I get a kick out of the libs bleating and braying about sex ed for 5 YO but see nothing about real education. Pretty much sums up what is important to libs......................... Anything below the waist. Nothing above the neck.
It is actually really easy to teach ANY 5 year old about inappropriate touching.

If it is covered by your bathing suit no one should be touching it.

The article said they are doing this because Cook county is the #1 in the country for STDs.
So they are doing this earlier in hopes of falling out of #1 position on sexually transmitted diseases.

Not because they want to teach 5 year olds about telling an adult that someone is touching them.

Pretty sad..431,000 students in their schools and they are more worried about sex education than Math/Reading/Science.

Should we teach them of the danger before or after it happens?
According to some, apparently they just pretend nothing bad ever happens and call anyone that has the hubris to disagree with them juvenile names.
Just sayin'.

Make up my mind. Do you want to teach sex ed or stranger danger? Inappropriate touching is easy to teach without getting into the subject of sex. You tell children that if they touch you here, here, here and here, that is wrong and they should tell someone.

Sounds like they need to spend money to create a program that lasts for the school year (10 months) to tell them that one sentence that parents can't seem to find the time to say themselves to their kids.

Here are a few more FACTS.

One in three girls and one in six boys are sexually abused before the age of 18

Many child sexual abuse victims never disclose their abuse to anyone. Less than 10% of child sexual abuse is reported to the police.

Children are most vulnerable between ages 8 -12.

29% of all forcible rapes occurred when the victim was under 11 years old.

15% of sexual assault and rape victims are under the age of 12.

Children with disabilities are 4 to 10 times more vulnerable to sexual abuse than their non-disabled peers.

Nearly 30% of child sexual assault victims identified by child protective service agencies were between 4 and 7 years of age.

93% of juvenile sexual assault victims know their attacker, 34.2% of attackers were family members and 58.7% were acquaintances and only 7% of the perpetrators were strangers to the victim.

Nearly 50 % of all the victims of forcible sodomy, sexual assault with an object, and forcible fondling are children under the age of 12.

Like rape, child molestation is one of the most underreported crimes: only 1-10% are ever disclosed. Source: FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin.

IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THERE ARE 60 MILLION SURVIVORS OF CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE IN AMERICA TODAY.



What about these children? How was their childhood?
Maybe if they had been taught that it was unacceptable for someone to touch them in those areas, and it was good for them to tell a trusted adult, they might have actually had a childhood.

Libs will do anything to keep the money spigot open and fund their existence no matter how lame and ridiculous it is.

And yet you say parents don't have the time to tell this to their kids and that's why Chicago schools will implement a sex education program for kindergartner ?

From what I've read there is more to it than inappropriate touching.

It's not about preventing abuse..it's about the rising numbers of STDs among Chicago youth.
