First of all, as I just posted above, ANY parent can opt out of these classes - so nothing is being "decided for them," given that permission slips are usually signed before they start.
In some states they are given permission slips to let the kids take classes, in others the parent has to contact the school and request there child be optted out.

LOL I was trying to stay on topic. We just have different observations. Most parents I know became quite impassioned about a parent's right to educate their child as they saw fit, not how the government or schools saw fit, as their own children grew. It's an opinion, that's all.

I hope not. But there are people who rather loudly advocate taking that right away from parents.

Naw. You just notice it more, kind of like I notice liberals spazzing more.

You and every middle school and high school student in the country.
Well I hope public schools ban this website from their school computers for one thing. After reading through this thread a kid wouldn't know which way is up after reading some of the post tossed out here. I just hope the few who claimed to be teachers were kidding.
Kenneth Kaunda and Western Pilgrim should really get together at a cheap motel and have at each other. It seems like every post they make deals with homosexuality. They should just stop denying their basic urges and indulge them.
Be sure and throw Harrier in there for good measure, too.
I swear - it's like they're brothers from different mothers or something. Pretty much interchangeable, if you ask me.
The unfortunate ones of the 100% aversion to the opposite sex can live a life of celibacy, in accordance with the wishes of the Lord.
Actually they can't as Paul said most people were not given that gift. As usual, you know nothing about the Bible or God. You're just using him as justification for your hate of gays. Stop pretending you're Christian. You don't meet any of the criteria.
Ours didn't start until 9th grade (early 70's) .. it was called health class ..
6th grade. I was there. Big deal was made of boys going one place and girls going to another. We learned about our periods and whatnot too. By 9th grade everything is moot altough there was still more health classes to be had and probably repeat of info, which isn't unusual. But it was Jr High as we called it, Middle School today, is when everyone started telling everyone else everything they knew about sex. Stories were told, books were passed around (and not HEALTH books), expiermentation was done by a daring few....mom and dad were not privy to that info and they still aren't.
I'm still a bit confused how learning any of this by either 6th grade or 8th grade or 10th grade has anything to do with homosexual indoctrination.
The proposed curriculum guide is part of a broad range of health courses that also teach nutriition, disease prevention, anatomy and environmental health. It would teach students as early as second grade that using anti-gay slurs is hurtful and teach children in older elementary grades about sexual harassment and abuse.
Students would be told as early as kindergarten to properly name body parts. The concept that people "can love people of the same gender and people of another gender" would be introduced in first grade, though homosexual relationships aren't discussed until fifth grade.
Fifth-graders also would learn that sexual intercourse "includes but is not limited to vaginal, oral, or anal penetration." Teachers would start discussing pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and drugs and alcohol with middle-schoolers, while high school students would learn about sexual orientation and the "legal implications" of some decisions.
