John,

WTF do you not understand about "age appropriate"?

I do, but it is a judgement call. I don't trust the judgement of the public school administrators.

>> WTF do you not understand about "age appropriate"?

What I do understand is that it provides wide discretion for implementers.

More importantly, there is no "age appropriate" discussion of HIV for K, 1, 2 graders. None at all. It is not an appropriate subject for discussing with them, period, end of story -- certainly not in a school.

There is no age appropriate discussion of sexual conduct at all at this age, unless parents choose to have that discussion.

You can't just write a bill like that and throw in, "Oh, yeah, we want it to be 'age appropriate'" in order to get you off the hook with parents. This is language that is used to get extremist liberal law on the books without the constituency having a clue what is going on.
