YouTube Description
as posted by the channelCalifornia is viewed as a very liberal state but one town’s parents are protesting a new sex education course at the school. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Jimmy Dore, Ray and William Johnson, the hosts of The Young Turks, discuss if the program is too inappropriate for kids. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Sexual education in America is in a bleak state. In fact, teens are getting less sex ed than they were 10 years ago. Currently, only 24 states and the District of Columbia require schools to teach sex ed, only 13 states require sex and HIV education to be medically accurate, and many sex ed programs fail to address the LGBTQ population. And while some parents are making an effort to improve the sex ed offerings at their childrens’ schools, others are resisting progress.
Broadly reports that so many parents in California’s Cupertino Union School District protested a new seventh grade sex ed curriculum that the school board failed to pass it. More than 150 parents attended a school board meeting on Tuesday, the San Jose Mercury News reports, and nearly 4,500 people signed a Change.org petition to reject the new curriculum, which contains definitions of anal, vaginal, and oral sex. The Change.org petition referred to the curriculum as “age inappropriate” and that “the scenarios described in the curriculum are designed to increase curiosity on different sexual behaviors in immature minds.”
The new program was designed by Health Connected in response to the California Healthy Youth Act which was passed last year, requiring school districts to provide “integrated, comprehensive, accurate, and unbiased comprehensive sexual health and HIV prevention education at least once in middle school and once in high school.” The law states that the education must “recognize different sexual orientations, and be inclusive of same-sex relationships,” which the current curriculum, that dates back to 2003, doesn’t do.”
