Ed Too Sexy for Parents

Ed Too Sexy for Parents November 8, 2005

Parents do not have a right to control when, where, and how their children are taught about sex. So rules the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

This all stems from parental outrage over a survey given to 1st, 3rd, and 5th graders. Hello! Here’s a sample:

Kids ages 7 through 10 were asked, for example, to rate the following activities according to how often they experienced the thought or emotion:

“Touching my private parts too much.”

“Thinking about having sex.”

“Thinking about touching other people’s private parts.”

“Thinking about sex when I don’t want to.”

“Washing myself because I feel dirty on the inside.”

“Not trusting people because they might want sex.”

“Getting scared or upset when I think about sex.”

“Having sex feelings in my body.”

“Can’t stop thinking about sex.”

“Getting upset when people talk about sex.”
