One more question : for all those who don't think a school should explain breast feeding how do you feel about health classes that talk in depth about the menstrual cycle, illegal drugs, birth control and sexually transmitted diseases ? Those are certainly controversial topics and schools talk about them. A big problem in this society is ignorance and misinformation about "taboo" topics. Maybe it would be better for us all if things were more openly discussed. Before everyone jumps on me, I am not suggesting we teach 4 year olds about sex, BUT I think open, honest communication about factual,scientific subjects is a good thing.

Parents sign a permission slip before their HS kids attend health classes discussing those topics

. Really ? Not in my district nor did my parents sign anything when I was growing up. Perhaps it depends on the school district.

When I was growing up, our parents were TOLD we were having sex ed, not asked.. told. You could I guess keep them out if you wanted to, but no one wanted to be excluded and look like a prude.

Seriously sex ed was a joke. THIS is a penis.. this is a vagina. This is child birth, this is a rubber. Ok you skipped the fun part there teacher! We've all had our own body parts for a long time. All the girls here have had our periods we know what it is and why, and the boys here have probably whacked off plenty before this class even started. It was useless. We used to write on the board "Insert piece P into slot V and repeat" before class started.. all of us.. so the handwriting would change. it boiled down to ... talk to your parents.

Breast feeding is an adult argument - not a kid argument - and I am sorry - in a diverse setting with various belief systems, it is just not the place to present that issue.

it shouldn't be an ARGUMENT, period.

Kids pretending to breastfeed at school

I am not a parent however I have to chime in.

I saw this post as what might be appropriate for a 4 year old in a classroom.

Its not about bashing breast feeding,
Or
saying breast feeding is wrong
Or
Teaching your young kids about BF is wrong.

Its about how, in THIS current culture, how many people don't think kids seeing things like this is appropriate.

I personally would not care if MY child came home and said "mommy, lisa was doing "this" at school. What is "this".

I think the teacher did 100% the correct thing because too many people would be uncomfortable having their kid see it.

The teacher was appropriate because she knew too many parents would be uncomfortable with it.

And because current culture in the US dictates that "my" child just should not see "that".

I don't see one person bashing breasts. Nor do I see anyone who commented saying BF is bad.

Its that a 4 year old should not be doing that in class because YOU are uncomfortable with YOUR child seeing it.

And that's not a bad thing.

I also think we can ALL agree that a 4 year old doing this over or under the shirt is about a natural thing. Not showing her... (tits, boobs nipples)...its about a natural thing that mommy is doing, not a sexual thing.

EVEN if she lifted up her shirt it was NOT sexual.

EVEN if people are uncomfortable with it its still not SEXUAL.
