ORIGINAL: LaTigresse IF the material was to be taught in an age appropriate (not morally but brain maturity and ability to understand) manner..........I certainly would have no problem with it. My kids were asking questions, and getting those questions answered correctly, by that age. I concur. We started learning about "sexuality" in kindergarten (I was 4, and this was 44 years ago!!!) by learning about farm animals, growing and hand-fertilizing plants (specifically corn, tomatoes, beans, and apples), and raising chicks. We learned what it takes to make a baby (a male an a female), the basic body parts involved in basic reproduction for plants, animals, and human beings, and we learned about how sometimes, even different species of animals can develop bonds of affection with one another that have nothing to do with being able to make babies by watching sheep and goats that shared "family space" and raised their families together... even nursing one another's babies!!! Hey... maybe that was the foundation of my beliefs on the potential capacity of human beings to love, regardless of gender, race, religion, etc.... Damned shame, that -- better not let anyone ELSE's kids learn anything like that.... Calla
