Sex education in Kindergarten?

[Torcularis Septentrionalis]

And again, that doesn't make it okay.

The only objectivity you're ever going to get is within math and science.

Everything else is personal interpretation.

Uh, no, science is part of the liberal agenda, too.

So is teaching kids that LGBT people exist a bad thing or something?

I'm confused as to why you haven't answered this question.

It isn't bad, it's not necessary. I want to learn something I can use, not try to avoid looking at pornography shown by some volunteer students from college who admit to being "former" drug users.

That's what's happening now in school.

You have fucking horrible methods of education then.

There are good ways in which sexual diversity (an essential component to the comprehensive teaching of sexual education) can be presented in its own adequate time.

How does one say that LGBT people are "good" or "bad"?

"LBGT people's lifestyle/sexuality/etc is or is not okay"

Basically this. I think I may have been a little less politically correct about it.

[Blasveck]

How does one say that LGBT people are "good" or "bad"?

Well,
Saying "All gay people go to Hell" is saying they're bad.
Saying "Gay marriage should be legal" is saying they're good.

Saying "Gay Marriage should be legal" should be a non-partisan, all-in-agreement deal.

But that isn't the topic at hand.

I don't believe either gender studies or political correctness are covered under sex education. Puberty, anatomy, STDs, contraception. That's all there is to this topic.

Are you still in school? If you're older than 17, then I have a more recent(and relevant) experience.

Please describe what they covered under their LGBT part of sex ed. I don't see why combining the two would make sense, except in the context of learning about HIV/AIDS.

I assumed its goal, if any, would be to reduce STD's.

Not working.

The goal in sex education is to reduce unwanted pregnancies as well, which it most certainly does, in addition to lowering STI rates in places that put said policies in place.

As well, the problem also becomes a matter of demographics, not just sex education v. abstinence only. Particularly considering that those populations most at risk for STI transmission are, consistently, those populations with the poorest education and socioeconomic background. When one never receives sex education at all, whether because of abstinence-only policies or poor education, the STI infection rates go up. This isn't hard.

It's still forcing a form of "morality" on someone.

I'm in one of the top 10 voted public schools in America. I'm not saying which because i'm mildly paranoid.

They're both still different opinions of different people, and schools should not be biased towards either.

Evolution is a fact.

Creationism is not.

They do. But media, films, literature, and art are not government run.

I pity the fact that I had a better bad quality middle school (funded by some random stealing neoliberal government) experimental sex ed than you had a tested final line one pretending to adequately serve a good quality education place.

And, again, you won't stop the papilloma virus unless you vaccinate against it, because most of the adult population has it, and condoms don't always protect against it.

If you've had sex with two or more people, chances are you do too. Even if you can't see it.

So vaccinate your kids! It's the only way we're going to beat this thing.

Schools should be teaching demonstrably true things to our children. We don't go around trying not to be biased against flat-earthers in our education system.

But they still have bias.

So they're obviously evil and wrong.

It is funny how in Brazil we prefer to go by "no one teaches stupid, no one teaches bullshit" and things work!
