5th biggest school district in US to teach 5YO's masturbation, homosexuality

The Clark County School Board in Las Vegas, Nevada, is seeking input from parents on a plan to change their sex eduation program.

The plan would introduce such controversial issues as masturbation and homosexuality to kids as young as 5 years old.

Considered changes include education of homosexuality as early as ages 5 through 8, and giving everyone "respect regardless of who they are attracted to." School children of that age range would also be taught that "touching and rubbing one's genitals to feel good is called masturbation." (Las Vegas Review Journal)

School officials began airing the curriculum at “closed-door” meetings of parents that were invitation only.

That didn’t sit well with the ones that weren’t invited and they showed up at the school board meeting to eviscerate the idea.

“You want to teach my 5-year-old how to masturbate?” said parent Julie Butler, according to the paper.

"We certainly should not be teaching five-year-olds that masturbation and pleasuring one's body is good and that a 12-year-old should know about the very details of anal and oral sex," another parent said, reports KTNV. (EAGnews.org)

Parents can choose to have their children removed from sex education completely.

The school board will address the issue during its meeting on Oct. 9. Parents are asked to attend and provide opinions.

You may also provide feedback by emailing the school district at sexedinput@interact.ccsd.net.

The school board will present their recommendations to the Nevada Legislature during the spring session. (Fox 5 Vegas)
