The birds and the bees? Fine for high school kids.

But sex toys, erotic touch and orgasms?

Nothing they can’t get by watch MTV, BET, ABC Family Channel or any other network. Funny thing is that the commercials are usually worse than the shows.

Kinda funny in a twisted way since the east bay is lib central. They think zero and moonbeam are just awesome.

I have a daughter in high school. She’s a good kid, with great values about sex and drugs. I know, because I am very involved in her life and we talk frankly about everything. Her friends are amazed at the things she shares with me.

Any parent of a teenager, assuming they don’t have their heads completely up their butts (I mean the parents, not the teenagers), knows full well that kids today have free unlimited online access to the hardest core porn imaginable.

That’s to say nothing of the current pop music, with barely censored radio versions of obscene lyrics that can be easily accessed in uncensored form on YouTube. And don’t even get me started on the TV shows and movies.

And then there are the social media sites, such as Omeagle, where a kid can have live video chats with strangers — many of whom are masturbating teen-aged boys, bare-breasted girls and adult pedophiles.

If you think “putting the computer in the family room” is any kind of solution, you are more clueless than Emily Litella. Kids have access to online devices everywhere, from their friends, if nowhere else. They all have, and really need smart phones these days. You may think they don’t, but my experience is different. Besides, even if kids don’t have mobile devices and/or tablets, their friends sure do.

Through online access, most average teen-age girls have seen more penises than the average 50-year-old woman.

The job of parents, and of the public schools, rightly is to help and encourage their teenagers say “no” to sex for as long as possible.

That schools encourage kids and teenagers to have sex, and instruct them how to do it, should be criminal.

...erotic touch and orgasms?

Don't know if things have changed much since I was a teenager in the 1980's. But it was my experience that most teenagers were amazingly quick at figuring out those things without the help of a textbook ;-)

Unfortunately, in today's society, your kids don't have a chance. As Maceman excellently detailed in reply #4 above, your kids are surrounded by sexual content. And it's only gonna get worse. Satan is having a field day with this country.

Lessen this by home schooling your kids or enrolling them in a conservative, Christian school. I know it's not cheap, but, hey, this is your kids we're talking about.

If this was a genuine text on health it would state that male queers lead the nation in vectoring infectious agents to innocent people, especially young boys, and that coprophagic behavior is one of their prime methods for exchanging infectious agents. It might also mention that the average male homo has the shortest lifespan of any destructive behavior. But hey, we can’t let the scientific facts get in the way of advancing the homosexual way.

Whatever happened to health books that teach sexual education with the same clinical attitude that they teach the liver and kidneys? Teach how the parts work and what diseases you can get from misusing them. No one would promote a health book where Ted Kennedy-style liver cirrhosis is merely an alternate lifestyle choice.

Can persons under 18 even legally be sold such “toys”?

Let the vice squad stake out the public schools.

It “used” to be called “corrupting a minor” and we had things like age of consent laws too.

Now the educrats corrupt minors and encourage experimentation.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

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.
