FRC: CHILDREN OF TABLE 34 WRITER/DIRECTOR TO MEET MEDIA SEPT. 19-20

"A poignant and deeply disturbing production ... that could become a major 
talking point of the presidential campaign." -- The Indianapolis Star

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 1995 -- You've seen the Indianapolis Star's editorial 
about the Family Research Council's recently released in-depth documentary, 
"The Children of Table 34."  Now, Robert Knight, writer/director of the video, 
and Director of Cultural Studies at the FRC, will be in Indianapolis, Sept. 19 
and 20, to meet the press and answer questions about the video.

The documentary asks, "What happened to children at the Kinsey Institute on 
Indiana University's campus in the 1940s?" and according to the Indianapolis 
Star, the documentary "could cause severe embarrassment -- or worse -- to the 
Kinsey Institute."

In 1948, Alfred C. Kinsey shocked the world with publication of "Sexual 
Behavior in the Human Male," the most comprehensive sex survey ever taken of 
American men.  In 1953, the companion volume, "Sexual Behavior in the Human 
Female," was published.  Both books ignited a controversy over sexual morality 
that persists to this day.  Both painted a picture of Americans of all ages 
awash in secret sexual experimentation.  But was the picture real, or one 
man's twisted vision for American society?

Drawing from findings revealed in 1981 by Dr. Judith A. Reisman and explored 
in "Kinsey, Sex and Fraud" (Lochinvar-Huntington House: 1990) by Reisman, 
Edward W. Eichel, Dr. J. Gordon Muir, and Dr. John H. Court, the video 
includes a look at the circumstances and people involved in collecting the 
data that is revealed in orgasm charts (Tables 31 & 34) said to reflect 
children's reactions to stimulation while under observation of "technically 
trained persons" using a "second hand or stop watch."

"After looking at the video, people are compelled to ask, did the researchers 
lie about their findings, or were children actually molested in the name of 
science?" Knight said.  "It's a frightening story, but it doesn't stop there.  
This research is central to current thought on sex education for our children 
today."

"Data collected from pedophiles, in prison and out, has been used as the 
scientific basis to justify everything from condom distribution in schools to 
teaching children how to masturbate, such as former Surgeon General Joycelyn 
Elders advocated," said Knight, who wrote and directed the 30-minute 
documentary, with Charles A. Donovan, executive producer.

Knight said the controversy does not stop with the video's release. "We are 
working with the new Congress to examine a possible scientific fraud so 
horrible as to be every parent's nightmare," Knight said.
