‘Raping Their Innocence’: Parents Outraged After School Principal Allegedly Teaches 5th Graders About Oral & Anal Sex




A disturbing story is making its way out of a small community in Washington State, where residents are outraged over a school lesson that was delivered to fifth-grade children. During a sex education class led by the Onalaska Elementary School principal, graphic descriptions of oral and anal sex were purportedly delivered.

According to Fox News’ Todd Starnes, the 11-year-old students were being given a lesson on HIV-AIDS. However, the lesson took a bizarre turn when a student reportedly asked about other forms of sexual activity. At that point, the principal then delved into subjects many would deem too advanced for the children.

While the school hasn’t offered comment, Superintendent Scott Fenter defended the principal’s actions, claiming that she only gave “factual information” and “no demonstrations.“ Fenter also claims that the lessons that were offered came from ”state-adopted curriculum.”

“In reality, she stuck to the curriculum,” the district leader told Seattle’s Q-13 Fox News. “It’s pretty difficult to talk about STDs or sexually transmitted diseases without explaining what that is, or how it’s transmitted.”


Parents are reacting harshly to the lesson, though, claiming that the principal went too far.

“I’m one pissed off cowboy, I didn’t appreciate them teaching my daughter – who is innocent of that – at all,” James Gilliand said in an interview with Starnes.

“Basically, how I feel is, it’s just the same as raping somebody, but you’re raping their innocence instead of their physical being,” he added in the Q-13 appearance.

Another parent, Curtis Pannkuk, believes that the curriculum must be changed. Echoing Gilliand’s declarations, he said, “children were traumatized.”

Starns provides the graphic details of what the parents claim their children heard in the classroom:
“You take a man’s penis and you put it in your mouth – that’s what the girls do to the boys,” their daughter told the couple. “The boys spread the girls legs apart and put their mouths down on the vaginas.”

Pannkuk said he became enraged as his 11-year-old daughter recounted what the principal had told the classroom.

“Steam was coming out my ears,” he said. “I was very, very upset. I understand that they need to teach these kids sex education – but 11-year-olds? I have a problem with that. The wife and I were very – very upset.”

Gilliland said another child explained to their parents that it “was basically like a lollipop.”

We all have choices, teach your children yourself or wait until grade 6-7 for their peers to give them bad information.

How many kids think oral and anal sex is risk free behaviour. No babies in there! Sex ed talks about condoms for sex, but often doesn't clarify ALL sex, because educators are too squeamish to be blunt about it. And with good reason. Each new generation ends up assuming that because no one talked to them about it, they invented the damn stuff.

If you're going to be teaching my kids how to avoid std's, why should I draw a line at which activities you're allowed to talk about?

At least one pair of those grade 5 kids are sticking it to eachother, they may as well learn how to do it safely.

The talk may be over the top. BUT.... If one kid realizes what's happening to him/her is considered sex - and maybe even rape - he/she may get the tools to break out of the cycle. Nobody ever said the birds and bees don't sting.

Kudos to that principal....

I wonder what was said to be sure, that is after they hype and the supposed statements.
If one kid did ask it also follows that the others were likely thinking about it and were to
squeamish themselves to ask. Most parents don't realize these kids know a lot of things
at a very tender age, in the eyes of the parents.
I think subjects like this have to be addressed its part of keeping children safe in their
behaviours, and believe me they are experimenting with a lot of things they don't discuss
with mom and dad.
Children can't rely on parents alone to teach them on this matter because all sorts of
feelings and beliefs get in the way. Some are not self confident enough to talk to their kids.
Others from a religious background just don't discuss it until they are discussing aids or
pregnancy because they didn't talk about things before hand.
I know of families that hear the line "in this house we believe" well actually in families not
everyone believes the same things. Children then tell parents what they want to hear and
all meaningful conversation stops.
Nope, school is there to educate and the schools are there to prepare children and young
adults to make their way in the world. Depending on how the explanations were conducted
I have no problem with a principal discussing such matters with students.

No I think demonstrations might be a tad inappropriate wouldn't ya think?
I realize such a topic could be very sensitive in the information delivered
but if questions are asked adults should respond with honest answers.
Honest answers are different from sensational answers. What is considered
appropriate by some might not be for others, however some answer is
required or the wrong message gets sent.

I'm not sure it's a "big deal". Some people have difficulty when it comes of matters of explaining sex, hell, some have difficulty explaining anything!
