Kindergarten sex ed at Colorado district challenged over explicit content, letter says

By Samuel Short | Commentary, The Western Journal

A Colorado school board is proving once again that the left truly relishes in talking to young children about sex.

In a letter from the Alliance Defending Freedom to the Roaring Fork Schools Board of Education, Director Katherine L. Anderson of the Center for Parental Rights noted some truly disturbing and graphic imagery that children are seeing as part of the 3Rs curriculum, a comprehensive program to teach about sexuality.

The Rs in question refer to “Rights, Respect, Responsibility” according to the website of its creator, Advocates for Youth. The curriculum “seeks to address both the functional knowledge related to sexuality and the specific skills necessary to adopt healthy behaviors. Rights, Respect, Responsibility reflects the tenets of social learning theory, social cognitive theory and the social ecological model of prevention.”

Anderson specified what this looks like in practice. “In kindergarten, children learn to identify ‘at least three body parts of the female, namely the nipples, vulva and anus,’ along with identifying the “nipples, penis and anus” for the male anatomy. But this explicit language — foisted on young children without parental consent — is not all. The accompanying pictures are worth a thousand words.

That same kindergarten lesson includes a PowerPoint presentation called ‘Understanding Our Bodies.’”

The images in question are too graphic to show here.

Anderson further said, “Along with these graphic illustrations, the children learn that there are ‘some body parts that mostly just girls have and some body parts that mostly just boys have.’

Should sex ed be removed from school curricula?Yes No

“And teachers are expected to help their students figure out ‘how they like to be touched.’ That’s just kindergarten.”

We’re dealing with something truly evil, if this is what teachers are told to do.
