Hear, hear!
Just got a form from my son’s middle school (he’s in the 6th grade) letting us know about upcoming sexual education courses. There are evening meetings for parents to hear what they would like to teach our children about sex.
My first thought: I’ve taught my son all that is appropriate for him to understand about his body and human sexuality (the biology of it all, the purpose, etc.). I don’t need the school to do this for me; it’s my job as a parent.
And my follow-up thought: they’ve been ‘educating’ kids about sex for years, under the guise of informing them so they can make better decisions. All I’m seeing is continued teen pregnancy and STD diagnosis, an increase in promiscuity, and a lapse in morality. How is this ‘education’ helping again?
What astounds me from this article: ‘Just because you have a baby doesn’t mean your life is over.’ What a horribly sad statement on their view of human life.
