Sounds like a great idea;
Proposed Illinois law would require sex education programs to focus more on consent

Schools should teach about consent for sex

Agreed
I agree.
As an aside, they should focus more on the spelling of 'schools' as well.

you're a moderator, I would be happy if you corrected it!! Lousy one handed typist.
Why should a foot care specialist teach sex ed anyway?
And spell his name with two "o"s!!

I make spelling errors in my titles too.
But I correct them using thread tools.
You can too!
I'm mixed on the issue, being that I think the schools are a completely ill equipped to teach anything of this nature. Secondly, I just don't think it's nearly as a large of a problem as you'd think. Those who are truly creepy don't care about the morality, legal, or other considerations.
In the wash it's just this weird attempt to do the thing that fathers used to do -- teaching their male children how to treat ladies, and to some extent being a gentleman. The difference, of course, being that kids don't give a flying **** what the school has to say on those matters. Nice try though, but the real problem isn't this -- it's that 50% of the people in this state don't even have a male role model in their life to get that information from. So, to some extent, the real problem is that the liberal mindset of premarital sex and ideas cause the other problems. The impermanence of marriage, etc... The other stuff is just a secondary manifestation -- a problem that wouldn't even be so much a problem if the divorce rate and things of that nature were addressed. The rape or lack of consent problem doesn't occur barely at all, but the divorce rate affects half of the local population. The premarital sex isn't really a problem either if gentlemanly standards are applying, so I guess it's divorce rate that's the main issue. But, that doesn't fit the liberal divorce OK, premarital sex OK, etc., programming here in Illinois. I still think such a program is a waste of money, since it ignores the real issue.
Given the fact that, statistically speaking, the American Public School system contains more sexual abuse of children than the Catholic Church, I don't think it's the students who need to be taught about consent. We'd probably balk at the idea of having Catholic priests teach children about consent, that would be absurd. So why the heck would we trust these child-abusing teachers to do a good job teaching our kids about consent??
This is a terrible idea. An organization responsible for so much child sexual abuse has no place teaching children about consent. Seems like a recipe for a predatory teacher convincing one of their victims that they consented to their abuse to me. These are not the people to be trusted with lessons about consent. We don't need the warped views of "consent" held by child rapists to be the ones instructing the next generation on the nature of consent.

Not to mention mixing up plural and possessive.

I am baffled that this was not part of the program to begin with.
Out of curiosity,
Does this lesson plan include "Don't give someone the idea that you might consent unless you probably, or at least might under certain circumstances, consent?"
And if you might under those circumstances, make it clear what the circumstances are?

No debate from me. I think that's a good thing.

Maybe if they made an anti Prozac type drug to reduce sexual drive in males.
Nature's a very powerful force and sexual drive really is difficult for young males to reign in their 'excitement'. I think education should be expanded to focus on that and to find ways to help tone it down a bit so girls wouldn't have to endure those type of advances.
