Cleveland Public Schools Revising Sex Ed

[PerroLoco]

I would review the syllabus and only have my child attend certain classes. They would not be attending a class to teach them respect for anyone's sexual proclivities or habits. That should not be a specified aspect of leducation. Children should be taught to show respect to people as a general principle.

As usual America is backwards when it comes to sociology and morality. Instead of respecting children enough to slow down the culture, we are rushing them to catch them up to it.

At one time, it was great to be a child and it wasn't that long ago.

Perro Loco, Which portion of the syllabus are you refering to? I'm not sure if you are speaking about sexual orientation or general health awareness.

All, I think its a great idea. I agree that a lot of kids aren't getting anything at home, and its good that this will prevent them from slipping through the cracks. The info seems extremely age appropriate, so I say go for it. I voted for testimonials w.individuals living w/STDs or teenage pregnancy. The only reason I didn't include the item regarding pics of infected body parts, is that I don't want kids to think that a person can't be infected if they don't have visible signs.
