I wonder how many of these parents know their children are listening to
'immorality' in country and western music, or watching MTV, playing video
games? We can go on and on about the relative 'morality' of different
assaults on fifth grade sensibilities.

Recently I took my children to the Bodyworlds 3 exhibit at Telus World of
Science in Vancouver, British Columbia. The exhibit was treated
reverentially by the exhibitors and therefore by my children, one of whom is
a 7 year old with pervasive developmental disorder. He spoke in hushed
tones. He did not focus on the nudity displayed, but on the beauty of the
human body.

If a 7 year old with challenges can understand this, so can normal 10 year
olds.

All this hoopla serves to do is create shame of the human body, including
the bodies of the children seeing the display.
