Should sex ed be taught in Kindergarten?

Question

This Stems From Politician Barack Obama Stating He Would Teach Sex Education In Kindergarten...

"Is Kindergarten To Young For Sex Education???"

*(Look At Our Society Before You Make Your Decision!!!)*

Think About It...

My bad... I believe he is tryinhg to get the message across about innapropiate behavior... ie. rape, molestation....

Answer 1

Inappropriate touching should be taught as soon as a child can understand. When a child leaves the safety of his home environment and goes to a school environment then there are some things that child should know. It should be taught at home and reinforced at school. These are our children we are talking about, their safety.

Answer 2

education has to be age appropriate. I'm sure a kindergarten sex ed class would consist of "The birds and the bees" and a story about a stork lol. I fully support sex ed in schools.. but there's no need for a full blown sex ed class in kindergarten. That doesn't mean that children aren't exploring body parts at that age.. but it's out of curiosity and not out of hormonal lust at that point... and there are more appropriate ways to educate them. And Obama wasn't talking about rolling out the condoms in a kindergarten class.

Answer 3

Sex Education shouldn't be taught in school, at any age. Kindergartners, especially, don't have a comprehension of the nature of sex. The parents should be the ones teaching their kids about sex, and inappropriate touching, anyway. It's not something that should be taught to them by a stranger. How hard is it to tell your kids that they should tell you if someone touches them in their private places?

Answer 4

Yes- teach kids that certain areas are private and that if a stranger touches them there or makes them feel uncomfortable, go to a teacher, parent, or trusted adult.

I distinctly remember watching a "sex-ed" cartoon about a cat who wouldn't let strangers touch his tail each and every year in elementary school. He would say "I don't like it when you touch my tail like that, Mr. ****"(don't remember the strangers name) and the video would then extrapolate that into human terms. I think this type of thing is highly appropriate for kindergardeners!

Why wouldn't you teach a young child this? No one's proposing teaching them about the anatomy of sex or STDs. They're not even proposing mentioning sex!

Answer 5

Here in Britain there is no evidence that increasing sex education reduces underage pregnancies or STDs.

However, it probably depends on who is doing the teaching. Most teachers here are liberal and sex ed often encourages sex or suggests that it is normal for teens to be having sex (ie "This is what you do WHEN you are having sex" rather than "IF you're having sex").

There have even been occasions here in the UK where teachers have given advice on the best sexual positions.

Answer 6

No way, that's what's wrong with our society. Why do we need to teach 5 year olds about sex? At least wait until they hit puberty before you start bringing that up.

Answer 7

If it should be included at all, I think it should ONLY be very simple and in the context of the lessons about don't talk to strangers. Touching could be included - like people shouldn't touch you on parts of you covered by your bathing suit or something like that. And don't keep secrets from your parents or let people do things that make you uncomfortable.

But then, our daughter already knew that by the time she wad 5 because my husband and I taught her. Not all parents do, though.

Answer 8

Yes but to the teachers first, like adult women that take the innocence of young boys forever away to their world of decadence. When the child is old enough to ask leading questions, they already know too much of the wrong things about sex, from what they see. They do not miss much from watching us.

Answer 9

yeah i think its a gud idea! the teacher should be pedophil so he will really do his best. children should be naked, so they explore each others sex. the teacher can tell them what is what there, how they can use them, what happens if a boy cums in a little girls pussy, and let them try it out it ll be fun! do not forget to show them condoms, safety at first! then talk to them about homosexuality too. tell boys they can finger themselves for extra pleausure. tell girls how to suck a cock. show them lubes. dont forget to tell them to only use water based lubricants, becouse oil based cant be used with condoms! go ahead i support u. honestly, what do u think???? its a gud idea to tell children some things in SCHOOL, but in kindergarten??? oh god...

Answer 10

Children in kindergarten can't understand numbers 1 thru 5, why would we expose them to the complex world of sex?
