We have a nice portion of religious leaders in my family. And the children all go to religious schools and colleges.

Why?????
Did you even read the article? Here's a quote from the article "Mandated sex-ed for Chicago kindergartners will include instruction about male and female anatomy and reproduction" sheesh

Why on earth would anyone be against children learning sex education? Considering the attitude and qualities of teens these days, if they don't learn at school, they won't learn anywhere.

Knowledge does not cause pregnancy. It answers questions that children have. If your child is old enough to ask a question, s/he's old enough for an age-appropriate answer.

The day a child stops asking questions is the day their soul has died. The art of parenthood is to *teach* your children to *want* to learn. Not keep them from doing it.

Is it cognitive dissonance taken to extremes?

And what in that article screams "teaching sex" to you?
Did you somehow miss jj's post from the parenting site?
Do you somehow think reproduction=Kamasutra?

Teaching that the proper name for a vagina is not teaching sex.
Teaching the proper name for a penis is not teaching sex.
Teaching about basic reproduction is not teaching sex.

"Boys have penises"
"girls have vaginas"
"babies are made when a tiny cell from a man called a sperm combine with a tiny cell from a woman called an egg"

Where did I just discuss sex?

I don't understand why people want the government to raise their children, is it that people are too selfish or just too lazy to do it themselves? This is probably the biggest downfall in our future.

Ask the conservatives who think that TV should be censored so children can't see premarital sex.
GOP Hypocrisy?

So I take it you don't think public schools should exist at all? I mean, shouldn't the parents be teaching their children everything - and not be so lazy to put that on the schools? They did just fine without schools for hundreds of years, right?

Btw, I fail to see how teaching kids basic sex ed = raising the kids for their parents. Is that all there is to raising a child? Sounds easy!! And if you're as anti-control (yeah right) as you claim to be, I'd think you would support offering ALL possible courses and giving parents the option of opting out; which is how things work now. But nooooo, what you actually DO want is control, but cannot see the forest for the trees.
