How come to a Liberal every different opinion is a lie?

How come people make unsubstantiated broadbrushed claims?

How come people insult other's looks on internet messageboard swhen they disagree?

I am not the least bit embarrassed for not "fact checking" the article. They pay others to do that. What might be embarrassing though is supporting something like "intensive sex ed for 10 year olds" and then finding out it might not be true. But that still doesn't make you a child abuser; or a dinosaur. Just a fool.

It's not like conservatives have a very good track-record of telling the truth..

Shit.. most of you still think Saddam was linked to 9/11.

Of course you aren't embarrassed about whining about a Report you have not read at all. I pointed that out several posts ago......got anything new or is it time to repeat your cycle of bitching out of pure ignorance?

I am obsessed with the exploitation of children. If you think teaching 10 year olds about sexual pleasure is fine, I might ask you why. Its not sex. It's rape dingbat.

Paperview is right in that this is the IPPF, but when people here start defending it, that's when we have to worry.

Hey - let's teach 10 year old the "pleasures" of alcohol and drugs too! After all, many people enjoy it.

Don't you think inquisitive children are going to ask why adults do such a freaky and scary looking thing as sticking penises in parts kids have been taught are private? I sincerely doubt PP is promoting the pleasure of sex to children. Fox is being dishonest.

If a sex education class teaches about risks and the fact that at some point their bodies will begin to has a pleasure stimulus which they will need to learn to deal with, that is not a bad thing. Boys and girls react differently and have different adolescent experiences, hence they should have separate classes. For girls the class could also teach about menstruation, which could avoid a Carrie-esque scene where a child believes they are seriously injured.

The classes ought to teach children caution, since abstinence is seen as a "do as I say" routine. Unless nuns are teaching, then it might be "do as I do" but how many want to be a nuns - especially boys (unless they have some odd habits)

"odd habits; lol!!

good points as well.

A new report by the International Planned Parenthood Federation is advocating that children as young as 10 be given extensive sex education, including an awareness of sex's pleasures.

The report, "Stand and Deliver," charges that religious groups, specifically Catholics and Muslims, deny their young access to comprehensive sexual programs and education.

"Young people's sexuality is still contentious for many religious institutions. Fundamentalist and other religious groups — the Catholic Church and madrasas (Islamic Schools) for example — have imposed tremendous barriers that prevent young people, particularly, from obtaining information and services related to sex and reproduction. Currently, many religious teachings deny the pleasurable and positive aspects of sex." the report states.

Anyone have a problem with the "sexualization" of children?

Good, as reproduction is a part of biology, human reproduction should be taught as part of any biology curriculum.

I think 10 might be young, but 13 is appropriate.

If you think the average 10-13 year old doesn't have a vague idea of sex (and probably a lot of wrong ideas about it), you are pumping gas on Mars.

Glad you guys aren't teaching my children. That's my job.

I wouldn't be surprised if the same people advocating this kind of curriculum argue against age of consent and child porn laws as well. Sickos.

It's good that you consider it your job to teach your kids about sex. Many parents are unwilling or unable to do so. I'm glad those kids have schools to fall back on. No child should be left out in the cold.

i teach this class UUA: Our Whole Lives to 12-13 year olds. there are also age appropriate curricula for ages from kindergarten to adulthood. since there was very little information given as to the PP curriculum other than the hysteria and over reaction from the usual suspects, i can't comment on its specifics, but i suspect there are probably some similarities so i guess i would more than likely advocate for their curriculum.

i guess i should just call chris hansen, grab a bag of wine coolers and have a seat.

Good for you for actually doing something personally about educating the next generations.

Sorry folks but you won't change my mind about how teen pregnancy and single motherhood is helping to destroy this country. And "glorifying" and defending the sexualization of children is part of the problem.

Innocence is to be treasured. Ten year olds should be learning about fractions in school; not masturbation.

Who is glorifying what?

Innocence is one thing. You seem to be glorifying ignorance. That leads to 11 year old giving birth.

So you try to equate sensible responsible education to pedophilia? Well, I guess that is a common way to derail be it this issue or same sex marriage. You've basically just said you can't justify your paranoia so instead of being mature enough for reflection you accuse others of child porn.....which breeds more paranoia. You probably hit your kids and try to use the Bible to justify it too. I sure as hell hope someone is teaching your children because there is no way in hell you are capable.

My children are teenagers and have managed not to get anyone pregnant yet, but thank you for your concern. I am 100% certain they were not having sex in the 5th grade and would be greatly disturbed if they were.

I have stated several times on this forum that I don't believe sex ed has much efficacy at all, but I am not opposed. I am opposed to teaching middle schoolers about "pleasure" rather than contraception. They can learn about that on their own when they ARE READY!

I'm curious what Planned Parenthood's position on marriage is. I don't expect kids to wait until marriage before they have sex, but it is not unreasonable for them to wait to have children until they are married. I know - I'm just a dinosaur.

Why would PP even offer an opinion on marriage? They are not in the morality or couple counseling business. You might as well ask when the official Planned Parenthood All Star favorite football players list is coming out. Or the PP cookbook.

Oh and del I am not on the board of PP. But if you google "abortion revenue" you will find all kinds of confliciting stats from pro-life to pro-choice groups, The truth is probably somewhere in between.

i was referring to your certainty that there wouldn't be a preteen page set up on their web site, not the proportion of their income derived from their various services. sorry i wasn't more clear.

 

[Anguille]

Yes Luissa I did. And in that case I'm fairly certain it was rape - not "consensual sex" between 10 year olds -

Ever consider the possibility that no rape rape would have occured had the kids been better educated?
I think promiscuity is learned at home, not in the classroom. Just like kids whose parents smoke are more likely to smoke themselves regardless of the anti smoking education they get in school.

 

[Anguille]

Of course, the UN wants to teach 5-year-olds to masturbate, so it seems you people want to get them ready for their lot in life as soon as possible.

I have news for you. % year olds and younger all masterbate on their own. Try and catch up. It's never too late. Even at your age.

What is the obsession with saying it is only the parents' job to teach an aspect of human biology? Farting is more embarrassing than sex so why not say "Flatulation is a private celebration and should only be taught by parents!"

What about history? Isn't that more important than sex? Social sciences, math, critical thinking, art, and music are all more important than sex so why do so many obsess over saying it is the parents' job? I have a stupid theory. Juxtapose that position with how often parents avoid being candid with their kids about sex. So if the parents are the only ones who should be doing the teaching and they are reluctant to do so, even avoid it to great lengths, then isn't it really a system of trying to maintain ignorance about sex for as long as possible? Why criminalize such a natural part of humanity?

To most people, parents at least, sex is a moral issue.
Moral issues should be taught in the home, certainly when it comes to sex, beyond some basics such as reproduction.
Unless you want to raise your son or daughter to be whores.

Our culture contradicts that theory because heterosexual and bisexual sex among women are celebrated everyday. But I think I know what you mean about it being a "moral" issue. That is the fallacy of begging the question because it assumes being sexually active outside of arbitrarily drawn lines, is somehow immoral. Why? Fucking is fun. It can be problematic if you don't use common sense but the moral dilemma is without merit.

What about the kids whose parents don't give a flying fuck about their sexual behavior?

Or what about the little girl whose daddy has been screwing her since she was 7 years old? I guess its up to Daddy to teach her about everything.. and the rest of us should stay out of it right?

All this "leave it up to the parents" is a load of horse-shit. We've been leaving it up to the parents for many many generations now... but unfortunately "parents" have been replaced by societal pressures, easy access to pornography, oversexed peers, etc...etc...

We need someone in the schools to let kids know what the real world is like. Many parents don't give two shits in the first place, and if we keep the responsibility "in the home" then those kids will become the very parents on which we are placing the responsibility.

Sex is fun. One of my favorite quotes is from Roger Staubach in an interview he did in the 70's talking about his reputation as a "square"...something along the lines of "I love Sex as much as Joe Namath...I just do it with one woman."
Mulitple partners brings baggage. I think if anyone is denying that you are not really being honest with yourself.
