We have been discussing it. There is no reason except the threat is to women and thus women are being targeted.

All of that and your worried about shingles?

No. I want to teach the kids who have terrible parents (like mine were concerning sex education) to recieve sex education from a public source just like all other forms of education are available. When it comes to health issues I don't think religion gets a pass. Religious people cannot deny their child life-saving surgery because they belive prayer will do and cannot deny their children sex education because they have a crazy idea that fear prevents teen sex.

Yes, well I am talking about other areas of life. If one were to believe in a god but make decisions based on evidence first, I still call the thinking rational when it is rational.

I understand your point. I still think it is best left up to the parents to teach sex education beyond the biology of the whole thing. I would encourage if schools had free literature or educational sources to help parents that want to teach their children about prevention, condoms, abstinence etc.
Nope. Can the parents decide if they would like math to be taught to their child? Can a parent say, well my kid doesn't need algebra just teach her what she needs to know to push the burger picture and give change? The point is that children have a right to education, especially when it involves their health. |

I understand, but you are defining what a terrible parent is. Next, I will be a terrible parent for teaching my children about God.

Math, geography, history, art, english etc. have definable truths that can be taught objectively. When it comes to sexual activity there are no truths, only what people believe to be moral. This idea changes from person to person and who can say who is correct? |

Really? Statistics on the number of pregnancies where a condom was used is not a truth? Or how about what STDs there are and how they effect you? That's not a truth? Methods of practicing safe sex are not truths either?
These are. What I was getting at was how people view sexual activity. Is premaritial sex OK? Is more than one partner OK? Is it ok to have sex at 15, 16, 23? Is homosexuality OK? These are the kinds of things I do not want discussed in school. |

The decisions aren't based on judging "terrible parent", they're based on specific parent actions that endanger the child. You have twisted the meaning of the post you replied to. |

Whether anything is "OK" is also not the function of sex education. The objection made is that discussing these things is equivalent to condoning them and that is an unsupportable claim. If I educate kids about Hitler or murder, am I condoning those things?
If I teach the children about banking and financial markets is there an expectation much of what I teach is intended to be useful later in their lives? Why would I assume sex education means kids are going to all run out and try it that day?

If anyone discusses them in my kids' school, I'll be right there with you, Robb, objecting all the way.
However, if all they're teaching is that it's a fact that some people do have premarital sex, or that some people do have more than one partner, or that some people have sex at a young age, or that some people are homosexual, then the school isn't trying to teach values, but just facts that kids do want to know, and will learn (badly) from other kids, if not from you or the school. |

No it's not. I agree, to quote Mr Creosote.
"Fuck Off, I'm full."
Unfortunately, sending'em here is no guarantee that they won't DUI again. As there are more American's in the world than Australians, I vote that, purely for conservational reasons, you can keep them. |

It seems you want to teach what you think is right about sex education on other peoples children. I do not agree with this.
Your children is supposed to function in society. This demands that they are taught the rules of society, and information to help them interact with the rest of society without causing harm to others. Sex is part of interaction with other individuals and thus also with society, hence sex education is a public matter. You cannot guarantee that your children will be monogamous, nor that your childrens future partners will be. |

It almost sounds like you believe that sex education in school is to teach how to f**k in order to maximise pleasure, how to stimulate in order to get good lubrication, and to teach your children the most common variants of intercourse. That is simply ridiculous.
Just as ludicrous as the idea that giving a 10 or 12 year old girl the vaccine is a go-ahead to start screwing around.
However, girls need to be taught that they can/should say "no" if their boyfriend suggests something "weird" that they are uncomfortable with. Peer pressure can cause a lot of damage, and (I know examples from Sweden where lack of education resulted in the following: ) if girls don't know that anal sex can cause permanent damage to muscles controlling that particular part of anatomy, they are more likely to give in to it. Once the alarm was raised by a school nurse, the damage was already done to a number of girls.
Boys HAVE to be taught that no matter how horny they are, a "no" from a girl is a no, and forcing themselves on an unwilling person is totally out of the question.
The last sentence here is unfortunately a matter of morale, not sex education, something you expressed should be taught by their parents. I bet a hundred bucks that by the time a boy have forced himself on one of your daughters, you'd agree with me that teaching sex morale in school to make sure everybody got it, wasn't such a bad idea after all. |

Yes someone who intentionally endangers or refuses to educate their children is a terrible parent. And you would be a terrible parent if you taught your children that all other non-believers are infidels and can be killed and maybe even should be killed. Parents are not free to teach their children anything they want. Parents should not be able to teach racism, bigotry, or fail to teach important information to their children and not be labeled bad parents even terrible parents.

Yes there are. Pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases are real risks of sexual activity. There are ways to reduce these risks and all of those ways should be discussed not just one.

Homosexuality should be discussed just like racism. I don't think schools should talk about the other stuff and is not part of sex ed. |
