You really have to be very careful when you consider on-line charter schools offered by the state. Parents who use them are no longer homeschoolers and their children are public school students subjected to the same garbage as a child who attends a brick and mortar school.

I hope your friend passed the word along to her fellow homeschoolers (the real ones).

My brother in CA pulled his daughter out of a supposedly good public school and put her into a Christian school. He didn't like what was going on.

Yes, my post was about Florida.....11 years ago....

I stayed in touch with this curriculum at some level until he graduated from highschool.

The poster who made the statement that no one he/she knows has been subjected to this 'porno ed'.....and implied, therefore that it doesn't exist.

It exists where there is a void of involved parents watchdogging their children's schools.....!

And yes, it is Planned Parenthood trying to control the curriculum....

...Planned Parenthood.../ Sex Ed.....Follow the dots!!

It seems that the "gay lobby" (read: almost every person in show business...at least it seems) has made it chic to be gay. What I find weird and (of course) 100% hypocritical is that gay people talk about being born this way or it being a "lifestyle" choice. Ok, so why is it somehow "wrong", "uncool", or whatever to be a heterosexual?

The first law of homosexuality:

'Homosexuals' don't reproduce, they recruit

Also, no mention of the growing number of ex-'homosexuals' is ever tolerated. Funny how you can be recruited 'into' homosexuality but never, ever, ever cured out of it.

Should this kind of information only be provided to kids in private schools?

NO. It should not be provided to kids at all. They'll have plenty of time to learn about condoms after they are married.

All of institutional (as opposed to familial) sex ed can be summed up in a few short sentences:

Don't have sex before you're married. If you do you will screw up your life. Leave adult problems to the adults.

big bump - NEA wants your children

All I hope is that I don't get teachers with an "agenda". So far it's been ok. I don't think the professor realized how offensive his guest speaker was, until we all spoke up.

Having to watch that must have been very uncomfortable for you. It would be like walking in on your folks :-/

[Scenic Sounds]

I really don't know why condom demonstrations are required in any schools at all, so I shan't lose a wink of sleep worrying that some elite private school kids get to watch this nonsense while some public school children are deprived of the spectacle, no matter how "matter of factly" it is done.

Actually, the major reason for my post was to dispel the notion that sex-ed was the peculiar creature of public schools. ;-)

I graduated in 1991. The most in depth thing that happened in school was in my Human Relations class, rather than sex-ed. Even that was very mild compared to now. The biggest thing that happened was (1) a couple from the crisis pregnancy center gave a talk (2) the class president -- who wound up pregnant -- gave a talk (both were talks about it can happen the first time) and (3) the health dept. showed gross slides of what stds look like.
As far as sex-ed class... I remember some silly film (c. early 1980s) in seventh grade about some girl getting pregnant and having to forget about her track career. When interviewed and ask how long she thought she would have to care for her child, her answer was 4 or 5 years. I was only 12 and thought she was a bonehead.

It seems to me that you have to teach students something about sex. You can't just tell them that the stork brings babies. Or can you? ;-)

Thanks for setting me straight.

Exactly right. that's why we have parents. It's not the gov's job to teach our kids about sex. No metter what the gov teaches they will be wrong. Each parent must educate their own children

(Yes I mean abolish the gov schools entirely)

Didn't Mexico used to have that system? ;-)
