Sex Education in Montana for Kids in Kindergarten

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2010/07/15/pn.sex.ed.kindergarten.hln?hpt=T2


This is an issue I will never relent to public school should we as parents choose this route. If we decide to go the public school route I will opt my kids out of sex education. Not because I don't think there isn't good information, but it's information without values behind it.


In this particular case the school district is going against the will of parents and teaching material that is not age appropriate. Nor is it moral. What's even sadder is the commentary/analysis by these panelist on this program. Seriously they sound so lukewarm on protecting little ones. The mom on the panel has the attitude of "whatever the experts say I'll do." She doesn't know that she is the expert on her children?

Parents have forgotten their role as protectors in many avenues of society. Shoot adults in general used to protect younger kids in society. Specifically many parents ( not all) are detached from teaching their kids values and morals. Leaving it to the "world" to bring them up.

I believe sending kids to school(s) for formal training is a great thing. But it becomes a bad thing when parents don't have their kids on the radar at all times. ( kudo's to the parents protesting this decision in this Montana school district, I'll keep an eye if this is overturned or not)


The verse below reminds me of the panelist as well as the superintendent of this school. Very well meaning, nothing but good intentions, but very off base.


Ephesians 4:17 - 18 (NIV)

17So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.
