You know in Sweden or Switzerland (forget which) they start teaching 6-7 year olds general things about it (anatomy). When they reach 12 they start talking about condoms and STDs and thanks to those programs they have less teen pregnancies than the U.S.
Switzerland? Thanks but no thanks.

"The guide included with the kit instructs kindergarten teachers to "show that contacting body parts can be pleasurable." It also recommends having children massage each other or to rub themselves with warm sand bags, all accompanied by soft music."

"Children should be encouraged to develop and experience their sexuality in a pleasurable way," Daniel Schneider, a deputy kindergarten rector for Basel who helped develop the sex ed curriculum along with experts, told the paper."

The reason why my younger children will never see the inside of a public school.

There's going to be a backlash. If the Christians can't get it done, the Muslims will. Liberals, take your pick.

We all should be able to agree on that, but some people are authoritarian pieces of crap. Yes liberals, you are just as bad as the social conservatives you hate, you just have different material to shove down everyone's throats.

Get a grip, guys. I really think you have no idea what your little "darlings" are looking up online, even if you think they aren't.

Ohhhhhhhhh come on parents are not as naive as they let out to be, they don't want to know! What their little darlings are doing online and off?

What has gotten to me is Parents that don't take the responsibility of teaching their children about sex education. But they get all fired up if the school is.

I feel children would rather know then not, and like it when their parents do sit down and have the talk with them, shows that you the parents do care.

It's either there or the internet. You'd be surprised what your kids are pulling up on their Iphones at 10 years of age. Wouldn't be surprised at all if the vast majority of kids under 12 have already been exposed dozens of times to hardcore porn.

Especially if they're Catholic.

Oh please. That is what Hollywood and the liberal left want everyone to believe. In reality, there are plenty of kids with good, involved parents out there who are not exposed to this kind of trash (as long as they are not enrolled in a public school, that is...)
