SPECIAL ISSUE #61 🧒

CHILD ABUSE REGULATED BY LAW

I recently read an article that was brought to my attention that not only made my blood boil but also made me unbelievably thankful that my children are grown up.

When I read the headline, I thought it must be a prank or a very bad joke. The headline read:

School play in Cologne: Men lick each other in front of children

• The essence of this article states that at a Montessori primary school in Cologne, children in grades 1 to 4 (6 to 9 years of age) were shown a “dance project” in which adult men exchanged French kisses and licked each other's necks and heels.

• Horrified parents alerted the police.

• The school refers to the curriculum of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. This is filled with "gender competencies".

In the week from 17 to 21 April, a very special dance project took place in the music room of the Montessori primary school in Ferdinandstraße in Cologne - but anyone who thinks of colourfully made-up children happily jumping around the room is very much mistaken. Tolerated by the school and supported by the Ministry of Education, first to fourth graders, i.e. about 6- to 9-year-old children, had to watch grown men on stage exchanging French kisses and licking each other's necks and heels.

The parents of the primary school children were shocked when they learned about the contents of the performance "Sleeping Beauty Kiss", one father told Bild: "We immediately contacted the school afterward. But there they told us that they knew nothing about the kisses." Not very credible - because the father then asked a social worker and the artist Alfredo Zinola himself: "They both confirmed to us that there were these scenes."

Probably in response to the complaints of horrified parents, the school sent out a letter to parents with inconceivable attempts at explanation. The letter, obtained by Bild, states that the children were a "trial audience". They had wanted to test the children's "reactions" - to "the choreographic potential of kissing", i.e. French kissing between adult men.

Parents call in the police, the school justifies itself
In the meantime, some parents called the police. Now they are investigating whether criminal acts took place in the performance. 35 parents also signed a petition to stop working with the artist. A man who likes to work with children even independently of the specific school performance, as his homepage reveals. For example, in his play "PELLE": there he invites "children and adults to discover the body together in a playful way".

I still could not believe what I was reading and did some research on this so-called artist. And this is what I found on his website:

Personally, all I see are paedophile adults who groom children under the guise of art so that they must believe it is perfectly ok to touch almost naked adult strangers. But what shocks me the most is that the parents (or at least adults) stand in the background and simply watch. In what world is this tolerable or in any way ok?

The article continues:

This is what it looks like: Three artists dressed only in underwear, blindfolded, let themselves be touched by the children and adults.

Meanwhile, the headmistress of the Montessori primary school in Cologne, Vivienne Kißener-Fountoulakis, defends the performance in an official statement to parents, which is available on the school's website. There she writes, among other things, that the children had had the opportunity "to talk to the dancers and to openly share their opinions and feelings". Furthermore, the teachers "accompanied the children during the event; no child was forced to stay in the room".

Unfortunately, the school had "neglected" to inform the parents in advance in the individual classes "so that they could talk to their children". Otherwise, it was indispensable to allow different opinions, after all, "it is the task of the school to support the development of values and attitudes that are indispensable for life in a democratic society". According to the curriculum, this also includes in primary school "describing similarities and differences in the living situations of people in their environment (including family forms) and dealing with gender- and culture-related prejudices and stereotypes."

Curriculum in NRW: Dealing with "sexual orientation and gender".
What sounds like a cop-out is reality: the curricula for primary schools in the black-green governed NRW are full of gender competencies. According to the curriculum, competence expectations after the school entry phase as well as after the end of the fourth grade are to be formulated, among other things, in an "appreciative and objective manner, also with regard to gender aspects and roles". Under the term "intercultural communicative competence" it is stated that pupils should develop "open-mindedness and tolerance" towards other cultures, they should also be able to describe cultural commonalities from a "gender perspective", among other things using "authentic children's books". By the end of fourth grade, children should also be able to deal with "different sexual orientations and gender in an age-appropriate way".

I am really not a prude and I don’t give a shake of a rat’s arse about anyone’s sexual preferences, but nobody will ever convince me that it is age appropriate to show six to nine-year-old children a performance of men kissing and licking one another. I would immediately take my children from such an environment. This is child abuse, no matter what you try to do to mask it as something positive. I am utterly appalled that this school is attempting to justify this cruel abuse of children.

“When authority is total, so too is the madness of the man who declares it, and the potential for abuse of power." — Rick Wilson

Here is the translation of the letter from the Montessori School, justifying the performance:

Dear Parents,
In the week of 17.4-21.4, as part of a longer-term project, there were dance performances for some classes at Ferdinand Street by the dancer Alfredo
Zinola. The dance project takes place within the framework of the Spitzenförderung Nord Rhein Westfahlen, a funding by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. The Montessori primary school is one of two project schools in the dance ensemble. The cooperation with the dance ensemble was presented to the entire parent body in November last year after a decision by the teachers' conference. The first part of the project, "Other World", was performed in December and received very positive feedback from everyone involved in the school.

The second part of the project was an improvisation on the theme of Kiss - closeness and distance. The children had the opportunity to talk to the
dancers and to openly share their opinions and feelings, which were then incorporated into the next performance. There were also several opportunities for discussion in the classes.
The teachers accompanied the children during the event; no child was forced to stay in the room. The discourse in dialogue is also continued.

Unfortunately, the school has neglected to inform you in advance so that you can talk to your children. The lack of information has caused you great concern in some cases. The performances have provoked a variety of reactions, both positive and negative; from the children who watched them, from those who did not watch, and also among the parents.

As a school, we are very interested in engaging in exchange with you as well. The
class teachers have held discussions and I, as the head master, have been available for all the of the requested discussions. We have invited the class council chairpersons and deputies of all classes to an exchange of talks with the dancers last Thursday, 27 April, so that they could get a more comprehensive picture. In some classes there was already feedback to the parents about this.
The members of the school council who were present at the meeting last Thursday are in favour of continuing the dance project.

Dear parents, the last few days have shown that in order to work well together, it is indispensable to allow for different opinions. With reference to the guidelines for primary school, it is the task of the school to support the development of values and attitudes which are indispensable for life in a democratic society.
The joint work and responsibility of all those involved in school is also indispensable.
In particular, pupils should learn to represent their own opinions to the best of their ability and to respect the opinions of others, to make personal
decisions in religious and ideological matters and to develop understanding and tolerance of others.

If we dedicate ourselves to the teaching content according to the curricula, it is also part of primary school for the pupils to describe similarities and differences in the living situations of people in their environment (including family forms) and to deal with gender- and culture-related prejudices and stereotypes.

An exchange about whether the chosen path is reasonable and appropriate for the student body is desirable. It is not desirable and not acceptable that school employees are verbally attacked on the phone and that members of the dance ensemble are threatened with physical violence. Some of the parents are seeking a classification and clarification through institutions outside the school; the police and the media have been consulted.

Dear parents, the school will continue to be a space where your children can express themselves freely and speak their minds. Every child is allowed to have his or her own opinion and interpretation of the dance project, and we teachers, but also you as parents, are asked to support your child in classifying the events while allowing the child's opinion.

Further dialogue will take place in the classes for the benefit of the children. We are available for constructive dialogue with you.

Yours sincerely,

Vivienne Kißener-Fountoulakis
Headmistress

Gender madness and trans propaganda in official primary school curricula is nothing but another opportunity to sexualise, groom, disturb, and even cause lasting physical and psychological damage to children without their parent's consent. The Cologne case shows how far individual schools already go without parental consent.

Children are being groomed to believe it is alright to touch half-naked adults, and that it is normal to watch people kissing and licking each other in public. Perhaps they will think it is also alright when the nice man on the playground comes with sweets and would like to be touched by the children. How are children to understand that it is not alright when authority figures - which most adults are to children, at least at that age, and teachers especially, tell them there is nothing to it and that it is a part of being “tolerant” and “democratic”? I weep for the future of the children. Parents need to step up now and put an end to these sickening influences on their children and do everything that is necessary to protect them. On the other hand, you probably can't expect it. It is probably the same parents who did not protect their children from vaccination, but I can only assume...

📚My Poem of the Day

Is by William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

Sonnet 94: They that have power to hurt and will do none

They that have power to hurt and will do none,
That do not do the thing they most do show,
Who, moving others, are themselves as stone,
Unmoved, cold, and to temptation slow:
They rightly do inherit heaven's graces
And husband nature's riches from expense;
They are the lords and owners of their faces,
Others but stewards of their excellence.
The summer's flower is to the summer sweet
Though to itself it only live and die,
But if that flower with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves his dignity:
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
