I did. Im fine with sex education as it is , its nothing to do with 'romance'.
I believe these types of non quantitative undocumented ideals and theories should be learned from family and community and not the public educational system which bends to the will of political agendas,,
and if not,, I absolutely hope it is always the case that these things are not 'mandatory' but able to be opted out of....
Well said ^^^^^ It is up to the parents/ family & cultural/ religions views. RESPECTING those, does NOT mean anyone is living in the " dark ages " ... that is the media & agenda talking & pushing all this.
Assuming that those parents or groups.. objecting to any or all of the teaching are a 'small vocal minority' is a mistake & underestimating people.
Teaching ...
1- Romance - it is not necessary for a marriage and can & will insult the people who STILL do have & arrange marriages & do not see 'romance' as 'necessary' for engagement. And those who view FAMILY as the focus & NOT themselves.* Disney movie?
...*
2- Birth Control - not all people approve or what their children taught that.
3- Oral & **** sex- is still illegal in many states & not all people believe those acts are okay or natural, or spiritual or even permissible.
4- Abortion- legal yes. Accepted- not always, sometimed never.
5-Premarital Sex - of ANY kind. Not ALL people approve or want that taught as 'the norm' or even IMPLIED.
Again- there are still laws that exist that ANY sex, outside of marriage is illegal. And their are divorce, lawsuits over it. Not to mention any 'Faith based ' lifestyle.
ALL these ^^^^ teachings IS dangerous because it is THREATING to Families, Religious & Culturals ... of ANY kind in the world.
Taking the POWER away from the PARENTS (& their beliefs... whatever that is, even if it is ONLY opinion) is dangerous. It is just a STATE DICTATING to them, HOW THEIR children & family SHOULD be.
This is NOT about education. It is about STATE control.
* Besides- there is NO REAL evidence that teaching any of the current or new agenda will HELP or SAVE or PREVENT anything... just because people can refer to something as 'educational' or 'knowledge', does NOT make it a GOOD thing *
That's my opinion. It won't change anyone's opinion here or forums or the world. Not intended to.
And nobody can change mine either.
Surprised
if anyone could think they are that powerful
Hell... I'm surprised my thread is still going... * imaging pat on the back smiley *
...There is always two sides to every coin...My belief or philosophy is information and awareness is key..Even though you and I disagree about making Sex and Relationship Education a mandatory subject in EVERY state, I do feel it is also imperative that EVERY state give parents the right to opt-out for their kids...The reason I feel this way is because it tells me that the parents who wish to instruct and educate their kids "their" way are engaged, they are parenting, they are doing their job!...But what happens to those kids who are living in homes that are without love, guidance, nurturing?...Those are the kids who can and do benefit when they receive "quality" information about human sexuality....The bottom line for me is, as adults, all of us are obligated to do everything in our power to protect and promote children...
never ceases to keep kicking the LIBERALS around as if they created this situation
When you can't post without slamming 'THE LIBERAL LABEL' around like you've been justified with your ideology...beating your chest because 'YOU SAY SOOOO'...good grief
And where is all this proof? I have waiting since 1975.
but nation wide & then globally.
