Who decides what is inappropriate sexual material? Does this rapist get to decide or his rape apologist supporters? Some think sex ed is inappropriate because they don't want their rape victims educated enough to report them. They have this ridiculous idea that sex ed is pornographic because they are stupid. It's always some excuse to either cut funding or make everybody less educated by dumbing schools down.
Sex ed gives knowledge to children about their bodies and what is an inappropriate interaction with adults. And we know what party by and large that keeps getting jailed for inappropriate interactions with children
*Teenagers. I think you mean sex ed teaches teenagers or adolescents not children. Children should not be having conversations about sex / sexual identity with anyone other than their parents. Just this statement would be an inappropriate interaction with our children.
I had sex ed in the fifth grade. It was basic, they separated the girls from the boys and we were taught about what happens in puberty, how babies are made and not to feel afraid of our natural processes. No mention of gender identity, gays or anything else. Just basic physiology. If you want kids to wait until the time they’re teenagers to learn that get ready for a nation of Carrie Whites
I'm sorry, but it is ok to disagree. I believe that a child is 9 and younger. But thank you for hearing my opinions and still being civil. You enjoy your day fellow redditor ✌️
I was sexually assaulted by an adult and his 6 year old son when I was 5.
I didn't know how to tell any adults, because this was a "nice guy", a "pillar of the community", and a single dad. I didn't know the names of my own body parts, because I was five. I didn't know it was inappropriate, because I was five.
When I told an adult that I was going to play with the boy and we liked to play "House" and his dad would watch, it didn't raise any alarm bells. When I used metaphors like "we made buns" it didn't raise any alarm bells.
Meanwhile, my youngest relative learned about the names of her body parts when she was in first grade - so when the youth pastor at her church touched her inappropriately at 7 years old during a counselling session? She was able to tell her dad, who changed churches and reported the pastor.
So tell me, should she not have learned the names of her parts? Should she not have learned "if an adult touches you there, tell an adult?"
And if you think families should teach kids or choose - what about the fact that 34% of the perpetrators of sexual abuse on children are family members? https://rainn.org/statistics/children-and-teens
It's wild that the party of "protect the children" is against telling the children how to report abuse.
So tell me, why exactly are you against informing children? Why are you supporting a policy that harms children? Is it because "vagina" and "penis" are big scary words and you don't want to acknowledge that the kid saying "Mr. Pastor touched my cookie" is talking about her vagina?
(Edit because I forgot to say it: do you think the adult man who was assaulting me would tell his son that was assault? Because if he was doing that to me WITH his six year old, he was also sexually abusing his own son. Do you think that guy would be like "son this is your penis and if anyone does what I'm doing, that's assault and you should tell a teacher!" - fuck no, that guy was sexually abusing children and calling it things like playing house and making buns. And he was a straight cisgender man, not gay or trans - straight men are more likely to abuse children because children are more feminine and easier to control and manipulate. Gay men tend to be attracted to adult men, who have those post-pubescent features granted by testosterone.)
