YOU WENT FULL WEIMAR, GERMANY. NEVER GO FULL WEIMAR: Evil: German daycares introduce “sexual exploration rooms” with rules for children to “pet and explore each other” while nude.

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): This isn’t new in Germany: Germany’s secret paedophilia experiment: Under the ‘Kentler Experiment’ of the 1970s, Berlin welfare authorities handed over homeless teenagers to known paedophiles.

Plus: The Roots of Abuse: Decades of Molestation Haunt Odenwaldschule. “Everyone should have known what was going on.” Oh, they did.

Also:

Eventually the permissiveness became almost total, and it wasn’t the tormentors but the tormented who were made to feel guilty. “The declared minimum objective was to be bisexual. If you didn’t achieve that, you were a failure,” says former pupil Gerhard R., who came to the school in 1975 and was first abused by his music teacher the following year. “We knew one thing: Everything was permitted at any time,” Gerhard R., the alumnus who recalled Gerold Becker fellating him like a possessed man, says of his schooldays.

German television presenter Amelie Fried attended the Odenwaldschule starting in 1969. In a book published to mark the school’s centenary, she recounts how a teacher coaxed her into playing strip poker in his apartment. She says he mercilessly goaded her for being a “prudish, petty bourgeois Swabian girl” until she “finally caved in to the pressure,” though she was “terribly embarrassed” and subsequently repressed her memory of the incident for decades.

Does this sound familiar?
