Seriously, what's the point? I know kids are growing up faster these days, but puberty still doesn't hit until around 13. That hasn't changed, and probably never will unless we start messing around in the human genome. Until then a condom is of no use to you, and will honestly probably be no use to most kids until 16 or 17. Information and education is all very well, but this is a step past the reasonable and into the ridiculous.
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

Wrong.Recent studies say that girls start puberty at around 10 years.

Also,Kindergarten indeed is too much,but from the age of 11-12-13 he should know about that.I don't see anything against the school giving free condoms to children,I mean,hell,at least its some sort of guarantee that there won't be a unwanted child.

Sexual education, okay, but giving away condoms?
It has been reported that some victims of rape, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not WAKE UP. In this catatonic state, the victim lived in a world just like their normal one, except they weren't being raped. The only way that they realized they needed to WAKE UP was a note they found in their fantasy world. It would tell them about their condition, and tell them to WAKE UP. Even then, it would often take months until they were ready to discard their fantasy world and PLEASE WAKE UP

Wrong. Just because people have condoms doesn't mean they'll use them, and there's always that 2% chance that the condom won't be effective.

Recent studies say that girls start puberty at around 10 years.

Citation please? And anyway, even if girls do start puberty at ten, that doesn't mean they're all going to turn into a bunch of sluts before they've left primary school.

Having sex =/= being a slut

Although, being a slut = having sex. Try wrapping your head around that paradox...

I thought we established that was pointless, and moved on to younger ages in general.

Trash. Teaching children that breeding is not optional and is inevitable is complete trash. I might work my way up in the public education system and make my kinder-gardeners learn how to use guns since we're on the subject of ideas that sound good but aren't.

Having sex =/= being a slut

A fine philosophy indeed. One is considered week for abiding to mortal desire, and breeding is no different.

It's not a paradox. It's the same as
cow is animal
animal is not necessarily cow

If all A are B, are all B therefore A?

That's a question for a 6-year-old. I'm'a guess we all got it right then, too.

This is good stuff. One of the reasons I love Revora. We are all making good points with no flaming. :)

Your first sentence implies that the modern education system will push forth any agenda they see fit, without regard for parents.

Second sentence is brilliant. Can you imagine the left-liberals GODZILLA media blitz that would happen if some state started a basic obvious requirement on a border that has "immigration issues."

Sometimes we have to find a more middle ground for ideas. On a positive note, he's makes some sense as a lot of you do.

That's the best point anyone has made in this discussion, and I kinda wish I'd said it. Children are always under immense pressure to grow up, from school, friends, sometimes parents. They reallly don't need anything more adding to that. Children should be allowed to grow up as and when they're ready for it, within reason. Maybe if we'd been allowed to be more childish when we were children we wouldn't all be so childish now we're adults. (I assume you're all roughly as childish as me for this. :))
