This document discusses concerns about sexual indoctrination in public schools. It notes that sexuality education programs are introducing topics like gender ideology, homosexuality, and transgenderism to young students as early as pre-kindergarten. It argues these programs prioritize sexual rights over parental rights and values. The document provides examples of lesson plans from the "3R's" sex education curriculum that introduce sensitive topics even to very young children. It questions the appropriateness of some library books and school events. Overall, the document aims to inform parents of what is being taught so they can make informed choices for their children.

Sex education polices are not always the same but are sometimes directed by ethnicity and race.As Rubin says that “The realm of sexuality also has its own internal policies, inequalities, and modes of oppression.” (Rubin, 1993,p100)In out daily lives, most of white youth receive enough sex education curricula. But for Latin girls, their culture and identities also influence their experience In learning about sex, love and romance. In the book “Respect Yourself, Protect Yourself” by Lorena Garcia, it shows that lightly more than half of the Latin girls learn very little about sex. What they receive is called abstinence-only education, which does not teach about contraception or abortion. No matter which kind of education of sex Latin girls receive, they are restricted for their engagement with sex education since they are too young to learn these under Latin society. Latin girls are sometimes offered with self contradictory lessons, which create uncertainty to students that how should they recognize those information about sex. For example, one girl called Ines said that “they tell you all about safe, but turn around and tell you, ‘ but you really don’t need to know this...’”(Garcia, 2012,p61) Colored teenagers are considered “as always ‘at risk’ and source of danger” since their lack of proper sex education by Garcia. (Garcia, 2012,p58) With such different acknolowdgement toward sex and love, gender and sexual inequalities are consequently created.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Sexuality is our entire selves, influences us in every way, and encompasses
everything. There are many ways to express sexuality and each is equal.
3
Children have the right to question their parent’s ideas about sex, to explore
their own sexuality through experimentation and to develop their own values.

…and parents have the duty to support them in their quest, without judgment.

Examples:
Various role plays promote teen sex. For example,
“Andrea and Diana are two girls who just met last
weekend at a party. They had fun together, and now
they’ve hooked up again this weekend. They’re alone in
Andrea’s basement. Plan a role-play in which Diana asks
Andrea about having sex and they make a decision.” (For
ages 14 and up, High school book, pg. 30)
“With oral sex, the person performing oral sex is at higher
risk because their mouth is coming into contact with the
other person’s genitals. People can reduce their STI risk
further by using flavored condoms or other barriers like
dental dams.”

Sexual Risk ReductionSexual Risk Avoidance
SRAAbstinence SRR “Comprehensive”
Emphasis on
Abstinence
Devote more than 50% of page content to promoting
abstinence
Devote less than 5% of their page content to SRA.
Allocate six times more content to the goal of promoting
contraception than to the goal of promoting abstinence.
Focus Risk elimination. (abstinence) Risk reduction. (contraceptive use, especially condoms)
Message Focused. (Abstinence until marriage is clearly the BEST
choice.)
Mixed. (EITHER abstinence OR having sex with a condom
are equally good choices; or, abstinence is marginally better
than having sex with contraception.)
Philosophy a) Teen sex and/or casual sex is problematic, even if
contraception is used, based on risk of STDs, pregnancy,
and negative emotional consequences
a) As long as contraception is used, teen sex and/or casual sex
is unproblematic. There are no potential negative emotional
consequences.
b) Armed with full information about the risks of teen sex
and the benefits of abstinence, teens CAN and DO choose
to refrain from having sex. (The majority of teens today –
53% - have not had sex.)
b) Teen sex is expected, inevitable, and a natural part of
healthy sexual development.
Behavioral
Goal
Delayed sexual initiation, preferably until marriage, or
“renewed abstinence” for the student already sexually
experienced.
Increased contraceptive use, especially condom.
