Should children be taught this outside of the home?
Education Sex Mormons
Send letters to your local paper. The more people who voice their concern the better. This sounds like another ludicrous case of political correctness gone too far. Why would they waste taxpayers money debating and legislating about such useless issues?

I think that sex education should be taught in schools-- to an extent!
What I mean by this, is I think fully that it should be the parents responsibility to be talking to their own children, but there is always going to be some parents who either don't feel happy about discussing topics like this with their kids, or they cannot be bothered.
In these cases, it's not the children's fault, and they should be taught basic, sex education relating to heterosexual relationships, precautions that can be taken to stop sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies.
I personally don't believe in sex before marriage, so I wouldn't be promoting it, but with teenagers hormones being as they are, if they were to be having sex, they would be far better, being armed with the full information/protection beforehand.I would hate to see some young person (or anybody else for that matter) contract AIDS, through ignorance.
In my opinion only.

I am shocked that this law was passed in my country, not only because I do not think the school system should be in charge of the sexual education of my children but also because they are going to teach it to kids in pre-school also!.

| BUENOS AIRES, Oct 10 (IPS) - For the first time in Argentina, sex education will be on the curriculum at public and private schools all over the country. Women's organisations are celebrating the passage by Congress of a key law which complements the programme on "sexual health and responsible procreation" instituted in 2003. With only one dissenting vote, the Senate passed the National Programme of Comprehensive Sex Education last week, already approved in August by the Chamber of Deputies. The law requires the Ministry of Education to draw up guidelines for the sex education programme in conjunction with a multidisciplinary commission of experts. The text of the law begins by recognising that "all students have the right to comprehensive sex education" in public and private schools in every province in the country, and it defines such education as "combining biological, psychological, social, emotional and ethical aspects." The law stipulates that sex education is to be incorporated into the curriculum, and that "relevant, accurate, reliable and up-to-date" knowledge must be taught. Responsible attitudes to sexuality and prevention of health problems in general and sexual health problems in particular should be promoted. "This is the essential counterpart needed to complete the law on sexual health and responsible procreation," Dr. Mabel Bianco, director of the Foundation for Study and Investigation on Women and former director of the national HIV/AIDS programme, told IPS.. That law, approved in 2003, was considered a milestone in Argentina, as it was the first time the State expressed a definite intent to spread reproductive health information and ensure free distribution of contraceptives through public health centres all over the country. But while the law provided for sex education in public schools, it did not expressly delegate drawing up a curriculum to the Ministry of Education, or contemplate a special law. "Since then we have been fighting for sex education to be finally guaranteed for the whole country, which has now been approved," said Bianco.... Sex education will be taught to girls and boys from preschool level (five years old) through primary and secondary education, and in teacher training courses at tertiary level. In secular or religious private schools, leeway is granted to "adapt" the curriculum content to the philosophy and convictions of each particular educational community. |

Mormons and Sex Education
This is a two fold problem. Granted a lot of parents talk to their kids about sex and "educate" them on it. But you have to take into account the peer pressure they will receive from their friends to go all the way because they have done it. I know some kids go out as a group to have group sex. To get each other off numerous times. I believe this is a growing problem. We need to have some sex ed in schools to give them a more neutral education on sex and the dangers one can face form having multiple partners. I am sure most kids do not tell their parents when they have become sexually active.
THis is just my opinion.

There is a definite need for sex ed in schools. Regardless of faith, creed, colour etc etc sex happens and children need an awareness of it. I think the news story highlights an important aspect of it too. Education shouldn't just fix on the biological mechanics of sex but also open up discussion around the emotional issues too because they are inextricably linked to the act.
Where I think much of the problem in relation to the delivery of sex ed comes is in the attitude of the adults teaching it. So much embarrassment about talking about sex in the class room could be neutralised by the teacher being calm, honest and upfront about the whole subject thereby creating an environment were children can feel more comfortable talking and raising their concerns. Perhaps, another move might be to allow children some one on one counselling with a health professional during school time if they have some concerns/questions they just don't feel able to air in front of their peers? This might already happen but I think it'd be a good thing to introduce if not.
Another issue regarding sex ed is religion. Having gone to a catholic school I can tell you that my own particular experience of sex ed was dismal. There wasn't even a biology class on it. We had our sex ed in our Religious Education class meaning that the church's position on sex was paramount. There was no mention of contraceptives, sex outside of marriage or homosexuality which might all sound healthy and wholesome but actually meant we were being taught in a medieval bubble with no reference to the real modern world. I really hope things have changed.

I think it is an excellent Idea because so often mom and dad really never cover this side of sexual relations let along the mechanical side of every thing. To have all involved in the same knowledge level would definitely decrease the pressure on those who are not as knowledgeable in the area.
