New York City school children as young as 11-years-old could soon be learning sex education from workbooks that include instruction on “mutual masturbation, French kissing, oral and anal sex, and “intercourse using a condom and an oil-based lubicrant.”

The revelations were uncovered in “recommended” workbooks reviewed exclusively by The New York Post.
Sex education will become mandatory in New York City middle and high schools next year. Students will be required to take one semester of sex education in sixth or seventh grades and one in ninth or tenth grades.
Among the findings from the Post:
- High school students would go to stores to price-check condoms.
- Teenagers would research routes to clinics that provide birth control and STD tests.
- Middle school students would sort “risk cards” to rate the safety of various activites including instruction on “mutual masturbation, French kissing, oral and anal sex, and “intercourse using a condom and an oil-based lubricant.”
A spokesperson for the New York Dept. of Education provided a written statement refusing to either confirm or deny that the workbooks are part of the sex education curriculum.
“Abstinence is a very important part of the curriculum, but we also have a responsibility to ensure that teenagers who are choosing to have sex understand the potential consequences of their actions and know how to keep themselves safe,’ the statement read. “So we need a comprehensive curriculum. Abstinence is the only way to be 100 percent safe –but one-third of the new cases of Chlamydia in NYC are in teenagers and a significant percentage of our teenagers have had multiple sexual partners, so we can’t stick our heads in the sand about this.”
One of the preferred resources for students is Columbia University’s website, “Go Ask Alice,” the Post reported. That site includes discussions on topics ranging from “doggie-style,” oral sex with braces, fetishes, and “sadomasochistic sex play.”
The Board of Education said that “none of the books we buy for the sex ed curriculum directs readers to the Go Ask Alice website.”
They also stressed that there is an opt-out for classes on prevention. And while school officials said they do not mandate curriculum, there is no indication such materials would be banned.
Bryan Fischer, with the conservative American Family Association, accused school officials of being “criminally irresponsible.”
“The curriculum includes lessons on how to use a condom,” Fischer told Fox News. “That’s playing Russian Roulette with the sexual health of these students.
Fischer said sex education is a topic better left to parents.
“The values that they are teaching in these classes are fundamentally contrary to the values that these students are being taught at home and what public schools ought to be about are reinforcing the values that students are being taught at home – not undercutting them,” he said.

If I found out my kids were being shown or taught any of that, I'd walk into that class room and rip that teacher's face off then stomp their skull in. How much more of this garbage is going to be in our schools before more parents start getting active in the school system…..I feel sorry for kids in our schools these days.
wll either way I don't see it making much a difference. The europeans already do this. It does keep the std rates there lower a little bit. Thing is yeah maybe the topics are a bit too edgy though I'm sure they are only covering them for older teens in 10th grade. Remember the age range your dealing with. I'm sure they are not getting into that with 11 year olds. Sheesh people read things more carefully. I know some things seem vague but yeah if you don't want schools teaching kids talk to them and give them the facts. Not biased either. I knew more teens from christian homes get knocked up than others. I even had a neighbor friend who's parents taught sunday school at a Baptist church didn't seem to stop their daughter from getting pregnant in high school. Also making comments on kids or teens who one lady calls little hoochies and ho bags isn't very nice. Think about their unfortubate upbringing. They need people to help them not treat them like trash. That only makes them feel even worse and have such low self esteem they will continue seeking negative ways to get any type of attention or feel needed. Really parents need to teach theirs kids and also watch what they watch on tv and the internet. I had a 14 who lied about his age trying to solicit me for a sexual relationship. I was like kid your parents need to help you because what your doing is illegal mainly for me since I'm the adult and its dangerous. he kept trying to convine me his parents allowed it and I was like well your parents need to talk to me so I can tell them how irresponsible they are allowing a 14 year old sign up to dating sites and talk to people nearly old enough or old enough to be his parents. I have to say my sex education helped more than my own parents. I'm 27 no kids no diseases and I had a 5 year marriage but my husband was a cheating loser so yeah don't judge me. My point is if you don't want uncle sam teaching them or the media such as tv music and film then turn off jersey shore, and teach them. But don't prevent the kids without the proper resources the information they need to make healthy decisions. Cause think about it teens with the wrong info will do oral or anal to prevent pregnancy but do they know the consequences? Stds can still be spread by just about any interaction. You don't even need to have sex to catch herpes. If abything my friends mom talked to us girls one time about it. I'm glad she did cause my parents didn't know how really. You as parents have the choice teach them or let someone else.
The homosexuals must being doing cart wheels! Teaching anal sex to small boys.
One more reason to end the dept of education.
Just the facts, Ma'am… From the article: "The revelations were uncovered in 'recommended' workbooks reviewed exclusively by The New York Post." The above story ran in the New York Post, which – and correct me if I am wrong – is an estranged cousin to the National Enquirer. Please, for you, for me, and for us, read the story again. Does this story read as being remotely feasible? Maybe a little too far fetched? Does it just make your blood boil? Are you angry after reading it? Does it make you hate NYC a little more? There is a reason for everything. Even in literature and journalism nowadays. Inciting rage and fear is a rather easy tool to rally the "troops" to do the dirty work. Divide us. Let me reassure you, no one will be teaching anal sex to your children. That is absurd. If it sounds or reads unbelievable, then it probably is. Some sound advice my father left me: "Son, believe nothing you hear – read, in this case – and half you see." And, "always, consider the source." Think for yourself, not in a group, not just what is popular at the moment and occupy your mind… Pax Americana for her people? Soon, if we ride the storm as one… Thank you and I love you, all. Really, I do. Don't forget that.
What's next? Lesson's on what a donkey punch is?
lmao! Okay seriously they are teaching kids to use oil based lubricants with condoms? wow, that is just awesome…good job!
oil based lubricants break down latex condoms …j ackasses
Bloomberg will hire some idiot to go out to NYC schools and hand out free condoms to sixth graders on a silver platter during lunchtime fir $88,000 a year on taxpayer's expense without their permission and get away with it. This is a very sick joke and The Mayor should be impeached!
Why don't they start teaching kids about the corrupt government officials and employees. We need to start teaching them young so they can recognize charlatans when they see them.
Never though that sex was a problem in New york or for that matter now a days anywhere, since it seems so rampant what I though was a problem was restrain or abstinence, isn't enough with playboy, hustler, sextexting, different pornographic franchises in the city all of them cater to the sale of sex Tv, advertisement and the rest of lures facing this society now a days into sex, but what the school is proposing is to teach them to do it right, we are going to have the stupidest of children they won't have any idea of how much is 1+1 is, but according to the city of New york they'll know how to F uck properly;Another way we can tell the education in our schools have been heading down the drain, this teachers have way to much time on their hands the whole system needs to be revamped.
When did we give the government the authority to mold the social mores of our children?
7. "But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."
You gotta love how the spokesperson for the NYDE states that "we( the NYDE) also have a responsibility to ensure that teenagers who are choosing to have sex understand the potential consequences of their actions and know how to keep themselves safe,’". Since when has this "responsibility" become that of the Dept. of Education? How have we allowed the Government run monopoly of public schools the power to ram this kind of garbage down our children's throats! I guarantee, if I was to show the child of some school teacher, or a teachers Union member, pornographic material they would toss me in jail.
America better wake up, and wake up FAST. This great country is systematically being reshaped and destroyed – piece by piece – from within. It has been going on for decades now. The proof is irrefutable, however not enough of us are paying attention. The mere fact that NYC schools are emboldened enough to even push these so-called "sex ed classes" to that point within the curriculum is just another example of how far we have digressed.
This kind of stuff is not just happening in big liberal cities like New York. Scenarios like this are playing out all across blue and red states alike.
Again, many more of us must not only pay attention, but also speak out! If we fail to do so, soon our children and grandchildren will be waking up in a very different kind of country.
It's already well under way.

My oldest daughter spent about two weeks in the government school system in Virginia. That was untill she brought home information on the "family life curriculum". When they introduced this into the school system we were told that our children could "opt out". In reality, opting out meant being sinlged out and sent to the library as if they were being punished while the rest of the second graders were taught "sex education". Then were told by the teacher that the concepts were integrated into several subjects and our daughter would have to leave in the middle of classes and it would not really be feasible to do. This curriculum was like a sunday school lesson compared to what the perverts in NYC are trying to indocrinate these children in. That was the first and last experience that I had with the government run indocrination sysytem that is designed to promote the religion of humanism where the human mind and imagination is the final authority and center of the universe. My four children have been homeschooled and taught in Christian schools where the Bible is the basis for thought and reason. All you perverts can mock me all you want but my children are doing well and although we had to make a lot of sacrifices along the way I'm glad I didn't choose the path of the God hating liberals.
It make you believe our educational system has a bunch of sex perverts and nymphomaniacs. Why isn't the educational system smart enough to know that sex has always work out fine before there was an education system? Nature gives you all the instructions you need. This is, of course, should thake place after you get married.
The first covenant was a marriage covenant sealed in blood. The Creator said 'Thou shall not fornicate.' The allowable divorce was for 'fornication.' God divorced Israel for spiritual fornication. Freedom is for a moral and good people. Tyranny is for a nation that has forgotten God.
"…without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."
Romans 1:32, 33
and they wonder why the hardworking, the family centered, the dependable, the governable are leaving their state behind, while the lazy, the weak willed, the entitled, and the ungovernable are flocking to their state. ie they wonder why their state is going to hell in a hand basket…
if the sky high taxes were not enough to drive you out of their absurd state, then this would be. And what is left after all the sensible leave?
A state full of dependent pervs, who demand their entitlements… a state with no hardworking class to force into paying for those entitlements.
So go right ahead. Drive families out of your state. Its okay. We will all move to the red states, and you lefties can flush the coasts right down the drain, as you seem insistent on doing.
And I have no doubt that after you are successful in completely destroying yourselves, that you will blame the red states for it. Because we are thriving, and of course we couldn't possibly be thriving, unless we stole it from you.
yes, this country is going down the waterloo (toilet) quicker than I can say "bye".
An interesting statistic is the flipside of the one that said 1/3 of Chlamydia cases are teenagers. That means 2/3 of the cases are adults who are supposedly educated and know better. Yet more graphic education is supposed to solve the problem?
"…but we also have a responsibility to ensure that teenagers who are choosing to have sex understand the potential consequences of their actions and know how to keep themselves safe." What a foolish statement! There is no such thing as "safe" when it comes to sex outside of a marriage commitment. To have sex with multiple partners is like playing Russian Roulette with a loaded weapon. Sadly, the intimate bond between a husband and wife has been made nothing more that a recreational past time. I has become a recreational sport, and the name of one's partner is not even important. Our culture has told our young people that casting off all moral restraint is the way to freedom and fun. No civilization has ever endured that embraced such a philosophy.
Yet, this is what we get when the Creator has systematically been legislated out of the public venue. When I was a child, we had "public schools." They were called that, because the public has influence and input. Parents were upheld as the authority in the life of a child. Yet, culture has also corrupted that. Today, we no longer have "public schools." Rather, we have "government schools." The government tells us they know better than parents, concerning what is best for their children. While it is true that there are irresponsible parents, they do not constitute the whole of parentage. The majority of parents take their role seriously.
It is time that we take sex education out of the schools, and place it back in the home where it can be taught correctly. That is the responsibility of parents. Government cannot, and will not, teach the moral side of sex. They are foolish enough to think that "safe sex" can be taught. Safe sex is only practiced by a man and woman, who have a wedding band that belongs to each other.
In my old high-school in Henderson, KY the "family" class I believe it is has the students wear this garment thing that makes a person "feel" the physical implications of pregnancy. Guys and girls both wear it. I saw this in our newspaper online. This kind of stuff is as wicked and hellish as the devil himself!!! People have chosen to accept blindness over sight and darkness over light when it comes to issues of morality and righteousness. This kind of trash going on in the US is prevalent here on the mission field. It is seems like a great deal of my preaching deals with issues of morality. I am working with a guy now who is fighting against porno and other sexually related issues. Another older teen came to my house about 8 weeks ago broken over his pornography. Another teen who just got saved 3-4 months ago did not know that homosexuality is a moral sin against God. I could go on and on but I need to get back in the WORD!
While I totally agree that certain things should not be taught in school, I see that many do not know how to instruct their children in morality. They only know what they have been taught themselves. Many have had no exposure to the Bible.
Today I saw a father drop his four year old off at school after class had started. He put him out of the van outside of the building where there was nobody around. He was crying hysterically. He tried to follow the van. If nobody had seen him, there is no telling what would have happened. This child was too small to even open the door. It is obvious that this person needs parenting skills.
Many families have multiple family members who play revolving doors at the jailhouse. The only person that has a positive influence in their lives is their public school teacher. I do not know one who I can say is an immoral person.
Biblical instruction is what they need, but if the parents reject, where does that leave the child? Many are left to raise themselves.
Well there are a bunch of degenerates who also happen to have had kids – those kids are also being raised as degenerates and the school district is well aware of that. These kids are exposed to much worse in their own homes and on the streets where they hang out. Additionally, there are a bunch of pedophiles in the school district that want the kids that are still innocent to be sexually corrputed; that way they are more susceptible to the pedophiles.
As a teacher, I find these proposed teaching as preposterous! This is way beyond teaching sex. Those that are proposing this curriculum have gone too far. I have to question if they don't have sexual perversions that are manifested by promoting these extreme teaching as mandatory exhibitionism. The authors appear to be sexually maladjusted to a point of promoting criminal behavior. These people need to be evaluated and stopped, possibly criminal charges are in order.
As the article stated "Abstinence is the only way to 100% safety" Seriously people take your heads out of the sand. In a country where sexual diseases, teenage pregnancies, and ignorance is at an all time high and getting worse. Do you seriously think that its going to get any better. Some of you suggest that sex education should be taught at home and not at school well I don't think that's working very well do you. As a christian I believe the fundamental values regarding the topic of sex before marriage but I'm not blind to expect everyone else too especially a bunch of curious and horny teenagers nor their shy or blinded parents and that's suggesting that the parents even care enough about their children to educate them. I agree to the notion that sex needs to be taught by a third party because it guarantees all kids are being educated and in the long run it will pay off for the future of our country at least in this aspect. Here's a test for all of you. Turn on your TV's and run through the channels. What do you see the most of? That's right you see something in the nature of sex and guess what….your kids are seeing that too and most likely finding it disgustingly interesting and curiosity is kicking in. What are you doing about it besides switching the TV off and turning a shoulder to it and pretending it doesn't exist.
Ohh my god people, really? I think anyone who thinks we should leave it up to parents is not to say the least a bit crazy. If you want that take your kids to home school or go private be my guest. However many who have commented are underestimating exactly how many parents are NEVER having this conversation with there children for a veriety of reasons but mostly because its awkward and well most of the parents are a product of the 60's free love and all the drugs you can eat buffet. I say if we can show our kids live sergury on the discovery channel then they can take a min and learn how to used and where they can buy a condom. We would love to think our kids are going to start making out and as soon as the pants come off they drop into a non aroused state. This just does not happen. Teens are tougher and smarter then anyone is giving them credit for and it shows looking at this board with people whining about immorality. The only way these parents are going to get what they want are if they let the "duggar" family raise them. Where there every move is monitored are relationships between anyone outside the family is strictly monitored. Sex is sex, oral, anal, and otherwise and lets not forget the catholics way of staying a virgin. So just because because unusual sex is taboo shouldn't we still be teaching them because some of those unusual practices are just want children see as safer.
I have not been this impressed by a state government in a very long time. Sex education needs to be taught and all the parents commenting on this article that are so upset by the possible curriculum need to get their heads out of the sand and look at what teenagers do when their parents aren't looking. I am doing my college thesis on sexual education and how it effects teenagers decisions and I'm sorry to tell you the research is there to show that comprehensive sex education has more of a positive impact than anything else approved across the United States. If you want research to show why this is much needed please feel free to ask and I will give you tons of reading.

This is why I am seriously considering home schooling my grandson. What the courts allow to be taught in school is insane. California allows teachers to talk about same sex marriages with books like "My two Dads". Our forefathers are doing cartwheels in their graves.
So why not just forget letting a child have a childhood and just let them watch porno movies. Then we can quadruple the unwanted, child pregnancy that we now have, or more rape my under age children. We are no longer a nation under GOD, and we are well on our way to the destruction of our country from within.
If I am not mistaken, wasn't Larry Flint owner of Hustler magazine Charged, Tried, Convicted, and Imprisoned for just showing pictures in his magazines of women who chose to pose. and this magazine was for Adults to purchase with their own money, what he dd is or was not or should not have been considered a crime, yet the School district is doing much worse and attempting to influience our childrens minds and making it Manditory for children to learn this sexual information that should only be for Adults to begin with.
This should be considered a Criminal Act perpetrated by the New York City School System. They should be Arrested, Tried, Convicted, and sentenced to prison for being sexual preditors and teaching this sexual information to our children. Pedifiles do the same action and get Charged with criminal sexual assault, what the hell is the difference.
I agree with most of what they have to say here. It's a good way to teach kids how to prevent teenage pregnancies but it is very graffic and I'm not sure all of the kids would be mature enough to take the class seriously. In the end I think its a good idea because it will lower the teen pregnancies and its not like the kids won't already be learning about it and experimenting.
This is MAJOR New York! People NEED to get off their butts and hold a mandatory meeting at city hall including Bloomberg and "SAFE" school Tsar Keving Jennings. Gubment can't be given this much authority over 11 y.o. kids. What needs to be taught is proper hygiene, health/nutrition, self respect and code of ethics. Values and morals are becoming void in this country, some of the reasons we were once such a desired nation. This is a disgrace if everyone just rolls over on this one.
I find it rather ironic that on one hand they say abstinence is the 100% to avoid STD's and undesired pregnancy but some of the other topics include mutual masturbation, anal sex and using an oil based lubricant with a condom. Why not tell the children to be safe "…don't play in the street but if you really want too….." Yes teenagers are going to buck the system but really going this far?
homeschooling is freaky and few parents can be trusted to actually help their kids anymore than nowadays teachers can. Its for paranoid control freak parents who wont let go and live vicariously through their kids. There are things out in the world that mummie and dada cant show them.
This idea is equivalent to telling youngsters not to smoke pot but teaching them how to inhale in the same class. Sex education to this age group is counter productive….well, wait a minute, the Liberals are behind this so it's not counter productive to there philosophy.
Liberal agenda, plain and simple. Teaching this age group sex education is like a drug awareness class teaching the proper way to inhale.
"Abstinence is a very important part of the curriculum, but we also have a responsibility to ensure that teenagers who are choosing to have sex understand the potential consequences of their actions and know how to keep themselves safe,’ the statement read.
NO, IT IS NOT THE SCHOOL'S "RESPONSIBILITY"! TEACHERS, LEAVE OUR KIDS ALONE!
I realize that Bloomberg and DOE believes they are more intelligent than the average Joe but what I want to know is who do they think will be responsible for the "children" that will be disfunctional, bullied, commit suicide, when they can't "perform" or "not the same size" as what they learned or are pressured into. Rather than "teaching" them to be immoral maybe they could "teach" them good morals and have some self respect. And besides who gave the DOE the authority to take the FUN out of learning it for yourself? I think the people pushing this program are just perverts that (get off) knowing they can teach 12 years olds how to have sex.
This is government sponsored child abuse.
