When my now 11yo was about 8 she grabbed hold of one of our tom cats and tossed him away from our oldest female and stated “Leave her alone, she’s not having any more kittens.”
She doesn’t need sex ed in school, she’s learned it all from the barn cats..............LOL
>>She doesnt need sex ed in school, shes learned it all from the barn cats..............LOL<<
That’s the way they SHOULD be learning it!
You know I don’t hate public schools, but it really depends on where you are.
Here in Detroit, this stuff does go on.
We walk with public school friends in the summer. That mom told me about this stuff. She was shocked and now knows of a couple moms who want to homeschool so “Can you talk to them?”
It really depends on each district. Here, North of Detroit, this stuff is true.
NO, you are not, but like me, you will be called not only a liar but an enabler of this nonsense.
Some of this crap may go on in some school districts, but the haters of public schools on this forum believe there is no such thing as a good public school system and those of us with children in them or who teach in them are nothing less than child abusers.
Gabz, i assure you this DOES go on in public schools in VA, albeit not in your part of the state. i understand that you try to counteract the kneejerk public school bashing on FR, but this stuff is neither imagined nor exaggerated. you cannot hold up the eastern shore as proof that it isn’t happening. as you know there have been lawsuits in Montgomery Co. MD and in NoVA as well.
Well, she’s lucky she doesn’t go to school in Montgomery County, MD.
Check out “detective’s” post above.
Ive always opted out my kids from FLE - they never took it from K-10.
But I’ve looked at the curriculum and in the official VA FLE, there is nothing like this in it. However, if a county wants to add to FLE, I think they are free to do it.
I would imagine that FLE in inner city Richmond is more explicit than that taught in the exurbs or rural areas
Their goals come straight from the ruler of this world, their ideological “father”. Ref John 8:44
Not true at all, but I am willing to bet that it exists just as this person states in the vast majority of schools around the country. If you are from soutern areas of Va. then it is still conservative down there, but NoVa is very different. I grew up in Annandale, and now I hardly recgonize the place when I go back to visit, so I don’t anymore.
The writer isn't stating that every school district is using the Planned Parenthood-recommended materials, which are nothing short of salacious. (The author gives examples in her book's introduction.) She advocates reading the book, checking your district's sex ed curriculum, and deciding if there's anything to be alarmed about.
I taught in public schools, big city and suburban, for 30 years. In one of the suburban schools, I witnessed a protracted community uproar over the sex ed curriculum, which was modified considerably after the uproar.
Gee, those are the reasons many of my friends have been given by their children to NOT attend the local private school.
Jen, you have obviously done well and I applaud you and your parents for that, however, you have no experience with public school systems, and therefore no credibility with finding fault with them.
My husband and his sisters and nieces all went through a public school system so pathetic it ranks with NYC, DC, and Chicago, yet every one of them is a productive member of society. We left Delaware primarily because our child is so bright and we are unable to keep up with her. Virginia public schools are far superior to what we had available to us.
I applaud the fact you, unlike others, are rare to criticize those of us who choose public schooling. I truly hope you keep up with that position.
Similarly to you, we send our children to a Seventh Day Adventist school, and even tho’ we aren’t SDAs have been delighted with the academic and moral instruction there.
Our eldest has moved on to a public school, and I am now deeply concerned as to what they might be teaching for “sex education”. I have made a memo to myself to raise the question during the upcoming Parent/Teacher Interviews.
So, even though she was homeschooled, i would imagine she's had some exposure through the education her brother receives at the local public school.
I am in total agreement with you on that. Had we not been able to move I know for a fact Jax would not be in public school.

About the best sex-ed for 5 year olds is that boys/girls have cooties.
Yes, kids to need to find out, but the level to which they’re being indoctrinated these days virtually always seems to be age inappropriate.
Yes, XS, I do realize it does go on, I’m not that naive.
My point is that it does not happen everywhere, which is the point of this article.
I am the first one to support suits against this kind of crap, and you know my position on lawsuits in general.
When I was 12, my dad gave me the “facts of life” talk. After he’d finished, I looked at him and said, “Sounds like science fiction, Dad.” True story.
