    I am in favour of sex education at school in a neutral manner in regards to reproduction, and how diseases can be transmitted by sex..

    In regards to sexual preference that gets more tricky. Some parents for religious reasons are anti-gay, some like me are pro-gay but feel it has to be taught at an appropriate age as part of an overall lesson on being tolerant and respectful of people.

    I can't speak for anyone else. Me personally I think its way too early in kindergarten or grade 1.

    I think it should be left until the age when children become close to puberty.

    Look I appreciate homosexuality is something kids hear about at school younger and younger. I appreciate some believe since they are hearing it younger and younger they should hear about it in a positive not negative way.

    I just truthfully think its gone too far down to kindergarten.

    The problem is some parents will discuss it with children at that age, others will not.

    How you come up with a policy that is sensitive to age appropriate learning is the issue.

    Me personally I would like to think children should have some period of development without having such concepts thrust on them. Its as if we don't honour their right to be ignorant of certain things, and when I say ignorant I mean that in a positive way because that ignorance is also innocence.

    The analogy is do you really need to tell a 5 year old Santa could be a pedophile and not to sit on his knee, etc.?

    That's my answer because I am very pro education about sex but I just think it has to be age appropriate so I am not sure about this one.
