"I dare you... Hold up the textbook in front of the camera and show them a picture of what 10-year-olds are going to be asked to see." That was Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers's (R) challenge to reporters, when they asked him about his fierce response to the radical Left's sex ed. He pointed to a book, called It's Perfectly Normal, that isn't normal at all -- unless you're one of those rare individuals who think teaching anal sex to five-year-olds is a good idea.
Arizona State Superintendent Kathy Hoffman's (D), Twitter profile shows a picture of the new officeholder carrying a sign that says, "#IAmPublicEducation." And after hearing her vision for sexualizing kids, that's exactly what parents are afraid of. "I couldn't even read the manual to you over the radio," State Senator Sylvia Allen (R-Ariz.) told me on "Washington Watch" Monday.

And when you read the material, you can only come to the conclusion that if they're going to give [kindergarteners] on up different types of information, the only reason for that is because you are... giving them information to help sexualize them."
Bowers, who is fighting alongside Allen, agreed. The dad of seven has been on a one-man mission to keep the curriculum changes the state derailed in June off track. "I don't need to sexualize children and tell them how to masturbate,'' he said.

That said, I'm not in favor of over intellectualizing the mate selection process; but I believe there could and should be reasonable practical marriage education for young people—life goals, mate selection, effective communication, conflict resolution, finance and budgeting, childrearing issues, etc— developed as a curriculum in churches.
I’ve said for years that EVERYTHING liberals do, EVERYTHING, they do to increase their odds of having sex.
But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Mattew 18:6
Who would be in charge of that reasonable practical marriage education?
Exactly the problem, and perhaps the reason why it hasn't been done in Protestant churches. At least Catholics have their version, Pre-Cana (God only knows what Francis will do to disable that), and many parishes also support a premarital version of the Marriage Encounter program.
“Governor Mitt Romney instituted a curriculum of this crap when he ran Massachusetts,”
Makes sense. Get those little girls ready for when some scummy pervert old Mormon guy gets a hankering to add another wife to his harem. Makes perfect sense.
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.
