This shouldn't even be a question....the safety of the children is the primary interest so therefore YES. I can hear the echo from the conservative groups and some scholars: not in our schools, this should be taught at home. Too much rhetoric.
It's unfortunate that the ONLY time a safety law against children is implemented is when they are kidnapped, raped, and murdered. Teaching students about sexual predators will be a challenge but it has to be done.
Sadly, it's not going to prevent it from happening because you can't keep tabs on what goes on behind closed doors, if there are sexual predators at home. But at least it will give him/her a clue that it is wrong no matter what daddy, uncle john, and or the clean cut mailman says. Disturbing but true. Kids are resilient and smart, besides it's better to be safe than sorry. Would have, could have, should have, is not something you want to say to yourself should your child become a victim.

The problem with conservative groups is they seem to forget everyone doesn't do such a great job of raising their kids. If everyone was as super-religious and geared toward child raising as say most Mormon parents for instance we'd have alot fewer problems but they aren't. We can't even get some parents to feed and cloth their kids. Look at all the kids who enter kindergarten and cant add 1+1 or spell. The parent don't care.

It isn't the schools that are failing its the parents.

Considering that overall our schools are failing in what they are supposed to do, which is teach our kids how to read, write and balance a checkbook, they might as well give it a try.
Seriously, I oppose such a move. Schools don't have the time or money to do what they are supposed to do, let alone something parents are supposed to do. The fact that some parents are doing a lousy job at it is not an automatic mandate that the government do it for them.

to a certain degree that is......
the teaching re safety I feel is one to be done by the parent(s), or caregiver, but yes a school should also enforce it as they do everything else, dare, etc.

Most conservatives DO realize that not everyonoe is doing a good job.

However, if this were taught in school what would be included. Who would decide what to tell our children and what not to. And what grade level are we talking about, and when a fourth grader asks what rape is, how to respond? What about when a little boy wants to know what sodomy is?

Absolutely it should not be taught in schools. Stranger awareness yes, pedophile information? Heck no.

And considering that most are victims by virtue of family and/or step parents, how exactly would you teach against that?

And no, I'm not republican, I'm indpendent.
