Chances are that Friends Central's curriculum is way, way less creepy than the article implies. And if your kids are little, obviously much of what the article described is of course not age-appropriate for them. I understand why you would have that gut reaction.

But by the time your kids are teenagers, it really is best for them to get an accurate understanding of how their body works, and how the bodies of the opposite sex work - not necessairily in the detail the article implies, but the basic topics should be covered.

Even if your kids opt not to be sexually active until marriage, perhaps some years after high school, they still need to know the basics as teens. And learning the basics in high school will prepare them for later in life when they do become sexually active.

The parents at Friends Central are paying $43,900 a year for their high schoolers to attend. If they don't like the sex ed curriculum, they can opt their kids out. Or they can withdraw their kids and have them attend any one of the many private schools in the Main Line area where Friends Central is located, or they can choose to home educate their kids, or hire a private tutor to educate them, or enroll them in one of the many public cyber-charter schools in Pennsylvania, or they can enroll them in the local public school (and save $43,900 a year!)

Private schools can only survive when they are very responsive to the concerns of parents. At $43,900 a year, they know the parents can take their money elsewhere. If the curriculum is out of line, or actually creepy, you can bet that the parents will let the admin know and the admin will take appropriate steps to keep the parents happy.
