"... middle and high school students will be forced to take the mandatory classes, according to a report first published in The New York Times.

"One of the lessons includes instruction on how to properly use a condom."

"Children as young as 11 years old will take part in discussions on a variety of topics ranging from the risks of unprotected sex to the appropriate age for sexual activity, the newspaper reported."

What, pray tell, will the public schools tell the 11 year old children is the "appropriate age for sexual activity?"

Gee, are they dropping math or science from the curriculum so they can teach this very important social skill.

It's a wonder in itself that people managed for all these years without the government needing to tell guys how to put on a condom.

Are these kids orphans with no parents ?

Just another reason to get the government out of the schools.

Schools started out teaching academics..you know, reading, writing and arithmetic.

The rest was learned at home or at church.
Between feeding them, dressing them and teaching them tolerance, diversity and now how to prepare for sex there's little time left to learn how to read isn't there ?

And at exactly what age, do you want your child "learning" from her teacher that its okay to begin sexual activity?

I think that's the point. If they learn to read too well, they just might start learning to think for themselves and find out about the opportunities this country used to afford.

so should kids not learn about sex? I don't see the reason for the outrage, tbh. No flame.
