[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These aren't "secret" topics that shouldn't be discussed openly.

A lot of good points here. 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2018/10/19/why-we-shouldnt-be-separating-boys-girls-sex-ed/

[i]"“When we divide young people by gender, the implication there is that we’re somehow giving them different messages,” says Nicole Cushman, the executive director of Answer, a sex education program at Rutgers University. [b]“We kind of reinforce this cultural taboo about the subject, and we reinforce the idea that sex is not something to be discussed in ‘mixed company.’[/b]

“There’s definitely consensus in the field that it is a best practice, or that it is preferable, to speak to all genders at the same time.”"

"In the world-famous[b] Dutch model of K-12 comprehensive sexuality education, which teaches egalitarian social norms at every age in one of the most gender-equal societies on the globe[/b], in rare cases of religious objections, girls and boys may be separated for portions of their lessons."

"[b]By teaching students of all genders alongside one another about healthy sexuality and relationships, including consent, we hand them a set of social expectations to hold in common.[/b] The more students are aware of what their peers have been taught about how to treat others, the more they can hold one another accountable."

"[b]Clarifying and normalizing the changes of puberty [/b]can give girls [b]empathy[/b] for a wayward erection and empower boys to compassionately offer a sweatshirt to tie over a period stain." [/i]

And I can write an article with an expert opinion that says the exact opposite lol. There’s no actual research to back the above claims up. Also the Netherlands is very different than the US when it comes to the make up and size of their population. [/quote]

Go ahead and write that article, or a book to base it on, and we can all read it and form opinions.

Stupidity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. [/quote]

I don’t care to. My point was that the article that PP posted says nothing. All it is is some so called expert theorizing based on no evidence whatsoever. It’s funny how things change.[b] Before, the liberal and progressive position was to create safe spaces for women. Now it seems to have shifted. [/b]Liberals & progressives want everything to be coed and conservatives want everything segregated. [/quote]

How is it dangerous for girls and boys to learn about science side by side?[/quote]

If sex ed is separated by gender, where does a kid go who is non binary? [/quote]

I favor coed sex ed.  Especially in middle school.  The very small number of Trans and  Non-binary kids in APS should attend the version they identify with. [/quote]

why would there be multiple versions if it's co-ed? [/quote]
