You are correct, I was thinking you were one of the others who insist that they will be teaching sex to 5 Y/O children.

I apologize.

Why shouldn't children know about basic reproduction? Any child that lives in the country knows this stuff before school. Mine did from the farm, and family pets.

The left can't teach their children?.. that is why they want the schools to take on that responsibility. It is called parenting and that they don't understand that facet.

I just think it's unnecessary at 5, they really need to concentrate on the basics at that age, it's the most important time in their lives when they start school, once they are behind most of them are lost and children are the most important asset to our future.

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.
When I went to school I went to a public school and we read from the bible daily. We even prayed.. today the left would be fighting tooth and nail to separate God's word from the children and replace it with sex education.

Its really a shame that so-called religious people hate others that are not like them.
Please spare me the homilies, some people hate anyone that doesnt agree with them, and then wonder why atheists exist.
Causal effect.

It can easily be covered with basic science class. They study animals, animals reproduce.
Even things like story books can cover the topic.

Why don't you lefties just request hard porn 24 hours a day on tv to educate your kids as you see fit.

Right... that's why "the left" has higher educational achievements overall.

Do you just mimic FOX News, or are you coming up with these ridiculous comebacks yourself? Either way, I think you need to try again - this time with facts.
