I'm not sure why some of you are thinking about this so black and white. You say you're not threatened, then why do you think this is going to over-ride the role of the parent? Why can't you see it as a valuable supplement to parenting?
I'm pretty sure that teen pregnancy, STI, use of birth control, and other statistics speak to the necessity of this type of education. Oh, and lets not forget hate crimes and discrimination against gays, lesbians, bisexual, transgendered, and any other person who doesn't fit the heteronormative beliefs instilled in society. ;) |
because I think you're forgeting how you were when you were 12 - talking with teachers about this was embarrasing no matter how awesome the teacher was
as a 12 year old, I felt much more comfortable talking to my mom about my period
sex in general I cannot comment on because I never had any sex-ed classes |

Its not up to the school to teach a broad range of beliefs. They don't teach children about Santa Claus in school and they shouldn't try and teach my child about other peoples beliefs regarding sex. |

exactly. Relying on parents to prepare their children has not worked. Hopefully parents will make the effort to adequately inform their children but our schools, (being the second-most influential aspect of a child's life) have a social obligation to ensure that children are properly informed.
This is not a matter of morals ~ it is a matter of public health that impacts society at-large. |

That's you, I already said I was different (I played with Barbies till I was like 14 lol, late bloomer much?)
already 2 different people
So regardless, my point stands - sex-ed in school = awesome, but parents have to do their job at home too, no this giving your kid a book non-sense
Why on Earth would they be uncomfortable? |

you can educate on sexual diseases without telling a child whether or not they are ready for sex. |

Right, and I'm not arguing against that. In fact, I'm pretty sure nobody anywhere is trying to say that sex-education in schools should replace good parenting.
There's no reason a rational, sane, educated person shouldn't be able to see this is a valuable and beneficial supplement to their own guidance as parents...unless they feel threatened by it. Which is stupid, lol. |

... and STIs and early-pregnancy are not the only negative Health Issues that a Solid Sexual Education Curriculum can combat. |
