Mandatory sex ed curriculum in NYC public schools includes porn, bestiality

The good news for parents of public school-age children in New York City is that their youngsters will no longer be learning about smut on the streets. The bad news is that they will be learning about it in school instead.
NBC New York reports that the new sex education curriculum, which will be mandatory for middle and high school students next spring, will provide a frank and comprehensive grounding in the birds and the bees that will be customized according to age group.
Middle school students will receive “risk cards” that rate the safety of different sexual activities, among them, the New York Post reports, “intercourse using a condom and an oil-based lubricant,” mutual masturbation, French kissing, oral sex, and anal sex.
High-school students get to go on field trips. These will include a visit to the neighborhood pharmacy, where they will compare and contrast condoms in terms of brand, price, and features such as lubrication. Others will research and map out a route from school to a clinic that provides birth control and STD tests. You just can’t tell when an emergency visit might be in the cards for your honor student.
While the city Department of Education hastens to point out that the curriculum “stresses that abstinence is the best way to avoid pregnancy and STD/HIV,” it will also feature a fair amount of role playing. One lesson focuses on just saying no, while another entails “negotiating condom use” with a partner.
Best of all, the Post writes:
Teens are referred to resources such as Columbia University’s Web site Go Ask Alice, which explores topics like “doggie-style” and other positions, “sadomasochistic sex play,” phone sex, oral sex with braces, fetishes, porn stars, vibrators and bestiality.
In case you were wondering, the classes will be coed. No word on whether students get to choose their homework partner and, if so, whether they will have a chance to specify cup size, length, and the like. In the meantime, think of the many rich opportunities for cross-disciplinary study afforded by the curriculum (“If Mary fakes two orgasms every hour and John has three real orgasms every two hours…”).

It’s a glorious city, but it’s like a mine field. You have to pick your way through life here very carefully.

What has happened to our world, and the country?
I understand the need for sex education…but this web site, and what it teaches. Does it truly need to go so far?
Why can’t we also teach that sex should be between those who love each other. Why can’t we teach it’s a sacred act between to loving, and consenting adults, and that any other way is immoral? Why are those values lost to the teachings?
I’m not talking about judging anyone, I’m just saying…the more we cheapen it, the worse it’s going to get.

Are they actually serious in making bestiality mainstream? Civilization is truly dead. That said, NYC is a great city if you’re young, single and/or rich.

Let’s see, you want to make your stand on the slippery slope after abdicating the ‘only in marriage’ position. Then you fail to understand that anyone calling anything immoral is by definition intolerant and thus a cardinal sin in the predominant religion. Your confusion makes you a useful idiot. Good luck with that outrage.

Public schools. You get what you pay for.

Sex ed ought to consist of “keep it in your pants” until you can afford to support whatever progeny you sire.

Gotta wonder how much of the grade is going to be based on “class participation”.

NYC schools – Math optional, How to rape animals – mandatory. That will make our kids competitive in the global job market for something.

certainly a field trip to occupywallstreet would provide children with the exactly the same information in only one trip.
