According to the March 22nd edition of the Pocono Record newspaper, Dr. Vahanvaty stated, ``Even a parent doesn't have the right to saywhat's appropriate for a physician to do when they're doing an exam.'' Hold on just a minute here. Whose kids are these anyway? Are they theparents' children or are they the government's children? Does this remind anyone else of Hillary's It Takes a Village?Katie Tucker asks, ``Maybe it's the school's plan to align itself with Goals 2000?'' and in fact, the records show that the East Stroudsburgschool already did receive $25,000 from Goals 2000. Here we go folks. We are in an all out war here. On one side you have parents who sayit is and always has been our right and responsibility to raise our kids. On the other side you have Hillary's Village a.k.a. the government viaGoals 2000, saying that all kids belong to them to do with as they see fit. The battle lines are drawn.The reason the media isn't all over this story is clear. Goals 2000 not only supports this type of examination, it actually requires it! Goals 2000is the darling of the NEA and the liberal media. Hang on tight to your kids ladies and gentlemen. They're coming to take them away ho-ho, he-he. Big Brother isn't just coming any more -- he's already here and he is a ``She'' and ``She'' wants our kids!In Paul Craig Robert's column, printed in the May 6th, 1996, edition of the Washington Times, he says, ``Hillary Clinton's book, It Takes aVillage, paints a picture in the reader's mind that parents are dangerous to children unless they are guided and overseen by experts.''The reason for these examinations is simple. It is because parents are not to be trusted. Parents are suspect to Hillary and the NEA. Oneparent said, ``Females can only get genital warts from an infected male. If there's a problem with pre-adolescent girls in East Stroudsburgsuddenly presenting an epidemic of genital warts, one would think the pre- and post- adolescent male population would be examined, also.''Who do they think is going to give 6th grade girls genital warts? Sixth grade boys? No way! Parents -- fathers, that's who!Genital exams are not scheduled for the boys. Genital warts can afflict both sexes, so why aren't they checking the boys over? Might there notbe some kind of civil rights violation if these girls were singled out for this kind of exam? There is one reason girls are singled out. A bunch of man-hating feminists have an agenda of not trusting the male of the species.I'll tell you this folks, if it had been my little girl they had done one of those exams on without my permission they would have more than alawsuit on their hands. My blood is boiling. This story has burned me to the very core ever since I heard about it.The Pennsylvania State Police were called in to investigate whether any laws were broken. They completed their ``investigation'' without ever interviewing one of the 59 girls who were violated. Some investigation. Parents of the girls are outraged as well as thousands of parentsaround the country.This story has been in the Washington Times and the Pocono Record but, as usual, the mainstream media has ignored the whole thing. Theword has spread mainly via the internet. Even without any media coverage to speak of, the East Stroudsburg Area School District has had totake drastic measures to deal with the volume of calls it has received from all over the country.Some parents are upset to the point of violence. In the fax I received from the East Stroudsburg Area School District they say that anonymous``threatening'' phone calls have been placed to district administrators, staff and employees to both their workplaces and homes.``The district has been flooded with telephone calls and messages, mostly from anonymous individuals...Accordingly, the district has beenplaced in a position of having telephone calls to the district, and to the homes of certain of its staff and administrators, traced.''One mother (name withheld) who did receive a notice said, ``I wrote on the form that my daughter was NOT to have a school physical. Sherefused the exam; but they did it anyway.'' Now that sixth grader is experiencing nightmares and wakes up repeating, ``But I said, `no'. I said,`no.' ''Mrs. Tucker adds, ``As parents, we teach our children to say, `no' to being exposed and touched at school; her voice went unheeded...I knowher regular doctor would not have...done [that]. She knows enough about her private parts. When she says `no' she means `no.' Why not justrape her and deny it?''One parent said, ``The girls were not brutalized except in the sense that they were not allowed authority over their own bodies. They were notallowed to say `No'...It was a normal physical examination. But...I'd probably hurt the person who did it to my daughter. In many ways it was aviolation, a rape. What, after all, is the difference between sex and rape? Control. That's all. And the girls had none.''``I'm sure there were many girls who were not overly upset by the exams. But what about the ones who really didn't want to let another person,even a doctor, touch their bottoms? We try to teach our children to respect their bodies and to expect others to respect their wishes. We teachthem to say `no' and mean it. Being completely and utterly powerless over your very self is the violation.''Officials claimed parents' ``emotional'' reaction, not the physical, upset the little girls. But Dr. E. W. Throckmorton, president elect of the American Mental Health Counselors Association, disagreed. He stated, ``The fundamental rights of parents to direct health care wasapparently violated by this intrusive exam.''The East Stroudsburg School District issued a review of the matter after parental complaints. The review stated that the tests did not violatestate health regulations. One parent responded this way. ``No, and it probably didn't violate parking regulations or business licensingrequirements either. But if there is a state health regulation that purports to permit this kind of abuse I would say that Pennsylvania has a very,very serious constitutional problem.'' It is not just Pennsylvania, but every state that adopts Goals 2000.``Pennsylvania's branch of the NEA rallied around the pediatrician, school nurses, and state's right to permit an in-school genital exam. Todemonstrate their approval, teachers began wearing blue ribbons. Three hundred children -- to plead their case -- started wearinghomemade pink ribbons.''If it were my daughter there would be more to it than sending her back to that school wearing a little pink ribbon in protest. At the very least,she would never step foot back in that school again.
