Montana sex education proposal draws outrage

HELENA, Mont. — A proposed sex education curriculum in Montana is drawing outrage because it would teach young children about subjects such as gay sex.

Under the proposal for the Helena school district, kindergartners would be taught proper anatomical terms, first-graders would learn sexual relations could happen between two men or two women, and fifth-graders would learn the various ways people can have intercourse.

More than 300 people attended a school board meeting Tuesday and about 65 people commented on the proposed curriculum.

Supporters say the proposed health education curriculum contains honest, science-based information on wellness and allows students to make decisions that are better for themselves and the community.
