Education Codes

There are many who claimed that there is nothing in the CA education code about teaching marriage, and here is my response.

"I'm sure most of you, myself included, appreciate real, factual sources rather than, "I heard it from Auntie Mae's neighbor's cousin..." or better yet, sources that aren't for or against the issue. (It would be easier for me if there were more of those resources on McCain & Obama...but that's another topic.) Here is the exact text from the education codes that are being referred to with the OFFICIAL source so you can see them yourself.

Section 51933 (a) 'School districts may provide comprehensive sexual health education, consisting of age-appropriate instruction, in any kindergarten to grade 12, inclusive, using instructors trained in the appropriate courses.'

So sexual health education is taught to all; appropriate to their age group. Here is the code DEFINING health education; (in addition to maintaining reproductive health, preventing diseases & unwanted pregnancy):

51930 (a) 2.) 'To encourage a pupil to develop healthy attitudes concerning adolescent growth and development, body image, gender roles, sexual orientation, dating, marriage, and family.'

So, sexual orientation, gender roles, marriage, and family are included in the state code on health education for ALL ages."
