“A lawmaker yesterday demanded that the education ministry recall a high school textbook because he believed some of the content to be vulgar. PFP legislator Lee Ching-hua displayed a copy of Expert on Adolescence and read some of the text. The book asked students to draw a picture of their ideal position for having sex.”
Did this hypocrite complain about society’s moral decay when his fellow legislator was caught on film in a sex video in a variety of positions? Healthy sex talk and education is sorely needed in Taiwan. Banning books?
I suggest that Forumosans of all political colors who find this legislator’s prudishness to be hypocritical should contact him and inform him of their favorite position.
Maybe her family is angry that somebody actually wrote the sex-ed book without actually plagarizing it. Her sister’s thesis for the civil service exam was a fraud.
PFP lawmaker Diane Lee (李慶安), ranked as one of the most hardworking legislators session after session, has come under intense pressure to quit her office.
Driven by self-righteousness and a hunger for the media spotlight, she mistakenly accused top health official Twu Shiing-jer (涂醒哲) of sexually harassing another man during a KTV party on Aug 6.
Lee, 43, first entered politics in 1994 when she won a berth on Taipei City Council. Four years later, she joined the legislative race, winning a seat representing the capital city’s southern district.
Four-term PFP Legislator Lee Ching-hua (李慶華), 54, is one of Diane Lee’s two brothers. He chaired the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee before launching his political career.
Lee Ching-chu (李慶珠), elder sister of Diane Lee, was a key staffer for the National Youth Commission and Overseas Chin-ese Affairs Commission in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Aggressive and overbearing, she was disliked by many colleagues.
Her thesis with which she passed the 1988 civil service exam was later found to be a piece of plagiarism and led to her downfall. The scandal was exposed by then-DPP legislator Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁), now the nation’s president.
I don’t understand how this is a hypocritical complaint.
High school students drawing a picture of a sexual position in a school textbook? That’s outrageous to most people, whether or not they were caught in a sex video. We are talking about teenagers drawing sexual pictures as part of a curriculum…don’t you think it should be banned too?

Need I spell it out for you in pictures?
When a member of her own party had a sex scandal – a videotape in which the sexual positions were somewhat adventurous (by Taiwan standards), she was silent.
Later, she later accused top health official Twu Shiing-je of sexually harassing another man. I think it is hypocritical when you keep silent on such things when it is your own party, but go out of your way to find dirt on members of other parties. Did Joe Lieberman refrain from commenting on Clinton’s behavior during Monicagate because they were both Democrats?
Anyways, why is Lee offended by sexual drawings being integrated into the curriculum? There is a lot of sexual ignorance in Taiwan amongst the younger population. Kids can find much more risque pictures on the Internet. As long as it is taught constructively and in the proper context, I don’t see the problem with high-school students drawing such pictures. Routine sex-ed programs IMHO. Based on the pics in the Taiwan News, the book pics looked tame to me. If students are drawing cartoons and stick drawings of sexual positions, I think that is normal and healthy. I was sent to the office many times in high school for drawing very lewd pictures of my French teacher in many textbooks. My drawings made a lot of people laugh and got a lot of people kicked out of class for emulating my art.
I must be OLD for my 32 years…I do find that offensive, and if I ever had a child, I wouldn’t want them drawing pictures of their favored sexual position in a school textbook…it all sounds so f****d up to me!
I agree that sex ed is healthy, of course…but drawing pictures? I don’t know, am I really that old-fashioned for finding that bizarre? I know that the reality of this may have changed since I was a kid, but… :help: do I sound like an old geezer??? :help: :help: :help:
Who would want their child drawing pictures of their favorite position?
The main point mentioned in the Taipei Times was that the book says it is okay to have sex because you can just get the abortion pill afterward.
What that says about not having protection against std’s is scary as well.
Kids grow up so fast anyway, it would be nice to let them be children a little longer and worry more about when to have sex the first time rather than what position to have it in.

Are you serious??? Is this part of the national curriculum or just used by certain schools (or not used at all yet, hopefully)? I missed that Times article entirely…Whoa!
[quote]The lawmaker was also perturbed that the word “home run” was defined in the book as a sexual relationship and that students were asked to “draw” their current and future sex lives.
Lee said one sentence particularly upset him: “Unmarried girls should have an abortion after pregnancy because girls are too young to be mothers and furthermore, RU486 is easily obtained.”[/quote]
Sorry, but, holy SHucking Fit!!
I would be LIVID if my son, or my students showed me a book like this.
How the hell do you draw your future sex life?
Go ahead and fuck girls. You can just self-abort at home.
Where’s the chapter on handjobs and snowblowing?
Taiwan: East Asian hub of educational idiocy. :bravo:
As the original poster was pointing out, these two legislators – 李慶案 and her brother 李慶華 – are disgusting individuals, so I would take their criticisms with a few tons of salt. The point is that sex education is needed but these two would rather curry favor with the narrow-minded and the moralistic by taking cheap shots at a well-intentioned effort.
Speaking of sexual hypocrisy, there was that trip to Macau a few years ago. And also something about Lee Ching-hua’s housekeeper…? But my recollection may be faulty.
The Liberty Times report told how a China-based Taiwanese businessman surnamed Liu had informed the paper that he saw People First Party (PFP) Legislator Diane Lee (李慶安), her brother, Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Lee Ching-hua (李慶華) and their father Lee Huan (李煥), a former premier, together in a Macau casino in May.
According to Liu’s story, the Lee’s were accompanied by a man with a Beijing accent and Lee Ching-hua, along with his father, spent a good deal of time in a “chicken farm,” or whorehouse, on the first floor of the casino.
Her sister’s thesis for the civil service exam was a fraud.
