This made me sick. Sorry but 5 year olds do NOT need to be taught about sex. Any sex.
"A group of parents in a California school district say they are being bullied by school administrators into accepting a new curriculum that addresses bullying, respect and acceptance -- and that includes compulsory lessons about the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community that will be taught to children as young as 5 years old.
The proposed curriculum will include a 45-minute LGBT lesson, once a year from kindergarten through fifth grade. The kindergartners will focus on the harms of teasing, while the fifth graders will study sexual orientation stereotypes."
This is taking away any right a child or a parent has to make a choice. The parents have been informed that they,"will have no legal right to remove their children from class when the lessons are being taught." And the school board is serious. Parents do not have a choice to opt out.
The only thing a school should be teaching in regards to human sexual interaction is about the reproductive system. Period.
