Children aged 5-8 have little business being introduced to this information by the school system or anybody other than a parent. It's not so much a matter of the information being accurate, it's that it isn't appropriate.
I'm not exactly thrilled about this, but it's also far from anything I feel is wholly out line. If it's an education model that works elsewhere and has positive outcomes, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't adopt it, like the Dutch model for instance. And let's be sure to point out that there is a whole section on abstinence which has the subcontept of "Abstinence from sexual intercourse is the most effective method of preventing pregnancies
and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV." And let's also realize that some of this earlier education may help prevent children from being taken advantage of or feeling more comfortable about speaking out concerning sexual abuse they are victims of. It's a tight line to walk, sure, but not every child is in a healthy situation and sometimes that needs to be taken into account.
In reality we as a nation do need to get over this whole societal issue we have with sexual issues altogether and start treating them like any other medical issue. As a complete non-sequitur but a point I find somewhat poignant concerning that issue, The Diary of Anne Frank has been banned or removed from school reading lists in the past, not because of the adult tones in the reality of a family hiding from very real danger during a horrific portion of human history, but because she writes about her maturing anatomy.
200, once again this year as I have for every year of my child's school life, I had to sign an opt-out form for her not to receive sexual education in school. She's in 10th grade this year. It's always been my choice to teach her at home if I choose.

That's great that you make that choice. I know I will be making the same choice for my kids.

I hope so. I really do.
Please inform us of your definition of "legitimate plan" so we can all take notes and raise our children accordingly.
No, you're getting a question from an interested party in how those who plan to educate their children about sex plan on doing so. It's right there in my question, the entirety of the post you're quoting sums it up precisely so I'm not sure where the confusion is coming from.
Notice the leftists ignored the video? I'm not surprised, their hypocrisy knows no bounds.
It's a 26 minute long video, I doubt you even watched it.
Oh I have.
Have you?
1. I doubt that.
2. Of course not, it's a 26 minute long video without any context or information given to make me interested in watching it. Was it required for all children of the school? Was it an event that took place during school time or for parents who chose? Just posting a 26 minute long video isn't really going to get anyone to watch.
We covered this video before. I've watched it. It's harmless. They tell kids to be accepting of those different than them and then a group of gay people sing a couple songs.

Are you calling me a liar? Do you have any proof to back up that claim or is this just another of your many personal attacks?

Ah so you need your information in small clips or else it doesn't interest you.
Everything I have read online about this video since it became public in 2014 says it was a mandatory school time assembly and parents were not notified. The video was available on the school website until it became a national issue then it was quickly taken down. In a little over a year since the video came out there has been no denial of any of the claims by the school or speaker. Draw your own conclusions.
Little school kids used to get under their desks during nuclear bomb drills. So now it is a face palm to even ask them what a nuclear bomb is? That is just silly.

Be specific please. Thanks.
Someone other than a parent introducing any kind of sexual behavior to elementary aged children is egregious enough in my book.
Teaching children that homosexuality is OK and should be celebrated. It's not OK, it is a sin against God.
Those kids are way too young to have elementary teachers throw anything at them
related to Gay, Heterosexual, Homosexual, bi, trans, etc. At the 16 and change mark a
girl introduces her 2 "gay" dads. Not appropriate, same for gay mens choir.

Do you have any scientific evidence to support this, or is this just your opinion?
