The booklets referred to do not seem to be on the BZgA site, so it's difficult to determine the truth behind this. There is an educational tour available which includes videos and a song-book, but again, there is no way of telling whether the items complain about exist or, if they do, whether mistranslation is involved.

LifeSiteNews.com is an anti-abortion, pro-Life site which has fallen foul of the Vatican (amongst others) for its tendency to spin stories out of all recognition in order to make its point. Anybody remember the "Pope Criticizes Harry Potter" fiasco? One of LifeSiteNews' little articles kicked that one off.

In this particular case, it may be that the BZgA produced a publication that reminded parents that children tend to explore their own bodies in a completely innocent way and linked early sex education messages to that fact. We won't know for certain while authors foaming at the mouth in righteous self-opinionated indication spin their misinterpretations for the masses.

LifeSiteNews has hooked into two predominantly British bogeymen, the EU as Evil Superstate and The Nasty Nazi Germans. Judging by the comments on the original article, you half expect Christian anti-abortion groups to head for the German Embassy with pitchforks and torches.

It's on the internet, so it must be true.
