"“This is how you arm these little ones. They have to learn about their bodies. They have to learn about their spirits, that they can say no,” she said. “It’s a whole gamut of wellness that we need to teach these kids.”

We're talking about children's spiritual nature in a public school? Someone call the ACLU.

I don't find anything wrong with what this woman said.

I graduated high school back in 1970.

I graduated in '66. One pregnancy in the school the entire time I was in high school (senior year, 18 year old girl). And the father married her.

We’ve had many parents going to our school board meetings asking for help

I think I can identify the problem here.

[shhrubbery!]

New Mexico parents, don't stand for this! A non-abstinence program is bass-ackwards and stands logic and history on its head.

The history of sex education in the public schools is this simple: After contraception and "safe sex" began to be "taught," the rate of teen-agers who became pregnant out-of-wedlock, as well as the rate of STDs, skyrocketed.

Welcome to the sexual revolution. See what we have wrought. If they teach "If it feels good do it", "Make your own truth" and "Boy = Girls", they shouldn't be surprised at theses results. The sad thing is that they still don't get it. Teaching kindergardeners about sex will make it worse, not better.

They are trapped in the fallacy that human beings are inherently good instead of fallen. They think if they just explain it to the kids, the kids will understand and everything will be fine. How many times must that fail before they realize it isn't working?

The ultimate perversion is the crack about the abstinence message not working. When bad things happen, they will inevitably turn and blame traditional values all the while heaping more gas on the fire. These people indoctrinate kids in grade school with stuff like homosexuality is normal, abortion is just a lifestyle choice, God is a bad word, freedom is a life free of consequences and everyone defines their own truth based on what feels good. Then when these kids start showing up pregnant and full of STDs, they have the gaul to say the abstinence message is working? Please! That's not it at all! The fact is that all their other messages are working all too well.

In the 40s, we had one girl in sixth grade that was active. By 9th grade we had several backseat queens. Certainly the numbers have changed along with a younger age. Do as they might, schools will accomplish nothing.

Families are being destroyed thus there is no moral compass for far too many children.

[templar]

My wife and I have enrolled our 5-year-old daughter in private religious school.

A good choice. I made the same choice for my daughter. She's in 6th grade now, 11 years old. It's been expensive, and I don't have a lot of money, but I have absolutely no regrets.

More of this twisted logic.

[goodnesswins]

NAH...Separation of SEX (ed) and STATE!!! Sheesh....they'll just want to experiment more and more and more, the earlier you start 'em!

[goodnesswins]

EXACTLY the same in MY high school.....of over 600 graduates in 1969.....she got pregnant, left school, they married, and still are!

[thathamiltonwoman]

I graduated in '85 and we only had two known pregnancies in 4 years.

[longtermmemmory]

GLSEN would like to IMPOSE a solution...

[Brytani]

Perfect solution to under-age children having children. Make the under-age child's parents responsible for ALL welfare monies spent to raise their grand-children until the parent is 18 and responsible.

See how quick children's stop having sex so early.

[radiohead]

but to invade childhood yet further and teach sex ed to five-year-olds. Sickening.

I agree. These aren't middle schoolers, where one might reasonably debate whether they're ready for sex ed, these are kids. Babies.

Thank goodness my son is grown. No way could I put up with this crap.

[pray4liberty]

Two words.
(1) Yiikes.
(2) Homeschool.

Once upon a time, esteemed social educational engineers suddenly saw a sex problem where there wasn't any so high school-aged kids got sex education.

Lo and behold, teen pregnancy and promiscuous sex began to increase in that age group so the esteemed social educational engineers announced that sex education should begin in junior high school.

Then - OH NO! - it was discovered that junior high school aged children were having sex, getting pregnant and contracting STD's.

To combat this growing problem, the esteemed social educational engineers knew that the solution should be that sex education be available for children before they EVEN reach puberty. Fifth grade.

These ignoramuses deny, deny, deny that their clinical approach to the subject never, ever, ever titillates their young pupils and contributes to the problem.

I grew up in the 50's and learned about sex from my parents and my giggling girlfriends at whispered slumber parties. I also learned that for my own good, physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually I WAIT TILL I AM MARRIED BEFORE HAVING SEX. Case closed. Nothing further need be said.

Back in the 50's the teen pregnancy rate was a fraction of what it is now, STD's were mostly limited to the guys who picked up hookers, and children were born to and raised by their biological parents - not one parent and serial boyfriends, stepdads, stepmothers.

But that must have been an odd twist of nature because the esteemed social educational engineers saw something that worked and decided it needed to be fixed. What a legacy and massive social problem they have left our country's children.

If I was a parent in that school district, you can bet I'd be raising Cain at the school board meetings and PTA every chance I could.

>>>Are they putting estrogen into the chocolate milk?!

No; they're putting whore-moans in the beef.

Separation of school and State BUMP!
