Re: The Plan
I don't know what this soul object beyond being a construct of the christian religion so I'll leave that bit.
I don't like the idea of an atheist teaching my child, whom I've raised to recognize his soul, that sex is perfectly fine as long as he wraps his dick in rubber.
I think sex ed should be left to the parents, except what would be taught in biology class(which is a lot), but most parents are scared to teach it...so, schools are unneccessarily left with the bill.
Now, I have to re-teach my kid, so he isn't negetively affected by what he's learned in school, and the problem is solved.

Re: The Plan
I'd feel unhappy about some christian filling my children's up with their nonsense.
Yup, thank god for keeping religion out of the public schools
seriously though
That's why in the UK we have a set currula that is strictly factual in nature
I have wondered about how and by whom curriculums are set up, and there was a thread about how scientist should decide whats taught in the science classroom, IIRC, and I thought but they might be bad teachers...
Anyways, thats OT but I couldn't really find anything on the internet about that subject, so if you know....

Re: The Plan
Parents are not always suited to be teaching the subject.
No teacher I've had is anything but another parent. To expect that they have some ability above any other parent is assumptive.
There is a wide range of knowledge available in the study of sex, from mechanical to spiritual to medical.
Yup, and there are multiple books/websites, or other learning sources, on any one of these aspects.
This is something that a ciriculum can teach.
OK, but without the teacher being something other than another parent, I don't see how the curiculum is any stronger than the one teaching it, so we can still leave it to the biological parent, who can look up, or come up with a curriculum on their own.
The curriculum, assuming it's from a public school, should have nothing to do with the spiritual knowledge of sex. The spiritual part (please note that I've wrote that the biological part of sex should be taught) isn't even recognized by science, so IMO, there is an entire aspect of sex that is being left out of public schools.
But it isn't up to me what is taught in public schools.
So.. as you said...
This is something that a ciriculum can teach.
Which I agree with on the biological level, but there is something else about sex that people recognize, and this is the aspect that I want to be left up to the parents.
