Let me start by saying that THANkFULLY I have now Children ..... at least non I know of!
Do you remember the first time you heard about the birds and bees?? I don't!
Do you remember being a kid and making jokes about female and male body parts as a teenager?? I do!
The vast majority of my "sex Education" was gleaned from silly, off topic discussions, sexual innuendo, "pointing and laughing" , and I guess those rare issues of Playboy I found, well hidden, in my parents walk in closet.
Here's the basic plan, and the problem I have with it.
Grade 1(6 years old!)...... The new curriculum begins in Grade 1 with lessons about the proper names of body parts.
OK , I have a problem with that, at that age you are sexualizing body parts you are talking of 2 sexes, that we are different, the kids don't realize they are different for another 4-5 years, remember all the playing you did when you were young where boy or girl you just played??You'll be losing that.
I guess it's kind of like putting people from different back ground in the same class when they are children, until people are told they are less, or are different everybody gets along. It's only when outside forces influence them(parents, religious figures, ETC) to they notice the differences, and tend to focus on that.
Try it at grade 5-6, kids are pretty smart by then.
OK, here's the rest of the text from Canoe.ca

The only good thing that can come out of this is the acceptance of what is still considered "alternate lifestyles" ...... your gay or lesbian ..... good for you, enjoy you life together!
As for other cultures ...... Polygamy ....NOPE ..... if only because it can put a HUGE stress on our social assistance costs and every other type of service the government offers ... and we would have to pay that if polygamy were legal.
OH, here's the update, the furor was pretty big ..... leave the basics to the parent, but in grade 9 kids should be taught the basics IMO
