TAMPA, Fla. - A new sex education curriculum is getting some pushback from Hillsborough County parents. A petition with thousands of signatures opposing the curriculum prompted a school district special hearing.
The new curriculum that was approved back in September drew in dozens of parents and activists for the special hearing. More than 40 speakers spent hours Thursday voicing their objections.
"The curriculum is morally reprehensible and unnecessarily graphic," said one speaker at the hearing.
There have been concerns about instruction on everything from contraception to gender identity.
The district said the curriculum meets state standards, and the sex education lessons cover 7th, 8th and 9th grades. They said the curriculum does emphasize abstinence to prevent pregnancy and disease, and it was reviewed by community members and attorneys.
Parents and community members on both sides of a debate about sex education in Hillsborough County Schools will have the chance to be heard during a meeting Thursday.
The hearing was in front of an impartial hearing-master who will make recommendations based on what was heard at the meeting. Once a recommendation is given to the school board, they could vote to alter the lesson plans or keep them the way they are.
Parents do have an opt-out option within the district, but another concern some parents had was that the form is too vague about reasons they might want to kep their kids out of the classes.
The district's attorney also spoke at the hearing, pushing back against many accusations made by parents.
"So 91% of the students who took the test, felt it was age appropriate for them? That’s correct," attorney Jeff Gibson said.
The recommendations are expected to be ready in about two to three weeks. Once the material is given to the school board, they should take a vote at the next available hearing, likely in mid-December before Winter Break.

Sex education can be intimidating. Yet, God created sex. Find more ways to teach healthy sexuality to your children.
Click on the image to preview the dynamic new video-based program created by youth and parenting experts from Focus on the Family for help with sex education and so much more.
Over the years one of the most frequent questions parents ask me is when to begin sex education in the home. It isn’t a surprise that wise parents want fail-proof advice for such sensitive topics. Specializing in the treatment of sexual issues, I’ve seen the pain associated with misinformation and sexual sin, and I believe the topic of sexuality is second only to teaching our children about God. That is why it is important to start sex education early.
Parents often wonder “how long can I put it off” talking about sex. By the close of this article I hope you will be eager to get started. Human sexuality is the most natural thing in the world – and the most sacred experience that a husband and wife can share.
Here is a quick sketch of what I hope to convey to you:
The more I learn of God, the more I appreciate the book of Genesis. Here a solid foundation of God’s design for sexuality is presented as our children learn about the Garden of Eden and how God created both male and female and told them to reproduce themselves (Genesis 1:27-28.)
As parents, we begin sex education by pointing out how God thought of sex in the first place. He created a man and woman who could participate in his ongoing creation and make babies by loving each other in a special way. God also knew that a man and a woman would grow to desire a special companionship that includes enjoying the differences in each other’s bodies. And, although this final point may need to wait until children are able to grasp it, we can teach that God gave the unity found in marital relationship as a sign and symbol of the internal love of the Trinity and His love for us.
So, sexuality provides at least three basic lessons that our children can understand. Sexual union exists: (1) to make babies, (2) to nurture a mommy and daddy’s love, and (3) to point us back to the love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
This initial lesson can be unpacked further as our children mature. We can teach, for example, that sex is appealing and that it’s perfectly normal – especially for teenagers and adults – to want to be sexual with someone of the opposite sex. We should emphasize that God is the One who made us to desire healthy expressions of what it is to be male or female, and that “there is a time for everything.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1.) This emphasis on timing begins with an affirmation of developmental maturity and sexual desire, and teaches a child that when the time is right, sex will be right.
We’ll want to teach a clear message about timing. The right time for sexual behaviors occurs when a man and woman are married. Our younger children only need to hear that God designed sex or sexual intercourse for husbands and wives. As our children mature they will need to learn that all sexual behaviors are more or less foreplay, leading to the act of intercourse, and that these behaviors are also designed for marriage.
We can also point to various cultural messages about sexuality and develop teachable moments. For example, we can’t shelter our children from every lewd poster in the mall or every sensual song played in a restaurant. But we can take these moments to affirm the basic goodness of sexuality because of God’s loving design, and then make a comment about what’s wrong with how sexuality is misrepresented in the culture. These brief messages will be more impactful when offered in a positive and relational manner. Our messages need to be tied to God’s love for us, and how we express our love for Him through obedience.
Children need to learn early that God’s plan is healthy and Satan’s plan is harmful . In the early years we can talk rather simply of what is good and bad . We want to teach them what to think about sex from the Bible and not just from our personal opinion or experiences . As they mature we shift our approach and begin to teach them how to think
Much of sex education – even within faith-based communities – misses a foundational point. Sex between a husband and wife symbolizes the future marriage between Christ and the Church. And as Christians we are “engaged” to Christ (along with the rest of the Ch
