School proposes controversial sex education program!
HELENA, Montana - July 9, 2010 - A proposed plan to teach kindergartners sex education has come under fire in Helena, Montana.
The Helena Public School system is considering a comprehensive plan for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. It includes teaching first graders that people can be attracted to the same gender. In second grade students are instructed to avoid homosexual slurs and by the time students turn 10 years old they are taught about various types of intercourse.
According to the draft proposal obtained by FOX News Radio, fifth graders should “understand that sexual intercourse includes but is not limited to vaginal, oral, or anal penetration.”
Jeff Laszloffy, of the Montana Family Foundation, is among those outraged that educators want to teach sex education to kindergartners.
“It’s absolutely insane,” Laszloffy told FOX News Radio. “This is not education. This has crossed the line and has gone from education to indoctrination and that’s the problem parents have.”
School board postpones action on sex ed proposal
HELENA, Montana - July 14, 2010 - An executive committee made up of Helena school board trustees has decided to postpone action on a proposed sex education program that has angered many in the community.
The proposal would teach first-graders about same-gender relationships, fifth-graders that sexual intercourse includes "vaginal, oral, or anal penetration," and high school students about erotic art. The curriculum also would teach kindergartners anatomical terms for sex organs.
At a hearing Tuesday night, several parents urged the board to take the proposal back to the drawing board. The board was scheduled to discuss the topic again in August.
But the committee decided Friday to take up the proposed sex education program again during a September 14 meeting and could vote on it in October. The postponement will allow the curriculum's authors to consider the outpouring of comments from the community and make any changes.
