The father of a 13 year-old girl who was upset by a classroom poster that listed sex acts was shocked to hear that the poster is part of her schools health and science curriculum. Mark Ellis said his daughter, a student at Hocker Grove Middle school was shocked by what she saw on a poster on a classroom wall. Originally, Ellis assumed the poster was a student prank, until he called the school and discovered it was part of the curriculum. Why would you put it in front of 13 year-old students? he asked. The poster, How Do People Express Their Sexual Feelings? lists sex acts such as: Oral Sex, Sexual Fantasy, Caressing, Anal Sex, Dancing, Hugging, Touching Each Others Genitals, Kissing, Grinding, and Masturbation. After being told by the school principal the poster was teaching material, Ellis is now concerned about what his daughter is being taught in school.
District spokeswoman Leigh Anne Neal said The poster is actually part of our middle school health and science materials, and so it is a part of our district approved curriculum. Neal added that the curriculum is similar to those used by other schools around the country.
According to the publisher's website, the goal of the program is: ...to empower young adolescents to change their behavior in ways that will reduce their risk of pregnancy and HIV or other STD infection. Specifically, this curriculum emphasizes that young adolescents should postpone sexual activity and that practicing abstinence is the only way to eliminate the risk for pregnancy and STDs, including HIV.
Ellis thinks the curriculum should change.
This has nothing to do with abstinence or sexual reproduction, actually, a lot of these things, he said. I would like to see that this particular portion of the curriculum is removed from the school.

American public schools are totally broken. The Department of Education was just about the worst thing the U.S. government has inflicted on its citizens. We can thank that imbecilic Jimmy Carter for that one.
“Illicit”?
Make the sacrifice, ditch the yearly cruise, ditch Disney, ditch the $129.99 triple play for cable, sell the “classic” car and the boat...do whatever it takes and get your kids out of government school!!!!!
I live in this school district. My 13 year old granddaughter lives and goes to school in the one just SW of here. It’s supposed to be one of the top 5 schools in the country. This is Kansas for crying out loud!!!
The poster is hardly the tip of the iceberg, what else are they teaching them?
public schools are public schools, it does not matter where they are.
The government units closest to our beautiful, innocent children show their immoral perversity.
Have we had enough YET???
The school board, principal and teachers should all be charged with child abuse and have to register as child sex offenders.
That’s all I have to say about that.
One thing they are teaching the, you can be sure, is that anyone who reacts against these horrible government intrusions is a bad, bad person.
Yep, Jimmy Carter gave us the Department of Education.
I always wonder — do we have better education in this country, because we have a Department of Education?
Do we have better energy policies because we have a Department of Energy?
We could go down the list of various governmental agencies. But these two agencies were started in the 70s to allegedly deal with serious national problems in these areas. Yet have they succeeded in their goals????
If I walked up to a child and started talking about vaginal sex, masturbation or most of the other things listed there, I certainly would EXPECT to be arrested as a sex offender.
Notice this poster equates anal sex with holding hands and hugging!
That’s not much of a poster. There aren’t even any pictures.
And have their names and pictures pasted on those pervert-alert warning posters displayed in public places to inform the unwary of the sickos in our midst.
I wonder if this filthy poster is part of the "Common Core" curriculum.
Everyone responsible at that school should be arrested.
It is illegal.
I’m shocked - holding hands can spread influenza!
