Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

The
legislature of the state of Idaho believes that the primary responsibility for
family life and sex education, including moral responsibility, rests upon the
home and the church and the schools can only complement and supplement those
standards which are established in the family. The decision as to whether or
not any program in family life and sex education is to be introduced in the
schools is a matter for determination at the local district level by the local
school board of duly selected representatives of the people of the community.
If such program is adopted, the legislature believes that:
a. Major emphasis in such a program should be to assist the home in
giving them the knowledge and appreciation of the important place the family
home holds in the social system of our culture, its place in the family and
the responsibility which will be there much later when they establish their
own families.
b. The program should supplement the work in the home and the church in
giving youth the scientific, physiological information for understanding sex
and its relation to the miracle of life, including knowledge of the power of
the sex drive and the necessity of controlling that drive by self-discipline.
c. The program should focus upon helping youth acquire a background of
ideals and standards and attitudes which will be of value to him now and later
when he chooses a mate and establishes his own family.
