New NATIONAL Sexuality Education Standards

For the past four years the American Association of Health Education, the American School Health Association, the National Education Association – Health Information Network, the Society of State Leaders of Health and Physical Education, Advocates for Youth, Answer, and the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States have been working on and authoring a national sexuality program to create a national sexuality education standard to advance the implementation of sexuality education in US public schools.

These new recommendations include:

For kindergarten to second grade: They suggest that, by the end of second grade, children should be using “proper names for body parts, including male and female anatomy,” be familiar with “different kinds of family structures,” and be able to “describe differences and similarities in how boys and girls may be expected to act, and provide examples of how friends, family, media, society and culture influence ways in which boys and girls think they should act.”

3rd to 5th grade: Introduction to sexual orientation would begin in the 3rd – 5th grade, and by 5th grade, students are expected to be able to define sexual orientation as “the romantic attraction of an individual to someone of the same gender or a different gender.”

6th to 8th grade: curriculum calls for an explanation of the correct way to use a condom and an analysis of “external influences that have an impact on one’s attitudes about gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity.”


9th to 12th grade: the curriculum prescribes that students should be able to “differentiate between biological sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity and expression.” and for students to be able to “compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of abstinence and other contraceptive methods, including condoms,” and “explain how to access local STD and HIV testing and treatment services.”

I think if enough parents and teachers know about it and act, we can stop this program from being implemented. Do you really want you kindergartener to be familiar with “different kinds of family structures,”? or your 6th grader to know how to use a condom? How many teachers want to teach that to their students? This is America. This can be stopped!

Today, I am going to work hard to find ways this can be countered. I will post more about what YOU can do. But first, please let as many people as you can know about it. The more the word gets out, the more likely it will be stopped.

Another reason as many parents as possible should know about this is because if it is implemented, parents need to know that they will have to address these issues with their own children. You will have to talk to you kindergartener about different families and truth. You will have to teach your elementary kids that "gender is an essential characteristic of premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose," and you will have to speak even more openly about sex with your middle and high school students.  So please, pass this on.
