The sex education class that got out of hand: A storm in a middle school in Or Akiva over a sex education class held yesterday (Tuesday) for seventh graders by an external body to the school. The students were asked "What do boys want?" and "What do girls want?" The answers were written on the classroom board, most of which were blunt and shocking.
The boys' column says, among other things, that boys want girls to perform oral sex on them, control women, prostitutes and: "girls with bikinis", "girls with huge asses", "girls with bodies" and more. In the girls' column it is written that they want a large penis, and also: "full of money", "jewelry", "sugar daddy" and more.
Some of the students felt terrible because of the degrading expressions. The mother of one of the students told an Israel Hayom reporter: "I received a call from my daughter in the middle of the day. She was horrified. She felt exposed and disturbed. She couldn't believe what she heard and saw. Get 12-year-olds to look at the opposite sex as a sexual object. This is not sex education. Instead of talking about how wrong it is, they legitimized it and wrote it big on the blackboard."
The mother added: "They were taught together, boys and girls, how to masturbate. We as adults are uncomfortable talking about it so imagine 12-year-olds. Some of the students wanted to go outside and were not agreed. It's not sex education, it's sexology and it's harassment in every respect. I have no way of explaining how shocked I am. I hope that the Education Ministry will quickly change this horrific plan. We will make sure that anyone who feels they have been harassed receives psychological treatment at the expense of the Ministry of Education. We will not give up."

Social activist Shiko Hajaj said: "We need to check whether lines have not been crossed here at the criminal level. These external bodies that enter schools must have a rigorous and deep screening system. This progress and education that everything is allowed and everything is talked about will cause damage to these students."
The Education Ministry said in response to the publication: "This is a very serious case. The Minister of Education ordered the immediate halt of all "Gefen programs" of the supplier, in addition to holding a hearing as soon as possible. An in-depth investigation and investigation was conducted at the district and headquarters level and how instructors arrived at such forbidden discourse."
"The district treats the school children with the help of the overall supervision and the psychological-counseling service, which held a dialogue in the classrooms with the students who attended the meeting. In addition, the Authority's Educational Psychological Service also invites parents interested in dialogue on the subject to be in contact with it. The Ministry will refresh to the principals of educational institutions the guidelines in the Director General's circular on the integration of external educational programs so that such incidents will not recur in the future. All failures in the case will be investigated and corrected."
