They are much, much too young to even be thinking about sex and sexual acts at their age are the worst form of pedophilia, but Chicago public schools think little boys and girls in kindergarten are ready for sex ed classes.
From a local report:
Some people may think a five-year old is too young for sex education. Administrators with Chicago Public schools do not.
New to the curriculum this year, mandatory sexual and health education for kindergarten classes. CBS 2’s Dorothy Tucker took at look at the lesson the little ones will be learning.
But parents are already up in arms about not only how appropriate the classes are but whether they distract from real education.
Like every other kindergartner, Angelina Yang is learning reading, writing, arithmetic–and now sexual health education.
“I want to know what kind of education she is receiving before she gets that education,” said Angelia’s mom, Stella. ‘As a parent, I have a right to know.”
“If he has questions, I’m happy to answer them, but I’m not sure it belongs in a classroom setting,” said parent Brooke Lyon.
“The new policy calls for 300 minutes of instruction or about 30 minutes a month,” the report says.
North Carolina is also pushing sex education programs on kids and PLanned Parenthood pushes sex ed on 11-year-olds.
ETR Associates—a sex program clearinghouse and offshoot of Planned Parenthood of Santa Cruz—admits on its webpage that a program being taught in North Carolina schools and elsewhere across the nation teaches toward four major “outcome expectancies or behavioral beliefs.” Belief number 4 is described in the ETR overview as “Hedonistic Beliefs.” Hedonistic philosophy places pleasure above everything else—as the greatest good.
There is not even 30 minutes a month of “sexual health” information that could be of use to young children. Here’s all I can think of:
In the Good Old Days, all that pre-pubescent children needed to know was covered under “basic civilization”: things like “flush” and “keep your pants on.”
Seems the public schools are full of perverts and child abusers. Shut them all down. It is no wonder our youth are so full of sexual confusion and aggression.

Another Reason to Homeschool
The following is one of my rants that I posted on another thread. Government schools must be abolished.
Wintertime’s Rant:
If you read my posts you will see that I almost never comment on the academic success or failure of government schooling.
These are a few of my objections ( none of which are based on academic success or failure):
—It is utterly impossible to have a religiously, culturally, and politically neutral education. Such a philosophical state can not exist in the mind of any sentient human. It is true also for the classroom.
Therefore...Government schooling is a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination for those who are under police threat to use the schools or to fund them.
—Government schooling is currently godless in their religious worldview. Godless is **NOT** religiously neutral in content or consequences for the child or for the larger culture. Children who attend these godless schools ( many under the threat of police action) **WILL** learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate in the godless classroom, read their godless texts, a do their godless home assignments. How could it possibly be otherwise.
Therefore....It is a freedom of conscience and human rights abuse to force any child into a godless environment or to force taxpayers to pay for the ESTABLISHMENT of godlessness in the larger culture.
-—Government K-12 schooling is a single-payer, compulsory-use, socialist-entitlement. The children who attend risk learning that any voting mob powerful enough to give a child tuition-free schooling is powerful enough to give them LOTS of “free” stuff and use the threat of police force to make them use it.
My grandparents ( born in the 1860s and70s), my grandmother ( born 1894), and my father ( born 1913) all attended the nation’s first state owned and controlled K-12 socialist-entitlement schools. It was these generations that gave the nation Woodrow, Wilson, the Federal Reserve , the 16th and 17th amendments, prohibition, the failed League of Nations, violent unions, the cyrpto-Marxist Franklin D. Roosevelt with his New Deal, and LBJ with his Great Society. It has only grown worse since then.
—There are NO studies that prove that prison-like and Prussian model government schooling even works! It is UNKNOWN where and how the child acquires his knowledge. It is my anecdotal observation that academically successful institutionalized children and homeschoolers are spending the SAME AMOUNT OF TIME studying IN THE HOME!!!
Maybe, just maybe, taxpayers fork over a universe of money to fund a system that is completely USELESS in imparting knowledge to the child. Maybe, just maybe, the only thing government schools do is send home a very expensive curriculum for parents, the child, and paid or unpaid tutors to follow IN THE HOME!!
— Most government owned and run schools resemble prisons. In fact, from a distance of more than a block or two it is hard to tell the difference between a government school and a prison. Cliques, with their fashion trends, share many of the characteristics of prison protection gangs! The child is confined to a government assigned space. He is march around with people of the government choosing to the sound of bells. The government tells him when he will urinate and defecate. The government tells him when he will eat, rest, and exercise. The government orders state approved exercise and his play areas resemble prison exercise yards. Government school buses look like prison transport.
— There are government schools in this nation that are soooooooo horrifically dangerous and drug infested that it would be better for the child to NEVER GO TO SCHOOL!! Illiteracy and innumeracy can be fixed. Dead or permanently disabled can’t be.
-—Children waiting for their government transport to school look like day laborers lined up outside Home Depot.
—Government schooling violates The First Amendment Right of the child, his parents, and the taxpayer. Freedom of speech is strictly controlled by the state, Most the time the child is ordered to shut up. The rest of the time he my only speak in a politically correct ( Orwellian controlled) manner. He can not publish freely. His freedom to assemble is destroyed, first by being forced into a prison-like environment. and then by being forced to assemble with people of the governments choosing. And...The godless and religiously NON-neutral worldview of secular humanism surrounds him like water for a fish.
It is NOT natural to segregate children away from their parents and the larger society. More than 150,000 years of human experience screams against such a inhumane practice. Our human ancestors would be APPALLED that we treat children these way.
Therefore....Given all the reasons listed above GOVERNMENT K-12 SCHOOLING IS CHILD ABUSE!!
Homos hire other homos.
The government schools are full of them.
And...Nearly all the teachers in this nation were trained by Marxists in Marxist run colleges of education. This true for both private and government schooling.
Scary!
Why are Christians and conservatives still sending children into the government indoctrination camps? In some counties and states, the entire evil system could be shut down if Christians and conservatives merely removed their kids.
Finally,....I bet God is annoyed with our nation. I bet he is especially annoyed with Christians and conservatives who let these abominable K-12 indoctrination camps remain open.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
