Sex Education for Kindergartners?
UPDATE: ARE YOU A RESIDENT OF HELENA OR HAVE A CHILD IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM? IF SO, SEND TODD AN EMAIL: todd.starnes@foxnews.com.
A proposed plan to teach kindergartners sex education has come under fire in Helena, Montana.
The Helena Public School system is considering a comprehensive plan for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. It includes teaching first graders that people can be attracted to the same gender. In second grade students are instructed to avoid gay slurs and by the time students turn 10 years old they are taught about various types of intercourse.
READ WHAT MIKE HUCKABEE SAID ABOUT TODD’S NEW BOOK
According to the draft proposal obtained by FOX News Radio, fifth graders should “understand that sexual intercourse includes but is not limited to vaginal, oral, or anal penetration.”
Jeff Laszloffy, of the Montana Family Foundation, is among those outraged that educators want to teach sex education to kindergarteners.
“It’s absolutely insane,” Laszloffy told FOX News Radio. “This is not education. This has crossed the line and has gone from education to indoctrination and that’s the problem parents have.”
“This is not the reason we send our kids to school – to be indoctrinated on different sex positions,” he said. “These types of conservations should be had between parents and their children at the appropriate time and we don’t think it’s the state’s job to determine when that time is.”
School superintendent Bruce Messinger told FOX News Radio that parents have fair questions about the content of the plan.
“This is by design a formative process,” he said, noting that the section about human sexuality has drawn the most attention.
He said educators are looking at the age-appropriateness of the material and said final decisions won’t be made until August.
“There will be plenty of time for public comment,” he said. Messinger said they are working through how the content would be taught and how the curriculum would be presented to students.
He said the school system stresses parental involvement and said that anyone with objections to classroom material has the option of pulling their child out of the class.
“We honor that,” he said.
Messinger defended teaching sex education in grade school based on national data that he said indicates a growing number of 10, 11, and 12-year-olds becoming sexually active.
Have an opt-out program. Sometimes we create alternative activities for the students.
“It’s an unfortunate occurrence,” he said.
Laszloffy said the bottom line is that the program puts government between parents and their children.
“It tramples parental rights and we think those rights need to be upheld,” he said.
A final vote on the proposal is expected in August.

They say that there are growing numbers of 10,11,and 12 yr olds becoming sexually active. Could that be because we are exposing them to it earlier and earlier in the public school systems? This is definatly NOT the way to keep the numbers down.

You introduce me to a 10,11,12 yr old who says he/she is having sex, and I'll introduce you to a LIAR!!! National data is all compiled from kids surveys—–what kid is gonna say something his friends aren't saying? As if we can believe kids on this! Bottom line, the gov't better back off this sort of crap or they'll get all us right winged gun-totin', bible lovin' rednecks fired up!!!! Don't wake the sleeping GIANT!

There are kids that age having sex man…it's the truth but it's because it's being taught at younger and younger ages. My kids will never step foot in a public school for this very reason. Homeschool your kids everyone! YOU control what they learn not the government! BTW I am a Christian and love the Lord and DO NOT agree with this whatsoever.

The whole problem here is that we have abdicated parental responsibilities to ‘big brother’ government. We have given over our rights and responsibilities to raise our kids according to our own beliefs. We now let the government tell us what to feed our kids (no sugar or salt, please), how to dress our kids (put on that school uniform, little Johnny), and what to teach our kids about morality and religion (sex education in Kindergarten??) NOTE TO THE GOVERNMENT, THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, AND THE COURT SYSTEM: I am the Mommy, you are not.

When I was in third grade, my public school proposed doing this same type of curriculum beginning in kindergarten where boys and girls go into each others' restrooms to learn what is done there and the particular body parts. My parents pulled me out and put me in private school. Not 2 years later, the lead administrator of this program was busted for child molestation of a couple of 9 year olds in his neighborhood. Let kids be kids for goodness sake. There is plenty of time to learn about the birds and the bees as they near puberty. And frankly, the school's role should be confined to reproductive discussion, not sexual positions.

I live in MT, and am glad my taxes are supporting age appropriate sex ed. If comprehensive sex ed was taught in more schools, there would be less instances of STD's as well as teen mom's.

Sex education should be taught in a health and sciences format and should be age apropriate. Small children should be taught that certain parts of their bodies are private and not to be seen or touched by anyone including their parents. That's all they need to know until they are about 10 or 12. They are still children at that age and should be treated as such. In a science or health class they can then start learning the proper names for various parts of the body. The genitals is a specific enough term for that age. At 13 or 14 you need to get more specific with the names of body parts and what they are for, reproduction . At all times during this learning process rule #1 must be reinforced, nobody touches and nobody looks and their private places. As 9th graders they need to know all about the veneral diseases and that your can get them many ways. As far as how you have sex, which orfice, that should never be discussed nor should liking the same sex be discussed. This type of discussion leads to "let's try that" in young children. Our bodies were not given to us as toys to play with or be played with, they were designed for reproduction and it should be taught in that way only.

"Small children should be taught that certain parts of their bodies are private and not to be seen or touched by anyone including their parents."
That is one of the DUMBEST things you can tell a small child! What he/she has an accident? This will just lead to children not trusting their parents and more fuel to the bogus "pedophiles are everywhere" madness that has taken over this country.

Molly

Will, please be a little nicer; if you want to insult her, don't outright call her dumb, use logic. Anyways, she wanted to teach the young children because they can be coerced into letting people touch them; she should have said "Don't let your parents touch you inappropriately unless you are bathing or are injured there (or something like that) and need help". She didn't remember to put exceptions, and that is why you think her comment was "dumb". Yes, many people are a bit paranoid about pedophiles, but they only fear for their children, which is understandable; ignorance isn't always bliss.
Will
July 10, 2010 at 3:42 am
Oh, Mary, I forgot to add that the rest of your advice is also painfully obtuse. first of all, nearly every young child goes through a "let's try that" phase, it's normal. What do you think they're doing when they're playing "doctor" or "house"?
Secondly, what goes into which orifice IS HAVING SEX. If you too much of prude to explain this to ninth graders, you shouldn't be teaching sex ed!!
Finally, our bodies WERE not only given to us as toys, but also as machines of labor and canvases. The human body is a beautiful machine capable of many wondrous things, including terrible pain and great pleasure. You should learn more about the latter.

Why can't high schoolers be taught about other sexual oritentations? You do know that telling someone "some boys like other boys" won't make them attracted to them, right? However, I thought your comment was very appropriate and well thought out. The school could learn a thing or two from you. Also, in regards to using the body as "toys" are you referring to masturbation? Becuase it's actually very healthy; if it were to be mentioned in class, though, the best response would be to tell them only do it in private, because telling them not to do it at all won't change a thing.

I'm so angry and upset after reading this article I can hardly even write. I have 3 daughters and now 9 Grandchildren and can't even imagine telling them about the different kinds of sex at Kindergarten age or even Elementary age. For goodness sakes, let them be kids. Some have barely been potty trained by Kindergarten age. This liberal, perverted bunch of people these days have gone insane. God help us!

July 10, 2010 at 2:27 pm
The majority of us in MT that are urging the school board to not pass this curriculum do believe that sex education should be taught in the school. We believe that medically correct terms should be taught and the biology of reproduction is important. We are most concerned with the explicit nature of the terms used at the very young ages proposed and have not seen any research that supports that this is "age appropriate." The other concern in the curriculum is in regards to the values that are undermined in the home when homosexual sexyuality is taught. We know that the goal is to make children more aware and to reduce name calling and bullying, but these are simply issues of basic human respect. It is that value alone that can be taught and upheld without getting into specifics as there are children with different colored skin, those who have trouble speaking, those who are overweight and they should not be taunted either. The issue is basic human respect for all individuals.

I am a MARRIED mother of 2 in Mt. I am only 19 and unfortunatly I am a teen mom. I am not ashamed of the fact, but proud. I dont understand why the schools are trying to teach sex ed younger and younger. I do not agree with this idea/decision at all. Yes all children need to know about their body. ASK THE DOCTOR with the parent present. Or just tell your kids yourselves. I am definatley not going to put my kids through public or private schools. They may miss out on social interaction with everyday schools but they will learn what I feel is necessary when they are ready for it. I know I am going to get responds to this but I am a mother and I do have young children. My oldest will start head start this fall and HECK no I do not want her learning about her "private parts" from someone other than her parents!

I personally think it's the parent's job to teach their kid's about the birds & the bee's. Not the school's……..so many kid's are learning enough about sex through the media. Why introduce it into the school's more then it already has? We wonder why kid's are having sex earlier & teen pregnancy is on the rise. Parent's need to stand up, for their belifes & not let our kid's suffer & fall through the crack's. Kid's are learning stuff they shouldnt be learning at such a young age, they aint allowd to be kid's anymore. It's bad enough cartoon's, song's & comercial's are supporting sexuality, & practices for our kids. Is there any place they can be safe from the perversion? It's bad enough little girl's have a hard time finding appropriate clothes for their age, that's not see through or short. We are tired of pedifile's & finding them disgusting & yet people make it worse by doing thing's & allowing thing's like this. It's the school's job to teach school, not sex.

One thing missing from this problem is that people who support this issue seem to believe that information will "fix" the problem. They don't understand… it is not a problem with what and how much information they have and at what age they receive it. It is a simple sin problem, which is the parents responsibility to resolve!
Take under age drinking, drug abuse and driving as a few examples. There is not a 16-18 year old high school child who, if quizzed, knows what the consequences are of using drugs, drinking or reckless driving. These same kids are drinking, doing drugs driving recklessly and being killed for there choices right here in Helena.

How about we make this country a christian nation again like it once was. The people and their "requirements" for the upcoming generation is a joke. I think we SHOULD keep Bibles in the schools, I think we SHOULD keep prayer, public or not, in the schools, and most importantly, that we put God back in the schools. And this whole subject about teaching kindergarteners about sexual intercourse, IS OUTRAGEOUS. How about the perverted nasty freaks we call professors shut their mouths and turn themselves in for attempting to slip in something that should not even be thought about for teaching the children. Get real.

If the average citizen discussed oral, vaginal, and anal sex with a 10 year old, he'd be in jail. If that person is a teacher, he or she is hailed as a hero. Is it any wonder we hear more and more sexual abuse cases between teachers and students? Are our schools the new place the perv's are hanging out to pick up dates?

The little secret here is that they are trying to get stimulus monies from president Obama. I live in Helena and my church has been on the front line fighting this trash they are trying to pass as education. They say the program is abstinence based yet in reading the draft I see abstinence mentioned 3 times and that is it. Yet they teach intercourse ways including use of objects starting in the 6 grade. They are trading the innocence of our kids for a few dollars, not to mention the overtly pro homosexual agenda throughout the draft. Also starting in high school they are going to use erotic art including pornography as an education tool. All for a few dollars. Pathetic small insignificant people.

Has America lost all its morals and common sense??? If this non-sense passes i will have lost all respect and faith i have placed in the officials to make these decisions.

"What is racism?
Racism is racial prejudice that has been incorporated into the activities and procedures of major institutions, corporations, social systems (such as those related t housing, education, and health), and other arenas of major social activity (such as politics, the media, finance, and banking). Racism serves both to discriminate against ethnic minorities and to maintain advantages and benefits for White Americans."

I live in Helena and am disgusted with the agenda that is being forced upon our children. Let children be children for just a little while please. I am not against informing children, just wait until they are of the appropriate age and tell them the facts as becomes necessary. And I said the facts, not some liberal agenda based on moral relativism. There is such a thing as Natural Law and some things are not meant to be done, whether someone wants to or not. I know many people who are planning to pull their children out of the public schools if this goes through.. Fortunately, my family is able to send our kids to a private school, but as a society we need to look out for all children. Certainly our morally bankrupt government and public school system is not!!!

Sometimes people just need to stop and think about wheat they are doing to their children and everyone elses children with this vile and discusting crud! I just want my kids to be as simple minded about sex as the women that are in their 60's today! This is something we all need to take into consideration, quit letting 12 yr old girls wear skimpy clothes, it would make them feel better and everyone else in the world feel better. When I drive around my town in MT I see girls HALF my age wearing bikinis and NOTHING to cover them! It is a horrid sight! I think girls and boys in general need to learn self preservation and self respect! I had to the hard way. It is not fun to get groped by some old creepy pedophile in the local grocery store at 14 yrs old! It was wrong and I dealt with it with the owner of the store! So girls and boys need to quit trying to GROW UP and just be kids! No children have a childhood anymore…. so disappointing. Please don't let this bill pass! FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDRENS' INNOCENCE!

Dear Anonymous Christian-Please read your Bible. Parents have a God-ordered mandate to raise children in the fear and admonition of the Lord and that includes explaining to them, at the right age, about their bodies and to respect them and what sex is, and it is sacred and only for marriage, and that sexual sin is a sin against one's own body. If you think God is not in control over all the universe, just wait and see how He deals with those nations that turn away from Him and His Word as their Sovereign Authority. Better yet, the Bible is full of examples of just that. I am a Christian too, but more important I am a follower of Jesus Christ and I love my Heavenly Father and I pray you grasp that God is not amused by these insanely evil notions of schools indoctrinating children into the world of pansexuality. We must raise them to be in the world, but not OF the world and yes it can and is being done. Children want and need boundaries and parental instruction, and parents need to be parents the way God intended.

First of all, I agree with you. That is what the Bible says; you do know the Bible well. I have read this Bible before as well. However, you need to read our country's documents and realize this nation was founded of freedom of religion, and that we are not governed by God (though as Christians that it the belief, but, officially – as in officially written and acknowledged – we are not), because we aren't governed by any deity. Also, you cannot convert people into pansexuality; it is a sexual orientation, so pansexuals didn't become who they are, they just are who they are. Also, knowledge is power, and teaching these children will only help them, not harm them. By the way, do you know what else the Bible says? Things like stoning people to death and slavery are A-OK with God. Does that mean that's what we should do? NO.

Children today have so much stress on them. This is another stress factor they shouldn't have a clue about. Why are so many children on stress meds.??? Because they are being taught about things their body and mind are not ready for. Each child is different, each child has his or her own timing to receive this information. Schools took away most of recess time, now lets teach them sex ???? ABSOLUTLY NOT !!!!

Some children need to take stress medication for a variety of reasons, not just one. By the way, the school isn't telling them everything all at once, they are stretching it out from K-12; they aren't teaching everything in kindergarten. Maybe you should actually read the cirriculum, take a deep breath, and maybe take a nap if you're still too upset.

Hey FOX News, are you going to delete my comment if I ask Good Golly Miss Molly here what her thoughts on anal penetration are as it's mentioned in the article?

Who are you to determine who raises their kids properly?? Are you in everyone's home? Spoken like a true socialist. You'll just presume that MILLIONS of parents aren't doing their job therefore the government, top of the moral ladder needs to intervene huh? You probably gave no thought of the scope of what you said just typed at blazing 50 WPM speed the filth at the front of your mind.

Agreed. However, that doesn't mean the school can do whatever they want; there needs to be standards. DeeAnn, you do raise a good point in that the government can't do EVERYTHING, but Jon, you also raise an even BETTER point in that parents need to do their jobs or the government will.

Oh my gosh, my teacher used to call me Good Golly Miss Molly! Actually, that made me smile. Ah, memories…
Anyways, my school didn't have sex ed, so I just looked it up in the dictionary, and eventually just went online and looked up sex ed sites; they were helpful. By the way, I mentioned that I thought kindergarten was a bit early, but I said the school's intentions weren't to be perverted; they were to educate. Again, though, I think kindergarten is too early for such extensive teachings. I also told the commenter how terrible it was to say the school molests children; there are children out there who were REALLY molested and have to live with that painful memory the rest of their life. It reminded me of when people go around saying "rape" all the time. The comment wasn't at all mindful of the feelings of others, so I told them not to say the school molests children.

Yes; some logic put into this conversation! People in this topic commenting are just scared for their children; I feel bad for them. I honestly can understand that when a parent feels their child is at risk, they will be paranoid. However, if giving your kids fruit instead of Big Macs was good for them and you didn't agree, of course you wouldn't give your kids apples and instead take them to McDonald's. Does that means McDonald's is healthier? No. So, it the "sex ed" evil and scary? No.

EXACTLY!
