Sexual Orientation Should Not Be Discussed in Elementary Schools | Colorado State University

The role elementary school teachers should play in sex education has become an increasingly important issue. The complexity of the topic was on display at the University of Colorado when four participants engaged the claim, “Sexual orientation should not be discussed in elementary schools.”

Issues of concern in this conversation include parental involvement, curriculum transparency, protecting the sexual naiveté of children, minors being educated about sexual abuse through sex education, and acknowledgment of gay people in society. An interesting point considered was whether sex education can have any influence on a child's sexual orientation.

This conversation took place on April 26, 2022 at Colorado State University Fort Collins.
