Harmful to Minors," published by the University of Minnesota Press, calls for lowering the age of sexual consent to 12, and teaching children about sex with other children and with adults, in all varieties. Levine praises a child-care center where "children of all ages may engage in masturbation without shame and consensual child-with-child sexual touching without adult interference" (p. 183). She promotes "outercourse," which "returns lovers to what Freud called polymorphous perversity – the infantile state of full-body sensuality, in which various body parts don't enjoy greater or lesser respect or greater or lesser capacity for pleasure. Male, female or transgendered, we all have mouths, necks, toes, anuses, brains, and nerve endings" (p.196).
