That program looks very good and while I'd want to monitor what my child is learning, it appears age appropriate.

Would you rather your child be HEARING about age-inappropriate things or DOING age-inappropriate things?

I agree. I think there should be an opt out option for parents, but I don't have a problem with it so far.

I think that the program is great. The system should give parents a "trial run" before they actually inplement it in the schools especially to younger children. I actually think that telling children about touching and so forth at a young age is a good thing!! Pedifiles are praying on children and I would rather my child be informed by the two most important entities in their life..i.e. Parent's and School.

It does say participation is voluntary, so it may be more of an opt in than opt out.

It sounds like a good program actually. I wouldn't want my kindergartener (if I had one) hearing about viruses and inappropriate touch every single day because they NEED to learn how to read and write, but it is a good thing that they need to learn early on. Maybe these kids will be more apt to yell, "NO," or not believe a molester who claims I'll hurt your family if you don't do this. Plus, they need to understand early about the AIDS virus so they won't be ignorant like many of us were in the '80s and '90s. Whether some of you will admit it or not, some of our kids will attend classes with HIV positive kids, and they need to know they can exist together.
Like PhrozenGod01 said, some parents don't teach their children anything at all. My mom didn't attempt to talk to me about sex until I was 12. I wasn't doing anything, but I already had ideas in my head thanks to my older friends. Kids need the facts, not what their friends heard.
Good start, Cleveland!

Whenever he does the "bad teens/I'm 12 and I want to have a baby right now," D West is a Black man (former military) who comes on the show and scares them straight by showing them the reality of being a teen mother or being a general bad azz. He also gives them a hug.
