"Meanwhile, some Christians are concerned that one of the last sexual taboos — adult-child sex — is finding a voice in academic journals and books. In 1998, three university professors published what has become known as the Rind study in Psychological Bulletin, contending that “the vast majority” of adults report “no negative effects” from child sex abuse. Various psychologists defended the report in the name of academic freedom.
"Earlier this year, University of Minnesota Press released Judith Levine’s book, Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children From Sex, which argues that sexual relations between an adult and child aren’t damaging."
I definitely have problems with these materials coming out of academic publishers. My statements are related to academic freedom in the classroom. That is, in my opinion, of absolute importance to achieve a minimum of broad educational value. But the matter of publishing materials, as the TFI supported so-called research that I mentioned in my posts, that is questionable and open game.
