No argument from me!
I am curious though with whether sex addiction is included as a part of the sex-education curriculum. I'm not talking about it dominating the curriculum, but still at least being included in one lesson.
No argument from me!
Then as far as I'm concerned, their wishes should be respected. They should be allowed to have their kids opt-out of the program. They are the parents after all. But hey, it seems parental rights are passé. While I may not agree with their choices we have to respect their decisions.
Haven't you heard? Ontario teachers and education officials aren't just in charge of educating kids, they are actually "co-parents".

When you're done clutching your pearls, consider that this is not really any different from the "in loco parentis" rule that's been in place for decades.
Does this rule support the obligation to arrest, strip search, and threaten weapons charges against a father who's child draws a picture of a gun? Surely even you can see the overreaching insanity of this situation.
I can see that argument by anecdote is the go-to tactic of a fool.
...Except it's not an anecdote, it's a news story in which a public school official declares himself and his comrades in the public school system to be a co-parent of the kids under his authority.
BTW, if you look you'll see that the second cite I posted is the same story as the first citation...just from a different source. It supports the story which you responded to with your goofy "clutching your pearls" retort, and is not anecdotal. It's okay though, it is a difficult position to try and show justification for...your awkward response is understandable.
You should really look up what "anecdote" means.
Actually 1998.
White nationalist climate change deniers are only vaguely concerned with facts.
Judging by the reaction, I'm gonna conclude they're teaching that sex is healthy and normal.
Shhhh! Hoid will grow up to find out about those later!
Don't spoil the surprise!
If you look up sexual abuse statistics for both boys and girls and men and women, you find that they are shockingly high:

We also know that victims of sexual trauma can often develop compulsive sexual behaviours of their own once they reach adulthood. That behcaviour can range from nothing more than compulsive sexual thoughts to compulsive masturbation to compulsive promiscuity all the way up to paying for or selling sex, committing sexual assault, and molesting children. given the high rates of abuse, it should therefore come as no surprise that around 6-8% of Americans suffer some form of compulsive sexual disorder:

With such high statistics in mind, it would make sense to include sex addiction in the curriculum to ensure that children who may develop any such disorder can recognize the signs and know where to find help.
Scary isn't it??
Especially when you consider how a few teachers might be giving their kids extra sex ed lessons on the side, and not the healthy kind.
That was an old dream of mine but, alas, she married and moved away.

Pretty much, depending on your view of normal.SOme people think that any sex other than between a man and a woman that have been churched is abnormal.
I think he is right for once. Parental controls are easy to circumvent.More of a joke to keep the computer illiterate in a state of ignorant Bliss than any real control.
That would depend on who is setting the paramaters. WIth your perverted ideas of what constitutes healthy sexual behavior we could easily end up going backwards to where sex is dirty and must be kept hidden.
As someone who had experienced sex with a woman as a child, I can say that my sense of boundaries probably is skewed in ways even I still struggle to understand. But you tell me, what are my ideas of what constitutes healthy sexual behaviour?
Given how most guys think an attractive woman having sex with a young straight boy is somehow doing him a favour, I'd say I might have a healthier sense of unhealthy sexual behaviour than most guys at least.
Uh, yeah...it was the same story, from two separate sources. His co-parent comment was not an anecdote.
