Is sexual behavior something that should be taught in public school?
ByI just read another article about homosexuality being taught in the public school system – in kindergarten! I keep hearing of more and more cases where parents are fighting this in states all across the country – and it seems like homosexuality keeps winning. It just amazes me that these people think 5 and 6 year old children need to be taught about homosexuality! Kids that age shouldn’t even know what sex is much less deviant sexual behavior!! The Bible teaches very clearly on sexual immorality in Leviticus 18 and verse 22 specifically addresses homosexuality. I am thankful every day that our family has chosen to homeschool and my kids aren’t subjected to this kind of “education.”
I homeschool my son, sophomore in high school. We talk about sex, drugs, alcohol, homosexuality and of course lots about the Bible. These things should be learned at home from parents.
When I was a kid, I didn’t learn about those topics in school from the teachers but from my peer group. This wasn’t good either.
You are so right, cumby. My husband and I have taught our kids about all of these things as well. I know some parents who won’t talk to their kids about these things because they are sinful things and they don’t want them to know about them. In my opinion, that’s dangerous because all that’s going to do is put them at risk from learing about it from others – like you said, they will learn it from the peer group. I want my kids to know about things that are out there and to teach them that it’s wrong. I want them to be educated so that they can defend why it’s wrong if the topic comes up in a coversation for them. What I don’t want is for someone else to be teaching my children about these things and telling them it’s okay – to be tolerant. It just amazes me that parents continue to allow this to happen to their children!
Anyway, thanks again for your comment.
No. And no. This is an example of the government overstepping its role in the lives of children, and a real shift in the purpose and philosophy of education. When did school become more about socialisation and less about the acquisition of knowledge? I am actually a Christian man who is also gay but am anti-gay marriage and am utterly appalled at how activists are attempting to indoctrinate children through the schools and thereby future society. It illustrates how many parents have abdicated responsibility of their childrens’ moral and intellectual education to the State.

i believe it has to be taught in schools too. in this case, the youngsters dont have to experiment this thing with themselves. at least it has come out to the open. they will now be taught the pros and cons of this.
Seriously, Suzanne?? You think KINDERGARTNERS need to be taught about sexuality?? They don’t even know what that IS at that age!!
