FOURTH-GRADE ORGY

• Not everyone is thrilled with the idea of mandatory g/l/b/t lessons for children in public schools. Focus on the Family's James Dobson observed at a recent meeting of National Religious Broadcasters that it might seem an odd priority when 42% of American boys cannot read by the time they reach Grade 4. Well, he has a point. Especially if the Grade 4 boys at Marble Falls Elementary School in Texas are anything to judge by. They seem to have been using time for reading to practise their own sort of g/l/b/t education. It was during free reading time when everyone in the classroom, including the teacher, was supposed to be reading, that five Fourth Graders retreated to beanbag chairs at the back of the class and used their coats to hide themselves while they performed oral sex on each other. A student told the teacher. The boys (all nine and 10 years old), according to a report in the Austin American-Statesman March 26, admitted to taking part in the sexual activity last fall and ag ain in February.

You could say there was a "lack of acceptance" for the children's sexual preferences. Authorities were notified. The Marble Falls police are investigating. The children were suspended for a day before the March break and placed in an "alternative" classroom when they returned to school. Some speculate one of the children must have been abused. Where else would they learn about such lewd behaviour? (Or perhaps a past-president of the United States had been lurking somewhere near Marble Falls Elementary School.)

A mother of one child said her son was threatened into the activity by others in the group. But officials with the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, which investigates allegations of child abuse, seems to have applied some of the NEA spirit towards the incident. The agency is not investigating, a spokeswoman said, "because it was child-on-child."

    Their views on sexuality education for elementary children were very apathetic and largely opposing, whereas, when asked about sexuality education in middle school and high school, they were more neutral and favorable to the idea. The audience has yet to be able to envision the significance of why sexuality education is so important in society today. To persuade the audience we will inform them about the prevalence of teen pregnancy and STIs, and how they can be prevented by simply giving youth and adults the proper education they need to make responsible decisions. The audience is so against sexuality education for elementary, we presume, because they are focused on the idea of it causing those young children to consider having intercourse. We believe that the audience is targeting an idea, and distorting it. Through audience analysis, we determined that the audience themselves have not undergone comprehensive sexuality education, or experienced any actual sexuality education. Their inexperience in this field is likely clouding their judgement, as they may not have investigated the subject further. We will acquaint them with the information that comprehensive sexuality education focuses on age appropriate material. Our delivery choices include fear and positive appeals, and a great use of ethos, logos and pathos. Statistical data inflicts a fear appeal, and assists in the extension of logos. To achieve pathos, we will bring up the audience’s possible children or younger siblings, and even a couple of accounts of people who had to deal with the consequences of not being sexually…

    Fake and gay. Most people would have the same sentiment about the primary and secondary school systems in America. While the argument against the public school system is often presented to the masses in segmented bits and pieces, John Taylor Gatto attacks the meat of the issue in his essay, “Against School.” A retired teacher of thirty years, he engages readers in a conversational dialogue and outlines the ways the educational system fails to address the age-old question: how do I reach these kids? It turns out that the solution is not to try to reach these kids, but to make these kids reach for the knowledge themselves. By differentiating between the definitions of…

    But young people face a barrage of confusing messages. Along with titillating images from the media, some kids are told to “just say no” to sex. In school, others are taught how to put condoms on bananas in preparation for the real thing, and still other children receive no information whatsoever.…

    For my final paper for American Culture class, I will explore the need to teach sex education in school, especially in high school. My paper will discuss both cultural and pedagogical sides of the topic. It is a reflection of the movie "The Education of Shelby Knox", which well illustrates how teen students' life is without having sex education in their school curriculum. Based on the content of the movie and the information I have read from many articles on the topic, I will show more of my understanding on this special aspect, sex education, of American education and culture.…

    Schools are the one institution in our society regularly attended by most young people-nearly 95% of all youth aged 5 to 17 years are enrolled in elementary or secondary schools (National Center for Education Statistics, 1993). Large percentage of youth attend schools for years before they encounter sexual risk-taking behaviors and a majority is enrolled at the time they initiate intercourse.…

    According to the article Carnal Knowledge: The Sex Ed Debate, A Florida mother named Jodi Hoffman sued the Broward County Public Schools, claiming that their sex education classes were too explicit. She believes that sex education should only be taught at home, never in schools, in order to teach children the values the parents want to instill in them. Also, she spoke of the religious aspect. The school’s program clashed with her family’s religious beliefs. Hoffman said waiting until marriage to have sex “is the way God intended it to be. That’s how it’s taught in the Bible and those rules were not written for no…

    Anomiic Suicide

    When one school district had decided that their policy of teaching homosexuality in sex-ed classes was imposturous, because it generated the idea homosexuality was okay. The school created a new policy in which bashed students whom were gay and those whom were perceived as being gay. Their policy “No Homo Promo” created hostility among the student body. It allowed for all bullying to be overlooked, ignored, and also reinforced the idea teachers could not teach certain subjects. According to the article, “teachers were not allowed to mention gays in any context” (Erdely, 2012). Ultimately, this policy led to nine students committing suicide because, they could not take societal pressure any longer. This group of adolescents wanted society to accept them as being normal individuals. Eventually, the school allowed an organization (referred to as GSA) to be created which, allowed for students whom were homosexual to have a place to go to feel safe. As stated in the article, “I joined the GSA cause I wanted to be just like her. I wanted to be nice and – loved” (Erdely,…

    When children are punished, chastised, or humiliated for their sexuality, they may associate sex with shame or guilt. Children need an environment where questions are received and responded to in a positive and loving manner. If not, their peers will become their educators regarding sex.…

    Pupils are exposed to pictures of diseases, become well-aware of STI symptoms, memorize statistics of unwanted pregnancies, and learn the demographics of them. The general structure of the course was heteronormative with gender roles attached. For example, we emphasize the male use of condoms encouraging their sexual activity without shame. But, women are rarely taught the specifics of birth control methods specifically for her sexual organs, potentially shaming females for having any form of sexuality. The general audience of classrooms are assumed to be predominantly heterosexual, so schools don’t entirely address the precautions and tactics for other sexualities, such as homosexuals. As a result, this magnifies the stigma around comprehensive sexual education, reproaching teen-aged girls and LGBTQ adolescents from engaging in safe sexual activity and mystified about their reproductive…

    As a student who has gone through the Texas education system since the 6th grade, I found a Sex-Ed class to be nothing but informing. Studies have shown that students who have gone through a abstinence class that includes accurate information over contraception, relationships, STD’s and societal pressures have delayed having sex. This is one piece of evidence in my mind that shows how important a class of this topic really can be. In addition, one of the most overlooked factors over a…

    Though sex education does exist in the United States, that which teaches anything other than the “abstinence – only – until – marriage” program deems zero government funding. The government funding for this program actually has grown exponentially since 1996 despite the insufficient scientific evidence that these programs work. The government has spent over an estimated $1.5 billion dollars of tax-payers money on these “abstinence-only” programs without any proven results. There are numerous flaws in the program including whom it involves, the way the information is taught and the validity of the facts. Not only does this program exclude the gay ad lesbian youth, but it also discounts those who have been sexually…
