Highly Sexualized K-12 "Healthy Youth" Curriculum For K-3 Grades
No intention to detract from the seemingly-popular "wife sodomy" thread here, but I was recently reminded of how, for leftists, doing good ain't got no end.
A parent in a social media group posted some images of materials used in the K-3 "California Healthy Youth Act" curriculum. If you have children or grandchildren in CA public schools, these are samples of materials kids in grades K-3 could be reading. The leftists have completely sexualized this curriculum, and parents need to know that this is being pushed in their local schools, and that CA Ed code ยง51939 lets them exempt their kids from this nonsense.

What in the EFFF???? Holy cow. Um.. let kids be kids?!! Maybe I'm ignorant, but we didn't learn this until 5th grade. Which is around when puberty kicks in for most kids. Maybe I'm old school but this is too much.
So I dont exactly understand how this goes--is this State required? or City/County? We're in NorCal, I'm hoping we dont have the same or equivalent curriculum. |

Typically the largest demographic of folks who take issue with this curriculum tend to be the committed Christians, IME. The opposition is often organizing in local churches, not local synagogues or local mosques, though there are probably Jewish and Muslim parents who also find it objectionable.

That's sickening. Wow. As this gets out, more homeschooling will take place for young kids.
Thanks for sharing. I never knew the "what" of these teachings.

Since a percentage of kids will eventually get hooked on heroine let's just add "safe shooting" to the curriculum. Never too early to learn how to mix drinks...how about a K-3 cartoon bar tender's guide? Anf let's face it, the majority of CA kids will eventually smoke pot do how about teaching them early with a fun cartoon book that discusses the various methods?
ETA: Showed these pics to my libtard wife and asked at what age she'd expect our little girl to come home with these books. Her reply "10th grade" Even she couldn't believe it. Last edited by WalterJones; 03-14-2019 at 5:45 PM.. |

It has nothing to do with maturing early. The left hates America and wants to destroy it. Destroying the nuclear family is the key to is disruption. Take away parents ability to protect child innocence or the ability to instruct their children in the values of the family are the best ways to make people dependent on the state rather than the sovereignty of the nuclear family. Also, it teaches that pre-marital sex is fine. Further breaking down the pre-eminence of the nuclear family which is the building block of civilization. If you want to destroy a civilization, this is how you do it. The left has been at it for 50+ years.

I don't even think homeschooling helps as much as people think. With internet and smart phones and their friends kids seem to lose their innocence at younger ages than I remember when I was a child. Also even regular TV promotes and shows homosexuality as normal and mainstream much more nowadays.
Even in the old days there was always a kid at school or elsewhere that would have a porn magazine they got somewhere and show everyone else. I'm know my mom didn't enjoy when I asked her at a very young age what f**k and jack off** meant. I had read it on a restroom stall. She had someone from church try to explain some of that to me I remember on one occasion. |

The book per se doesn't bother me... It's simply not the states job to teach such things to children.
If anyone disagrees then ask yourself this question... How is it that humanity got by just fine for thousands of years without the government "teaching" children such things? This is nothing more than overt manipulation to strip parents rights from them and vest all power over children's lives with the state. ANYONE that is concerned about the power of government should be worried.

sorry, you don't know what you're talking about
Quote:
Here's my take: you've got a right to your opinions, values, and to free speech of course. We all do. We even have the right to be ignorant, out-of-touch, and simply ill-informed. I sure am, about lots of stuff. The older I get, the more that seems to happen. Do you have a child in elementary school? I have two. That doesn't make me an expert in puberty or ethics or education, but I am an expert in these two kids. They're starting puberty in the K-3 age, which you're asking about. My daughter is nine (9) and going thru puberty. She wears a bra. Her breasts are painfully sensitive. She has skin problems, totally normal... for a teen. She's got hormone chaos, emotional outbursts, body hair coming in... she's putting on muscle, and is taller than some girls (and boys) multiple grades ahead. It's not just her: some of the boys in her 3rd grade class already have little mustaches and boners under the sweatpants. (Parents hear about this stuff, even if we don't want to.) This is in 3rd grade! Last year, in second grade, a big group got busted for talking about sex -- full on PIV -- at lunch. That's not a phone call you expect from a 2nd grade teacher, but... isn't that exactly the type of convo you expect kids going through puberty to have? (To the point a previous post made about "learning about this stuff like we did, from other kids" yeah that's happening too. In addition to books. It's not either/or.) Some of the girls on my daughter's YMCA basketball team have already gone through ALL of puberty. They're in 5-7th grade (my daughter is tall so she's on a team with girls 2-4 years older) but look like young highschoolers of my generation. As a dad, I'm like, "WTF Over" but it is what it is! A few of the other boys on my son's little league team are as tall as small men already. And he's in FIRST grade. These are third and fourth graders. Some of them are not just starting puberty, they are probably halfway (?) done... experiencing at age ~10 stuff I didn't go through until 13-14. Sigh. And in my defense as a parent, I've been super careful to avoid the types of plastics that leach synthetic hormones into my kids. And chemicals and products that can act like hormones. Fact is, there are artificial hormones (and antibiotics) in our milk and our meat now, that simply were not present 50 years ago. And less common, 20-30 years ago. Wish we had a better USDA, FDA and CDC etc, but we don't, and that's a topic for a different thread not in the religion sub-forum. As much as I wish that early puberty weren't a fact, it is. And it's also NOT unusual, abnormal, or weird. It's a fact of life, modern life, anyway. That's reality. For complex reasons, kids ARE beginning puberty earlier now we did a generation ago (or two, or three... plenty of older folks on this site, don't mean to be age-ist). Therefore, the questions kids have and need answers to, are coming earlier. If you don't understand that, you're not living in the real world. So feel free to your concern. Even your moral outrage or nostalgia. I think it's OK to get SUPER CRAZY UPSET about what our kids are being taught. Get involved! I do. (Personally, I'm anti charter school.) We are so hugely lucky to live in this amazing, free country. And for all the complaining about California, we're lucky to be here too. But you're just wrong when you state our fellow forum member is "overstating" anything about puberty starting earlier. He couldn't be more right. He's telling you the truth, you're just not listening, or don't want to hear it. I'd ask yourself why, frankly. Q: You know what else is a reality-based fact, that wasn't true when we were younger, but is a day-to-day aspect of parenting in modern times? A: That your elementary school kids ask their parents why priests are raping children? And why the church lets them get away with it? Because this is literally in the news almost every day now. And they get the news in their classrooms too. Not just at home, where at least I can turn off the radio or TV if something alarming or gruesome is blaring. Do I wish that weren't happening, yes I do. I wish I could better offer my children a carefree youth, and more time to just be kids and play around and grow up (and go thru puberty) slower. But I can't. Obviously, it's better the topics come up earlier, and more publically (i.e. with healthy adults and peers in non-taboo non-sexualized circumstances) in both the family and educational context... many years before it might be forced on them by some molester creep priest or the proverbial "uncle touchy." And there are sadly a LOT of creeps and child molesters out there. I mean, this is not academic, it's empiric: this is reality, not imaginary. One need only look at the public sex offender maps (which we should literally thank the government for) to see how common, how real, how local the registered sex offenders are in California. And those are just the criminals, who got caught! How many more must be out there, who haven't been caught? In generations past we were literally ignorant of how pervasive child abuse was. We're not now, and that's not a "for better or worse" thing, it's strictly for the better. Knowing is good. Ignorance is dangerous. And the cure for ignorance is education. This is simple. And blaming education (or learning) for ANYTHING is backward, no offense. Not just pointless but demonstrably, logically, ethically, and morally wrong. Anyone who argues otherwise is arguing, by extension, we should not know and/or not teach our children which mushrooms are poisonous, or that some snakes can kill you, or teach moms thalidomide makes flippers etc. Should we not teach kids guns are dangerous when used carelessly? Is K-3 "too young" to teach gun safety? Of course not. We all understand the reality, and teach what's needed, when it's needed. But in the case of sex ed, or early puberty, you seem to be disagreeing with reality. Truth is not subjective, so in this case, your opinion is just wrong. I'm calling you out on that, because while you're entitled to your opinion, and free to associate with other wrong-thinkers... you're not entitled to freedom from facts. Feel free to argue (or loathe) my opinions. But facts are facts. When I see those book pages you posted, I can totally see why they might alarm some people. Especially people without young children. I see a kids book, about reality. Two clicks on YouTube or Netflix, kids see infinitely worse, every day. To wrap up... given this is the religion forum, I think we ought to have more earnest conversations with each other about how we can all help our children and our communities in an increasingly turbulent and sometimes downright scary world. (Terrorism, school shootings, natural disasters like recent fires etc.) What role is the best role for religion, the church, the family, our public vs private schools, going forward? Because sadly it seems to be the case that what we've been doing over the last hundred years or so, didn't work, in the case of our churches and their lack of moral leadership... with regards child abuse specifically. Bringing this back to the sex ed topic, as a dad, I'll literally be damned before I let my kids proceed into the future -- to come of age -- ignorant of basic facts of life, nature, whatever you want to call the reality of how their bodies work. Let alone allow them to feel shame or sin or gross for being human. Or asking. Let alone letting a priest or other fact-denier/science-denier have a chance to lie to my kids, before I or their teachers have taught them the truth. Anyway, I apologize in advance if this post feels like an assault on you. Or if any of my vocab choices feel like insults. It's not YOU I'm railing against here. So what am I railing against? It's primarily the denial of the fact that kids are starting puberty earlier these days (which, to repeat: they really are); and secondarily, the implicit supposition that we can accomplish anything good by promoting ignorance of any kind, non-teaching, about biology and bodies... especially when our kids are already getting cluster-bombed with an almost overwhelming variety of sexualization in their toys, clothes, media, music etc. It seems to me, like the literal least we can do, to equip them with non-sexualized answers to their age-appropriate questions. At whatever age the questions surface. And for some kids, that's shockingly early, because puberty is starting shockingly early, for some kids. It just is. Best wishes p.s. Related tangent: unless we want to have a truly contentious internet debate, don't even get me started on active-shooter school safety, in school, for K-3 kids. Because my kids (7 and 9) have already had to spend time at school being taught how to stay alive if there's a shooter in their school. And there's no parent opt-out on that. It's mandatory. And that's probably a good thing. Which is sadly a similar issue to this early puberty topic, in that man oh man... of course I wish 100% it weren't happening like this, to them, on our watch. But it is. And we gotta be realistic about that. Especially those of us who are enthusiastic about firearms, and want to raise the next generation of responsible Americans. And so I'll close here as a dad, asking those of us on the CalGuns forum who aren't parents, to step back a bit from the extremes of personal preference, and adult political or sectarian philosophy etc, and just have some basic empathy and charity of heart when kids are involved. Hopefully we can all agree actual kids are infinitely more important, than winning internet arguments. Last edited by hkmp5; 03-21-2019 at 12:32 PM.. Reason: typo, leech != leach |

@hkmp5
I'm wondering what percentage of K-3 kids are going through puberty. I'm guessing it's not high. And is it beneficial to expose all the other kids to things that they don't need to know yet, for the benefit of the few? Nothing is stopping the parents of those early puberty kids from educating them at home rather than the State mandating exposure to the whole? |

I see zero wrong with those books your posted. Like others have posted, its not uncommon for females to begin puberty at 8 (My wife says she did). 8 years old is typical for 2nd grade. This looks like solid, but basic means of education aimed at chilren. Even the cartoons do a good way to depicting to the child a good way to inspect and learn about their own bodies. I think it's important for the state to provide some education like this. So many have parents that either aren't present, or will refuse to teach children anything til its too late, they've already learned it all on youtube or more dark corner of the internet. This starts a conversation that can be finished at home.
As far as the "left is trying to destroy the world" agenda someone mentioned, you're really far from reality my friend. Try meeting someone who is left of center and having a general conversation with them. You'll find they share a lot of the same values as you do, but may seek different ways of attaining them. This whole "they are the soulless enemy" mentality is exactly what those in power want you to think. The media portrays only the extremes of both the left and right. Try to remember the majority of people are much more central in their beliefs/politics. |

They are the souless enemy. It should be education not indoctrination. Parents need to decide when these things should happen and where. Not at the whim of faceless bureaucrats.

What part of the OP's books is indoctrination??? The problem with parents deciding, is that it has been shown that a lot of parents suck, and children suffer because of it. Children may never be taught, or taught too late. As a society we decided that SOME things are better if government steps in. Why even send your kids to school at all if you disagree? |

Freedom demands that we do all in our power to decrease the power and influence of government. This includes allowing government to educate our children. All entities seek out their own self interests. With government it is to get people addicted to government. I'd rather have crappy parents educating the children than government.
