NEW YORK — The United Nations is recommending that children as young as five receive mandatory sexual education that would teach even pre-kindergarteners about masturbation and topics like gender violence.
The U.N.'s Economic, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) released a 98-page report in June offering a universal lesson plan for kids ranging in age from 5-18, an "informed approach to effective sex, relationships" and HIV education that they say is essential for "all young people."
The U.N. insists the program is "age appropriate," but critics say it's exposing kids to sex far too early, and offers up abstract ideas — like "transphobia" — they might not even understand.
"At that age they should be learning about ... the proper name of certain parts of their bodies," said Michelle Turner, president of Citizens for a Responsible Curriculum, "certainly not about masturbation."
Turner was disturbed by UNESCO's plans to explain to children as young as nine about the safety of legal abortions, and to advocate and "promote the right to and access to safe abortion" for everyone over the age of 15.
"This is absurd," she told FOXNews.com.
Under the U.N.'s voluntary sex-ed regime, kids just 5-8 years old will be told that "touching and rubbing one's genitals is called masturbation" and that private parts "can feel pleasurable when touched by oneself."
By the time they're 9 years old, they'll learn about "positive and negative effects of 'aphrodisiacs," and wrestle with the ideas of "homophobia, transphobia and abuse of power."
At 12, they'll learn the "reasons for" abortions — but they'll already have known about their safety for three years. When they're 15, they'll be exposed to direct "advocacy to promote the right to and access to safe abortion."

From the paper itself:
These International Guidelines have been developed primarily to assist education, health and other relevant authorities in the development and implementation of school-based sexuality education programmes and materials. It does this primarily by recommending a set of age-specific standard learning objectives for sexuality education.
The review considered 87 studies from around the world; 29 studies were from developing countries, 47 from the United States and 11 from other developed countries.
In the larger context, the education sector has a critical role to play in preparing children and young people for their adult roles and responsibilities.
Young people want and need sexual and reproductive health information (Biddlecom, 2007). Some organizations now promote sexual and reproductive health education as a right and argue that this is supported by specific conventions (see Appendix II). For example, the Center for Reproductive Rights (2008) argues that international human rights standards, as articulated by UN governing bodies and other international organizations, require that governments guarantee the rights of young people to health, life, education and non-discrimination, by making comprehensive sexuality education that is scientifically accurate, objective and free from prejudice and discrimination available to them in primary and secondary schools.
Evidence suggests that many people, including education ministry staff, school principals and teachers, may not be convinced of the need to provide sexuality education, or else are reluctant to provide it because they lack the confidence and skills to do so. Teachers’ personal or professional values could also be in conflict with the issues they are being asked to address, or else there is no clear guidance about what to teach and how to teach it (see Table 1, which provides some typical examples of concerns that are expressed about introducing or promoting sexuality education).
Schools can become trusted community centres that provide necessary links to other resources, such as services for sexual and reproductive health [eg, abortion providers]
And the pedophiles at the UN want to be the ‘teachers’. Evil scum.
IIRC, This is a duplicate thread.
Did you do a search?
Certainly it’s a hideous worthy topic but we still need to try and follow the rules and limit unnecessary threads.
I’m pretty sure that kids can figure self-stimulation out for themselves... there is absolutely NO good argument why it should be taught in schools at all.
Or am I under the silly delusion that schools are SUPPOSED to teach things like Reading, Writing, Math & Logic?
Hasn’t the UN been active in the issue of human trafficing for the purpose of sexual slavery in places like Bosnia and Kosovo? I guess I should clarrify — active in assisting in teh enslavement of young women.
If kids cannot figure this out for themselves when the time comes, something is wrong.
As a father of 11 children, I can attest to the fact that none of them need to be taught to masturbate. We had to teach them NOT to do it!
Only perverts and pedophiles see a need for “teaching” a child to masturbate.
No less than Sigmund Freud taught that during the ages of 7-12 (called latency) children should not be exposed to sexuality. This is a period in which the child represses sexuality and concentrates on learning skills necessary to survival once they reach sexual maturity (genital stage). To saturate a child with sexual imagery at this time can cause confusion as well as fixations.
Oh wait, that’s what the US government and the UN wants since such young people will grow up to be less likely to want to settle down and raise children. Can’t have overpopulation you know. Ever wonder why homosexuality became the new civil right at the same time abortion was legalized in the USA? At the same time the population control hysteria was at its peak.
Mr. Silverback advocates shooting any government pervert who approaches his daughter with this curriculum in hand.
In all seriousness, the Second American Revolution/Civil War II may just begin when a home school mom shoots some social worker who stopped by to make sure she was teaching her kindergartener that masturbation is fun and anal sex is just how some people’s daddies get down.
WHAT??
So they can make it easier for them to rape children?
Get the UN the HELL out of my country.
Seeing as the UN is nothing but a bunch of jerk offs...it’s the only thing they’re good enough at to teach.
And Obama wants us to answer to this house of clowns?.....
If this doesn’t get America out of the U.N., nothing will! Thank you, Rockefellers!
UGH! I searched ‘UN masturbation’ (LOL) - came back with 0 results. That’s why I posted it b/c I was so surprised it wasn’t already out here. Maybe I needed to search U.N. with the periods?? Sorry
The sick, perverted, bast*rds. THIS is the “organization” that wants to run the world, with Obama as it’s president. He and his Muslim pals should be delighted that those little boys will be available to them.
You could FREEPMAIL the ADMIN MOD and ask them what they wish to do with the 2 threads.
Sometimes they just let it be.
At least they would register that you are probably learning your lesson on such things and feel good about that.
Might not be a biggy. Your choice.
Hey Quix -
Maybe you can help me. I’ve done title searches on masterbation, UN masterbation and U.N. masterbation and - even with my thread posted - am not getting either thread returned. Any thoughts?? I want to make sure I know how to search and don’t duplicate a thread in the future. Thx
That’s a puzzle to me.
I’m pinging the Admin Mod so they can help us both out.
Sorry I don’t know. Sounds like there may be a glitch somewhere.
