having the sex talk and teaching children the birds and the bees is way different than teaching them what was on that homework assignment. i would not be happy at all if my son came home with that assignment. sex ed is important and needed for our children at a young age. homosexuality and gender identification and all of that is not something that 6th graders need to be learning at school.

my opinion.

But they already talk about it even as young as third grade. "So and so is gay'. Do they know what it means? It seems so but perhaps not.

Exactly. I remember kids running around pointing at each other saying "UR SO GHEY UR GAY UR GAY UR GAY".

They need to eventually learn that that's not okay.

It should be saved for a course in psychology dealing with mental illness. And there is no such thing as gender identity. It's a made up term used by libs to normalize the abnormal.

We shouldn't let a bunch of uptight tw4ts dictate sex Ed from the 50s be taught today.

Exactly...and it's working.

Why would the school even need to know something like this? I would tell my kid to put "I don't know" for all the questions.

Some would say there's something psychologically wrong with perennial bigots. But, you do you.

Dear God, I cant imagine how shocked you are going to be when they get the diagram to label the different parts of the sex organs.
I suggest that there are a whole lot of more important health topics that can be focused on in Health Ed.

It's liberalism pushing all of this crap.
BS. 6th grade is when girls started growing larger chests. Puberty starts around that age. Countries with much more robust sex ed have far fewer unwanted pregnancies/abortions/STI's.
