Melba Toast said...: lol, what couldn't be more necessary than sex education? Interestingly enough I was actually going to volunteer as a sex-ed facilitor for high school students. For some reason, I don't think showing an erupting ball of penis is going to do much, lol.

Speaking of which, what kind of sex-ed do Ohio-ians receive? I'm only guessing that those policies vary from state to state. I have a friend down in Corpus Christi who told me that sex-ed doesn't exist there :S. Pregnant 14/15/16 year olds are apparently a common sight.... then again, it's texas.; 9:13 AM
John said...: Well, I actually homeschooled. I was signed up for a class called "Human Sexuality" before I dropped outta highschool tho...long story.

I never did figure out what was going on in that class, 'cause no one would talk about it. But I do remember the "abstinence-only" sex ed is the kinda issue that keeps reoccurring. We're right on the edge of bible belt, so...

Long and short? I think they tell everyone sex is a perfectly natural and lovely thing, that will kill you unless you do it in wedlock, because condoms aren't safe.

It's sad, but there's a reason I'm not a huge fan of religion.; 6:34 AM
