FCPS FLE Opt out forms moved

[Anonymous]

So it'll be fine for sex positive households, then, and not so much for very religious households? I looked over the curriculum and it looks like until around 10th grade its abstinence only.

I wish FLE was more of an ethics program teaching best ways to act rather than how to deal with bad things in the world. How to act with integrity.

For me, one of my kids looks OK for the entire year and will not be opted out of anything.

The other 2, not so much, there's some age inappropriate things, and stuff that's not relevant (more relevant to certain cities and areas around Fairfax counties, so should be included, but not beneficial to everyone). Will opt out of these and not waste their time.

What age in appropriate things? Only in elementary here.

Your elementary kid will get STDs (I think fifth), graphic human trafficking (6th), incest (I think 2nd), a description of the mechanics of oral sex read by their gym teacher (I think 7th), group discussions of their sexual history/experiences/preferences (9th & 10th), a description of the mechanics of anal sex (HS), and more sex trafficking (MS).

There is a ton of time devoted to sex trafficking (not very relevant to the average fcps kid) and very little time spent on appropriate use of technology (things like not taking/sharing nude photos, not videotaping sex acts, not filming sex acts even with consent especially if participants are minors and even if they agree to filming-- all far more useful and relevant to the average fcps teen or preteen than sex trafficking). There is a part to the curriculum (I believe the high school section) that states kids need to be taught about sexuality in kindergarten.

Some of the things covered might be fine for your family. Some may not.

However, they revised the sex ed curriculum and it is not the same as it was a few years back (when it was very age appropriate and probably similar to what you assume an elementary curriculum would be like.)

It is really important that you as the parent review the curriculum online before letting your kid take part in it so you know what they are being taught.

You can no longer assume the school board has your kid's best interest in mind. It does not.

Please elaborate on the bolded discussions. FCPS doesn't actually expect kids to publicly share personal information about their preferences to teachers and classmates, right?

The fact that you mock the very idea that parents should educate and familiarize themselves about what their elementsry kids are being taught at school and then decide what falls into their comfort level and values says a lot about you, and none of it is positive.

No, I mock the idea that any self respecting, non-asshole would post on Fairfax Underground. If YOU think any parents are on FFU for the purpose of educating themselves, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

Fairfax underground can be crude but it sometimes has good information.

Holy crazy, batman. PP provided a link and stated that the same thread from here was cross posted to FFU. You sound like a very paranoid person - I assume you're probably OP.
