New York schools are considering making fairly explicit sexual education conversations mandatory for their students. They worry students are getting enough sex education from their parents and are beginning to feel that it is there place to take care of that.
Where do you draw the line in these situations?
It is a difficult call, but in my opinion, New York has got it all wrong. There is absolutely a time and place for basic sex education in schools. There is always a reason to encourage abstinence. But, like Hannity says in this video, if they aren't even learning to read and write properly, why should we teach them about oral sex with braces? That is absurd!
Parents have a responsibility to educate their children and encourage them to practice abstinence, safe sex, whatever their standard may be. However, when parents don't take care of these needs at home, it does become the school's responsibility. Children need to learn these things if they are expected to function properly in such a chaotic world. BUT, what they learn, at what age, and how explicit the material may be is indeed up to the parents and families of the children. Subject such as bestiality, oral sex, etc. should never and I do mean never be mentioned in a formal public education setting.
I find it hard to believe that New York will figure out a way to mandate these teachings in public schools. There is simply too much working against them for that to take place. They should probably just go ahead and focus on getting those SAT scores up for now.
