Teaching Sex Education
As I was doing my morning reading over at Eschaton there was a simple text ad that struck me:
“Immoral Sex Acts Taught in Elementary School?” was the main message in a large font, then in a smaller font was: “Please Click Here To Sign The Petition.”
While I personally have nothing against “Immoral Sex Acts”, I really wouldn’t be comfortable signing a petition to teach them in elementary school. I think they should wait until middle school, so the students would have some experience to relate to what the poor embarrassed teachers, usually physical education instructors, are attempting to explain. Waiting will also assist researchers by providing the current slang terms for such acts, rather than trying to ask questions based on the approved names for “Immoral Sex Acts”. If you teach kids about “Immoral Sex Acts” in elementary school, the kids might not try them and will miss out on some of the angst of growing up. I mean what kid wants to do something that was taught in grade school when you are trying to revolt against adults.
The other problem is that no one wants their mouthy 8-year-old telling the world that his/her parents are involved in “Immoral Sex Acts”. It just creates problems with the neighbors.
