Another Sign: The Left Hates Children

It was only a matter of time.

After years of gender confusion being pumped into public schools, drag queens reading to toddlers in libraries, hormone blockers being given to children behind their parents’ backs, and activist teachers deliberately undermining family values—we’ve arrived at the next predictable, sickening stop on the cultural depravity express: the normalization of pedophilia.

The latest revolting example comes via a City Journal exposé on “B4U-ACT,” a Maryland-based organization that openly campaigns to destigmatize pedophilic attraction. The group pushes for the use of the term “MAPs” (Minor-Attracted Persons) to replace “pedophile,” argues for so-called “affirmative therapy,” and wants to give pedophiles a say in how they’re treated—yes, really.

This isn’t satire. This isn’t from The Onion. This is real life in a country still reeling from the Left’s cultural chaos, where radicals are no longer even trying to conceal their endgame: to destroy innocence, erase boundaries, and ultimately, make the unthinkable a civil right.

Let’s be crystal clear: there is no “identity” in being sexually attracted to children. There is no “community” of “MAPs” that deserves inclusion in therapeutic development. There is no “orientation” in preying on the most vulnerable. It is not something to be “affirmed.” It is a pathology to be fought and condemned. Yet here we are, with groups like B4U-ACT legitimizing predators under the false flag of inclusion and “mental health.”

According to the article, B4U-ACT was co-founded by—wait for it—a convicted child sex offender, Michael Melsheimer. It now hosts workshops, lobbies the American Psychological Association, and teaches clinicians how to “respect” pedophilic desires without judgment. This isn’t therapy. This is institutionalized grooming.

And don’t make the mistake of assuming this is fringe. It’s the inevitable fruit of a Leftist worldview that discards objective morality in favor of endless self-expression. First, they said gender is a feeling. Then they said 8-year-olds could change their sex. Then they said parents shouldn’t interfere. Now they want to make room at the table for “non-offending” pedophiles because, they claim, attraction isn’t action.

This is what happens when a society rejects boundaries and pretends “inclusion” trumps protection.

The reason they always go after the kids is simple: children represent innocence, and innocence is the last remaining obstacle to total cultural collapse. The radicals know they can’t win unless they corrupt that innocence. It’s not enough to blur the lines between boy and girl, parent and child, teacher and activist. Now they’re trying to blur the line between criminal perversion and “misunderstood identity.”

When they talk about “MAPs” having rights, what they’re really talking about is dismantling every protective institution between predators and children: the family, the church, biology, law enforcement—even language itself. That’s why they invent euphemisms like “MAP”—because if they called it what it is (pedophilia), they’d be shouted out of the room. So instead, they give it a ribbon and call it therapy.

What’s even more twisted? This isn’t about helping struggling people resist evil impulses. B4U-ACT isn’t offering guardrails. It’s offering validation. The goal isn’t to prevent child abuse—it’s to make “attraction” to children just another flavor on the spectrum of human sexuality.

This is not mental health. It’s moral sabotage.

And it’s happening in the same America where parents are called domestic terrorists for opposing sexualized books in schools, while the people attracted to those same books are suddenly framed as marginalized communities deserving “affirmation.”

It’s why some of us screamed so loudly when pronouns entered classrooms, when kids were sent home with questionnaires about their gender identity, when parents were deliberately kept in the dark by public school administrators. Because we knew: this wasn’t about kindness. It was about conquest.

So let me say what the media won’t: A society that even hesitates to draw a moral line against pedophilia is a society unworthy of survival.

And a political ideology that keeps finding new ways to excuse, repackage, or soften the language around child sexual abuse doesn’t just hate morals, traditions, or Christianity.

It hates children.

It hates the clarity children bring. It hates their joy. It hates their vulnerability. And worst of all, it hates the idea that parents—not bureaucrats, not social engineers, not “MAP”-friendly therapists—should be the ones to raise them.

The radical Left has lost the argument on merit, on science, and on decency. All it has left is narrative manipulation and institutional capture. Which is why groups like B4U-ACT exist in the first place—to soften the ground, prep the language, and sell the lie.

But the rest of us? We’re not buying.

We know what this is. And we will not comply.

We will never affirm pedophilia. We will never respect it. We will never legalize, normalize, or tolerate it under any banner—no matter how colorful the flag or how academic the justification.

We will fight for our children. With everything we’ve got.

And the enemies of childhood innocence—whether they wear lab coats or pride pins—should understand one thing very clearly: we see what you’re doing. And we’re coming for your narrative.

The line is drawn.
