| Message | Well, it is. Those are just formal names for the courses. Sociology and SexEd in the early years just teaches children tolerance, respect and individuality through fun activities to help them explore and better understand the world around them. |

| Date | 19:10:54, June 29, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Democratic Alliance | To | Debating the Curriculum Act |
| Message | Well what do you propose? This because we currently do not actually have a curriculum. |

| Date | 22:27:47, June 29, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Curriculum Act |
| Message | hmm yes what you proposed is O.K. only sexual education sounds a little early... |
| Date | 04:17:20, June 30, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Democratic Alliance | To | Debating the Curriculum Act |
| Message | 11 years old is not really early. It is necessary to introduce this subject matter at an early age to avoid misunderstanding, immaturity and mistakes concerning the subject later on. It worked for me. Anyway, could you place your proposals in point form or hyphenated outline please? It is slightly compressed and hard to understand in the format you posted it in. Thank you. |

| Message | I think it should be earlier then 11 myself, how about 7 or 8? |

| Message | Sounds good. |
| Date | 01:43:48, July 04, 2005 CET | From | Social Libertarian party | To | Debating the Curriculum Act |
