Teaching kids that homosexuality exists is not indoctrination, its fact....teaching them that they are born in sin is more harmful then this proposed curriculum

hey Shannon, if you're so concerned about the porn industry then why don't you do something about that??? Maybe it's because the people who fuel that aspect of our hyper-sexual society are the SAME people who have brought upon this extreme "sexualizing" of our children. Pornography is, of course, filth, but when you teach young children that sexual promiscuity is healthy they will then, when (inevitably, you say) they do view pornography, they will not see it as filth but as healthy and normal

@TimeGod12 The point is that you're totally wrong -- and bigoted to boot.

increase the detail about sex and things surrounded sex. teach children lightly at the beginning and more in depth as they get older.

I agree with Shannon and Lyba. They seem to have a lot of knowledge of this generation of children. This generation is growing up fast, it is very scary. I believe it is due to societal input in children's lives (media and peers) and the fact that parents do not know how to or have time to explain sex and to prevent it occuring until a proper age. Children innocence is disappearing in a younger age, and parents are spending less time with children. And teachers need to progressively

@BoredomCorner you seem to have forgotten that I had that a prepubescent 5 year old child does not have sexual urges: understand.

[TimeGod12]

@BoredomCorner Why are you going off-topic. The point of my original argument is that GAY AGENDA and indoctrination should not be pushed into the faces of innocent young children.

Its the parents job to teach them about this issue NOT the state. 

[BoredomCorner]

@Antisyncretism My point is, you're not giving young people enough credit for knowing what gender they are attracted to.

[BoredomCorner]

@TimeGod12 My point, you glib liar, is that we are not a theocracy that believes in oppressing people for being gay or non-Christian. Why in the world you would want anything like that, after the history of black people in North America and the freaking HOLOCAUST, is beyond me.
