The classes were "Hygeine", "Purity", "Forgiveness", and "Modesty". We had girls that were in 6th grade (these were focused on hygeine, menstruation, purity, and modesty) all the way to 12th. The older (high school) girls were spoken to a little more plainly.
All of the parents very specific knowledge as to what was being discussed. We also had a Christian recording artist give a concert, her message was purity.
The girls loved it and said that no one had ever talked to them about these things before so plainly, not parents, or youth pastors. This broke my heart.
Most of these "Christian kids" had learned about sex was from their friends and the world, other than --Don't do it-- which is what they were told by pastors and parents.
I have a real heart for teenagers, and I want to see them live holy, pure lives. But if the world is so plain spoken with their lies, we must counter with the Truth.
We told the girls to go home and talk about all of this with their parents, we got letters and phone calls from parents saying that this was the most their teen had ever communicated with them in some time... (no negative response whatsoever). Paul talked about it plainly, why shouldn't the church?
BTW there was no discussion of 'biblical positions'!

On another note, my son only went to public school for 2 years. In his last year, they were teaching a sex education class. it stated very specifically that parents could come in and reveiw the material. My husband went to the school and when he asked to reveiw it, he was told that he was the only parent EVER to ask to reveiw the material!!! CRAZY! After reveiwing it, we opted out, thank you very much!

That is the way it should be done. If this is how it was handled I think most would be satisfied. I am still just flabbergasted that they talked about such stuff to kids who were so young. He has been telling me some of the questions the kids asked and what the teachers had said and it was NOT things that should have been discussed. The teachers sound like perverts to me.
