Showing Original Post only (View all)My daughter has just finished her abstinence-only sex ed at school [View all]
What a useless waste of tax dollars that was.
She said they never told her what she was supposed to abstain from. They're supposed to write down and submit questions, so she wrote down, "What should we be abstaining from" and the teacher just answered "risky behavior." No details.
I asked if they talked about sexually transmitted diseases and how to avoid them, and she said yes, they avoid them by abstaining from risky behavior. No details.
I asked if they told her what a condom is. She said, "What's a condom?"
So now my daughter knows what a condom is but the other kids in her school don't, after taking sex ed. They of course don't call it sex ed because that uses the word "sex." They call it "reproductive health."
She learned so much less than I learned in the late 70s.
