Sex Education to Sexuality Education
*
*“Sex education” is being referred to as “sexuality education” which can include teaching sexual orientation and controversial forms of sexual expression.
Sex is an act; sexuality encompasses more than just the physical joining. Both terms were introduced into the language by Alfred Kinsey (call me if you don’t know about him). Sex education implies that kids will be given an instruction manual. Sexuality education can teach sexual orientation, contraception methods, puberty, and so much more. For most people though, sexuality is a positive word that encompasses love, relationships and intimacy. Many parents do not want their children to receive sex education, but are hoodwinked into supporting “sexuality training” that teaches that expression of sexuality is okay. We can not use “sexuality” until people understand the negative images, lessons and lifestyles that sexuality education teaches.
