A century ago, the so-called “sexual revolution” began under a false banner of freedom. But its roots weren’t liberation — they were corruption. From Freud’s psychosexual theories to Wilhelm Reich’s call for a “sexual revolution,” the groundwork was laid for Alfred Kinsey — the man whose fraudulent “research” redefined sexual norms and opened the door to the sexualization of children.
Kinsey’s studies in the 1940s and ’50s used criminals, prostitutes, and even known pedophiles as subjects and “observers.” His data on children came from the abuse of over 2,000 minors. Yet Hollywood and academia still call him a hero. The truth — documented by Dr. Judith Reisman and others — is that Kinsey’s work was neither science nor ethics. It was manipulation masquerading as progress.
The Heritage Foundation long ago exposed Kinsey’s disregard for real data: his samples were wildly biased, his “subjects” criminal, his conclusions deceptive. But the damage was done. Instead of protecting innocence, modern classrooms now push graphic sexual material and radical gender ideology — direct descendants of Kinsey’s ideas.
Today, that same poison spreads under new academic labels. A recent paper published in SAGE Journals argues that childhood sexual “innocence” is a “colonial fiction” — that children should be viewed as “pleasurable beings.” This is not scholarship. It is the intellectual justification for grooming. Scholars like Colin Wright of the Manhattan Institute warn that such writing lays the groundwork for dismantling age-of-consent laws by reframing predators as “minor-attracted persons.”
The conservative response must be unapologetic: protect childhood innocence. Reject “sex ed” programs that normalize adult material for kids. Defund institutions that glorify Kinsey’s legacy. And remind America that moral boundaries are not oppression — they are civilization’s safeguards. We cannot let predators hide behind the mask of academia or “progress.” The line between good and evil isn’t cultural — it’s moral. And it begins with defending our children.
