Other than having kids pair off in beds and do the deed, I can't imagine these classes being much worse. The homosexual portions are incredibly offensive to me.

[mattdono]

Is it just me or are these people totally crazy? I don't think that the word "dildo" is ANY appropriate use in a school, even in a "sex education" class.

Maybe I am becoming and old fogie, but I don't remember this type of encouragement in high school. I remember having to carry around a drained egg for 2 weeks to simulate the care that would be needed if I were stupid enough to have sex, get a girl pregnant, and have a baby.

I am certain that isn't taught anymore; rather, the girls are shown how to have sex and simply directed to the nearest abortion clinic.

This is insanity.

[Porterville]

Sad.

It's over, folks. There is a bit of inertial roll left but, basically, for the culture, it's over. And culture being literally the manufactory of the person/citizen...well it's over.

You wouldn't believe what you would see if you could look a mere five years into the future. You wouldn't recognize your own nation. Interesting times ahead.

A couple of things. Here is the theoretical frame work for Focus on Kids:

Providing opportunities to consider the personal and social rewards (pressures) of engaging in sexual risk-taking behavior. Through all its varied learning activities, youth learn to create positive feelings about themselves without engaging in risky behaviors. In addition, in Session Two, youth dispel the myth that all peers approve of risky behavior.

Examining the health risks involved in unprotected sexual behavior. Sessions Two, Three, Four and Seven increase youth's sense of vulnerability to becoming infected with HIV and their awareness about the difficulties of living with HIV.

Identifying the alternatives to sexual risk-taking behavior. Through the SODA Decision Making model, the Family Tree Activities, and role play activities, youth learn to consider the alternatives to risk-taking behavior and practice decision making, communication and condom use skills necessary to act on healthy decisions.

And here is the picture of the guy who wrote this:

Now not to judge a book by its cover, but I wouldn't trust my children around this feral, rat-like-looking, John Holmes-mustache-wearing individual.

It’s bad enough that these sex-ed programs hide under an abstinence-plus label while completely undermining what most parents want for their children. But when they encourage indiscriminate condom use and sexual experimentation, they’re sending kids a ***troubling message*** -- that we expect them to be sexually active and approve of it, provided it’s “safe.” And it’s all billed to you, the taxpayer. Is that what we want?

Understatement of the year. The message is more than "troubling". The secular humanist-moral relativist- whore-mongers want to turn the country into a free-for-all brothel. They are also recruiting future abortion clients. Anyone who doesn't home-school their kids or send them to a decent and trustworthy private school is courting disaster. Not every kid sent to gov't school will get ruined but the odds are very good. Kids are notoriously "peer influenced" - and DO soak up the atmosphere, values and what is being taught. That's why the homo and hedonism promoters want to get at them young. If they waited until the kids were in college, they'd have a much harder time destroying them.

There's always these shocking sex ed articles but I've yet to see someone who's kid was ever in such a class. I haven't heard of such here and I'm "one of those moms" who's at the school regularly. If these classes do exist I can't imagine a couple parents sitting in wouldn't cause the board to change curriculum pronto.

[drhogan]

in my daughter's health class a few years ago they did practice putting condoms on cucumbers. (this is in Northport, NY, which is a pretty liberal area.) i don't know what else they were taught, because my daughters tend to be pretty closed-mouth about these things.
the author of the article should have provided more specific information about how many high schools are doing the things he describes, and he should have provided references. i suspect that this stuff is going on in more liberal communities, but it may not be as widespread as he suggests.
i doubt if anyone who writes about this stuff (on either side) will give us an unbiased account.

[SoftballMominVA]

The Commonwealth of VA allows parents to "opt-out" our children of Family Life Education--AKA Sex Ed. My 10th and 8th graders have never attended a class.

[fishbabe]

nothing like having responbile 12 year olds having sex,orgies and watching hard core porn,while taxpayers are footing the bill to teach them this stuff.......

[kuma]

I've started homeschooling this year. It's comforting to know my children will be receiving a real education.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Some ‘grocery store’ lubricants are safe to use if they do not contain oil: grape jelly, maple syrup and honey.”

Idiots. I won't elaborate...

[WestPacSailor]

This is just one more reason my children will be attending a private, Christian school. They learn about sex and morality, and right vs. wrong where they should, at home and in church.

[FlyVet]

Focus on Kids also has teachers stage “condom races” between teams of students. (Warning: Explicit language ahead.) “Each person on the team must put the condom on the dildo or cucumber and take it off,” the program says. “The team that finishes first wins.”

What sort of person advocates making sex a "game" for children? Could it be......a pervert?

[Scenic Sounds]

And it’s all billed to you, the taxpayer. Is that what we want?

My lady is a teacher. I have just interviewed her for this post. She says that, at her school, sex ed is provided in the seventh grade science class and that the teacher does demonstrate the use of condoms in a very matter of fact way with either a cucumber or a zucchini squash (she isn't sure which). I am not talking about a public school. I'm talking about one of the most exclusive private schools in this country.

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

Home school!

Thanks Jean for posting this.

This type of propaganda in our public schools has been around for years, and is getting worse.....much worse.

James Dobson of Focus on the Family...use to encourage parents to be involved in their children's schools.....work from within.....effect change when you see negatives....etc.

Many of us did just that!

When SexEd came to our county, we networked the whole county ..... making sure many parents who were not aware....became aware of the 'new' curriculum that the school board was about to pass on to our children....kindergarten through 12th grade!
If the schools wouldn't display the curriculum for parents to come by and take a look at...(& many of them did)...we would hold 'curriculum parties' at our homes, and invite our friends and neighbors in.

I happened to be on an advisory board of my son's junior high, so therefore was one of the first parents to see the curriculum.
I was so naive about the political tactics going on.....but I was smart enough to recognize Planned Parenthood's handprints all over this curriculum and what I saw alarmed me!

Hundreds of parents, teachers (the ones not afraid)...business leaders, pastors, etc. started showing up at the board meetings to voice their disapproval....

...and as of 11 years ago, we we were able to turn the tide & insist on an 'abstinence only' curriculum ....(and the School Board continued to do so for a number of years.)

And we were fortunate to get that, because by the time 'we, the parents'....actually heard of the curriculum, it was almost a done deal....

...Tallahassee had already passed it....and it was going to happen. Period!

What we did at the 11th hour, is change the direction from Planned Parenthood curriculum to a absolutely abstinence only curriculum that parents, teacher and pastors helped write.

Even so, many parents saw the handwriting on the wall, and started homeschooling.....and some private Christian schools started up within a year or so, because of the demand of parents for them.

Now, however, it is so bad and so rampant.....James Dobson is no longer telling parents to ..'work within the school to effect change'...

He's telling them to ...PULL YOUR CHILDREN OUT!

Parents, if you don't wake up and take control of this situation, you will look back someday, I think, and regret it!

Even the best parenting, I know, is not always perfect or produces perfect results.....

...but why not try to stem this tide against our children.

Why throw little kindergarten children into unsavory situations that they can't and shouldn't have to handle!!!

Please wake up!

Please!

Yank the cable from your TV, too!

We pulled the cable when our two were in their formative years!

Don't leave your children in Sodom......it's only getting worse!
