"This is done because we are talking about historical perspectives of how gender relations and different types of sexual orientations have existed in history,” said BOUSD Assistant Superintendent of Curricula Kerrie Torres

No... it was never taught as "sexual orientation". It is taught as "deviate behaviors". it is breaking news.
What are you talking about? No where in the video you linked to, did I hear from the horse's mouth that it was being taught as a type of sexual orientation.
(I mean given the current specific scientific definition, I suppose one could argue it fits. Though again, doesn't magically erase informed consent as a specifically agreed upon concept. And the very obvious reason why they will remain illegal regardless.)
The lady literally said it was taught in a historical context, as a phenomenon that happened in historic societies. And that has been the norm in Western education for like the last 100 years!

I’m not convinced a casual statement from one individual definitively determines and entire organisations policy or practices.

No... it was never taught as "sexual orientation". It is taught as "deviate behaviors". it is breaking news.
Don’t you believe something could be defined as "sexual orientation” and "deviant behaviour"?

I’m not convinced it should be taught as either and would need to see evidence of the curriculum and materials to support any such assertions but I don’t see presenting paedophilia as a "sexual orientation" would automatically imply any kind of defence or acceptance.

The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

It's best to keep our foot on their throat then give them a chance to grasp the smallest amount of air.

I don't care about the peds.

I am only interested in protecting the children.

So the first amendment should be repealed?

No

They are free to express their opinions. Just as we are free to say "No, keep your dirty paws off our kids". Come near my kids and you will get to find out what rem oil taste like.

I have no forgiveness or mercy for pedophiles, but I do not see that this short video is providing evidence for their defense. It seems like a semantic argument rather than one of what is actually going on.

Deviant behaviors are an orientation. That does not imply defense of a deviant behaviors. How do you know that she was not trying to be polite in her phrasing. It seems like you are reading a lot into this choice of phrase. Is there some actual evidence that this curriculum is speaking in defense of pedophiles?

Whether this is true doesn't change what I said. If a grownup's dominant romantic and sexual interest is for children or animals that's a sexual orientation.
I do not know of any evidence that animals can consent to human sexual advances. I do not know of any evidence that indicates that children can knowledgeably consent to the sexual advances of an adult.

I would be curious to hear why you would question the truth of that.

A grownup with a predominant sexual interest in children has a sexual orientation. What else is it? A preference for animals is also an orientation. Whatever your preferred partner is that is your orientation. It doesn't matter what you think of it. Instead of demonising, perhaps we should humanise.
I do not see any reason that these cannot be described as orientations. Doing so does not defend the commission of an act.

Clearly, they should be treated as people, with rights, but the nature of the acts and the victims that such perpetrators prey on is particularly difficult to deal with objectively. I would not make a good judge of the sentencing for such criminal acts.

Depends on who you talk to. NAMBLA would disagree with your position and would defend it.

Maybe I am reading into it... but with what she said, which was clear, and SB 273 which says

SECTION 1.

Section 297.1 of the Family Code is amended to read:


297.1.
(a) A person under 18 years of age who, together with the person with whom he or she proposes to establish a domestic partnership, otherwise meets the requirements for a domestic partnership other than the requirement of being at least 18 years of age, may establish a domestic partnership upon obtaining a court order granting permission to the underage person or persons to establish a domestic partnership.
(b) (1) The court order and written consent of the parents of each person under 18 years of age or of one of the parents or the guardian of each person under 18 years of age, except as provided in paragraph (2), shall be filed with the clerk of the court, and a certified copy of the order shall be filed with the Secretary of State with the Declaration of Domestic Partnership.
(2) If it appears to the satisfaction of the court by application of a person under 18 years of age that the person requires a written consent to establish a domestic partnership and that the minor has no parent or guardian, or has no parent or guardian capable of consenting, the court may make an order consenting to establishing the domestic partnership. The order shall be filed with the clerk of the court and a certified copy of the order shall be filed with the Secretary of State with the Declaration of Domestic Partnership.

It basically doesn't give a bottom line of age... just under 18. So it certainly seems to follow the thought.

I disagree.
Then we disagree then. How is orientation insufficient in describing a particular state?

Yes. I think you have read way too much into it.

Pedophilia is not a sexual orientation for one and I don't know why this is even taken seriously.

Eh, I disagree. There is something inherently wrong ethnically and morally of finding sexual interest in children and acting upon it especially when children do not have the mental agency to consent let alone understand sexual intercourse. Pedophilia very much should be demonized.

Whether this is true doesn't change what I said. If a grownup's dominant romantic and sexual interest is for children or animals that's a sexual orientation.

Regardless, it is not the normative form of what we consider sexual orientation.

I just recently did a case where two young kids ages 3, and 4 were brought in to my emergency room to be examined. We found out that both kids had dried semen on their face, the mother admitted that their father is the culprit. I don't give a damn what orientation this individual is, this was uncalled for

I agree.. Its aberrant but it is "sexual orientation".

I'm more than happy to wear the moniker, pederastphobe. :)
Beats being a pederast enabler and defender.

And to be fair, it is California. People are moving from there and NY in great numbers now due to the whackadoo government that operates on the fringe.
This isn't a surprise.
The woman in the video who is confronted with the question about teaching pederasty failed in trying to clad this teaching in the context of historical perspectives on sexual identity and orientation.
So yes, it does appear that that pervert in the suit is hoping to teach that pedophilia is a sexual orientation. It is actually a disorientation that is prosecutable by law.

I just pray she doesn't have children.
