Re: Frontal nudity and other dangers in books

When I worked in a special ed classroom at a high school , one fo the
favorite "leisure time" activities was to look through the Penney's
catalog which was kept for using in art projects. The favorite pages were
the bra and girdle pages! Strange I never saw anything the least "sexy"
about those pages but the hs boys sure thought they were great. I just
think part of it is curiousity and the idea that they are doing something
a little naughy. It seems to me that if we don't make a big deal of the
picture, provide some quiet explanation as many of you have said that you
do, it will become a non-issue. When we make a big deal of it, seems to
be when it becomes a big deal with the kids too. Just my two cents worth.
