[QUOTE="A.Hinkle, post: 3909762, member: 50585"] I said nothing about "regardless of whether the parent approves". I said the default option should be opting in to the class because it will prevent kids, especially who may have disinterested or overworked parents, from falling through the cracks. It is most important that kids receive sex education; if a parent is tuned in enough to see what sex ed their kid is receiving and disagrees its perfectly fine for them to provide their own and it furthers the goal of kids receiving education on actions that can dictate the course of the rest of their lives. I'm amazed that you care enough to state your opinions online, scroll through the site, and to screen cap the video explaining the curriculum but not actually listen to that video about the curriculum. The slide you screen capped is about an activity to think about what life is like for the minority that experience life differently than most. You can litigate the morality elsewhere, but its an objective fact that people exist who are gay or consider themselves to not fit typical gender roles and asking high school students to spend 5 minutes imagining how their life would be different and harder if that was them *is not indoctrination*. As to your last question, certain STI's like hepatitis C and HIV are significantly more common in different communities that fit under the LGBT umbrella. I would argue that you are dropping the ball on your STI education if you don't address that different groups are at higher risk for certain STI's and should prioritize safety to an even higher degree. And unfortunately, due to a culture that sometimes treats pondering the existince of people who are different from them as 'indoctrination' teachers (and even the students themselves) often don't know who is at higher risk so the whole class gets to learn about it.
