1. this is a rant
2. I believe that sex ed regaudless of age should be taught by the parents. I understand some parents are uncomfortable about talking about sex, most teens end up pregnant because the parents say no no no while the schools are saying just stay protected. In the end the teen rebels and does it. Also there are still teens that protect trying to be safe and end up pregnant.
I think if this is to taught at this age, for the state to encourage parents on way to talk to their kids rather then leaving it up to the schools to it.

what's going on here is great!
i wish someone had told me this junk when i was that age!
i wanted to know about this stuff!
mom and dad wouldn't tell me and at the time i only had dial-up internet!
being taught this at a young age really helps it sink in!

Frankly, I believe this issue to be the parents responsibility, unless there are tall tale signs that something is seriously wrong. In this case the parent or guardian of the child should be contacted. Depending on the situation, the proper authorities should then be notified. All in all this matter should be dealt with on a personal family level. Who are we to let schools play God in our children's lives like this. Nobody is going to tell my kid that it's normal to be gay or that masturbation is normal especially at age 5. This is why America has become a perverted nation and you can keep your humanistic propaganda to yourself thanks.
Why would you teach a five year old about HIV or aids unless somebody in the classroom has it?

"that it’s normal to touch one’s sex organs for pleasure"
"to seek privacy when touching one’s sex organs for pleasure"

These two stood out to me. Why does a 5-year-old need to know about masturbation...?

I'm not a prude or against sex ed, but feel that a 5-year-old wouldn't comprehend any of that. They are legitimately appropriate things to teach, but just at an older age (10-13).

At 5, the only thing kids should know about sex is places they shouldn't be touched and to alert an adult when being touched in those places. Anything beyond that can wait until they're old enough to have a basic comprehension of it.

Planned parenthood are the *last* people I want deciding what is 'age appropriate' for my child to learn about sex. The public schools aren't much above that. These are my kids. I know them better than anyone. They will learn all they need to know *from me* when they show an interest in knowing by answering their questions honestly at a level that *I* find appropriate to their age. That list... is insane.

ETA: Yes... and *if* my kids ask or show an interest in knowing *I* will put it in words they can understand. I will not let *someone else* that I do not trust to share my values and my understanding of my children *force feed* them info on all these topics before my children have even come to show an interest in them. There is no need to 'feed' them an interest in sexual information as a group because *planned parenthood* thinks it is time! They will come to ask in their own time. *Then* we will deal with it.
