Thank you for the eye opening account, and welcome to FR. Good luck with starting your conservative club.
By the way, have you discussed what was taught in class with your parents? Perhaps they could complain and get this person from PP out of your school.
Just out of curiousity, how old do you think the gal was that was telling you these things? (I'm betting she is unmarried and under 25)
But in the Clinton White House he was pre-empted by a speech telling the newbies that if they do drugs or they're fooling around to be sure and not let anyone find out. Be discreet.
If I were you I would demand to be excused from that class and fill the hour with study hall. Your parents can do that, and other kids' parents as well.
Sure would be a slap in the face to that PP broad if half the class "opted out."
I am so sorry to hear you had to go through this. Stay strong. You will be richly rewarded in marriage. I am so thankful that my husband and I have no memories to cloud our love for each other.
Great job!
I'm speechless....especially since my son is starting 8th grade next month. Fortunately, since learning of some of the things that are taught (and not taught) at school, we've had several discussions on this subject.
It is a troll of s different variety.
IMO, not welcome here,
Talk among yourselves
Thank goodness my kids are all grown!!!! They asked me about sex, I told them the truth, how ever much information was appropriate for their age level. My daughter started asking questions at age 5, and I just told her the truth. We don't NEED Planned parenthood.
Excellent book. I highly recommend it for any young person- even those who like school. It's food for thought, if nothing else.
Welcome to the world of government-controlled institutions. Lucky for you, God put something inside you to help you fight it, something that will stick with you throughout your whole life... a soul.
It's just another one of those topsy-turvy things when the student is more mature than the teacher. I see that stuff happening more and more often these days.
A pity you can't tape this class and get it to a media outlet. Can you slip a tapeplayer in a purse or back pack? This would simply be dynomite.
we had a smiliar deal in St.Paul schools a few years back.
A guy running for school board actually was employed by the
"clinic" that was allowed to dispense BC . Furthermore, they
want to give it without parental consent to minors. Keep in mind you can't even get a school nurse to give a kid a friggin' asprin.
good luck to you.run for school board when you graduate.
you'd be the most in touch with reality of go'mint edumacation.
His Mom and I feel he has a VERY solid conservative and religious base and will do very well.
Welcome to FreeRepublic! My congratulations and best wishes in your upcoming years of education and conservatism.

Thanks for the report. I'm curious to know (if you don't mind discussing it), how much did this "instructor" instruct on homosexuals and homosexual sex?
Btw, these classes are starting at an earlier grade than eighth. A friend of mine has a 10 year old daughter in the public schools who has already been subjected to a sex education class. Only they called it "life skills" to hide it from the parents.
And when you get older, it will be the ONLY priority.
Sounds alot like the schoolboard near me that got slammed for wanting to implement a curriculum that would've taught sex-ed to 3rd & 4th graders.
To the point that they were teaching them some rather 'out of the norm' things.
5th graders here are taught the mechanics and such of it already.
Er, might wanna edit that line.
thanks for posting this thread.
good job.
