Dear Powerful Parents,
The Sex Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) will be meeting on Thursday, October 20th to review and vote on the the addition of curriculum. Please review the additional material that is up for a vote on Thursday.
Historically, 5th grade health has focused on the maturation process, specifically about puberty for boys and girls. These lessons are significantly more expansive. Here is the proposed material.
Language matters. Teachers are encouraged to instruct children on using gender non-specific language, reducing girls and boys to "persons with a vulva" and "persons with a penis."
Agenda item 2.04: Grade 5 (9-10 years old) Understanding our Bodies identifies the clitoris and vulva and circumcised and uncircumcised penises. (see above graphics for 5th grade)
Agenda item 2.05: Grade 5 Body Parts worksheet Agenda item 2.07: 9th grade This lesson on STD prevention advertises a list of pregnancy and sexual health care providers in Las Vegas for "confidential" services including abortion. |
