<p class="p1"><span class="s1">According to the <a href="https://freedomproject.com">Freedom Project</a>, California likes to claim that it is leading the way in teaching LGBT history to students, but it could be on its way to normalizing pedophilia.</span></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what a top education official in the Brea Olinda School District said <span class="s1">when a concerned parent asked why her 9th-grader was learning about pedophilia in school: </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“This is being done because we are talking about historical perspectives of how gender relations and different types of sexual orientations have existed in history,&#8221; explained Kerrie Torres, Assistant Superintendent of Curricula.<br />
</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">When pressed as to whether the crime of pedophilia was being taught as a<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>“sexual orientation,” Torres replied: “It’s something that occurred in history, and so this is really important for us to include.”</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">My immediate reaction to these statements: either Torres is trying way too hard to be PC with this issue or students in her district are actually learning about pedophilia as a form of &#8220;sexual orientation.&#8221;</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">The implications here are shocking.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Pedophilia is a crime in every state, but discrimination based on sexual orientation is illegal in many states &#8211; so does that mean we should not discriminate against pedophiles? Does that mean schools and churches will be forced to hire criminals to work with children? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Perhaps the most disgusting possibility here is that students learning about pedophilia as a “sexual orientation” might assume that opposing sexual advances from an adult just because that person is an adult is a form of bigotry.</span></p>
<p>No matter your sexual orientation, I think we can all agree that pedophiles do not belong to the LGBT community, or to any community other than that of the worst type of criminal.</p>
<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s note:</strong> Is this what extreme, misguided political correctness brings us? The damage this could do is enough to bring tears of anger to your eyes.</p>
