The headline comes from Pure Freedom’s Dannah Gresh — an excellent organization that’s addressing one of the big problems in our culture — the promotion of sexuality at younger and younger ages. Here’s a portion of Dannah’s post, a link to the entire email, and a link to her website.

Moms, it’s not only OK but really smart to pull your daughter off the boy-crazy train.
