Sex ed standards are implemented in conjunction and collaboration with Common Core.
From the article:
“…“National Sexuality Education Standards” is a federal set of standards geared towards a child’s involvement or interest in sexual activity that the child will be tested on…According to the standards this will start at age five.
These standards are not intended to be implemented as a core subject like English and Math. Basically, don’t expect to see a class such as “Sex Ed” that you can opt out of. They will be fed into every other aspect of Common Core.
On page 6 of the document you will find the following text,
Introduction and Background
“The National Sexuality Education Standards were further informed by the work of the CDC’s Health Education Curriculum Analysis Tool (HECAT)3; existing state and international education standards that include sexual health content; the Guidelines for Comprehensive Sexuality Education: Kindergarten – 12th Grade4; and the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics5, recently adopted by most states.”
Pay particular attention to the line that reads, “Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics5”
Why in the world would the “National Sexuality Education Standards” have to consult with the “Common Core Standards” in English and Math?
Answer: The Sexuality Education is being loaded into, between and around the Math and English curriculum.
… we know that schools are not going to put a bunch of 5 year old children into a Sex Ed class, at least not at first, so they are loading the current core curriculum with Sex Ed material.
To further support this claim, people on the career path of being an educator are having modules added to prep them on how to teach Sex Ed. Yes, you heard it correctly, Math and English college students that are looking to become educators are learning how to teach Sex Ed.”

I wonder if or where we can review these training materials to assess their suitability for youth
