PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Should public schools, starting from junior high on, teach sex education for homosexual intercourse as well as heterosexual?Realistically, the state of sex education svcks, in part because any time someone makes a concerted effort to get the information across in a professional way, fifty thousand outraged parents immediately rip them to shreds. (They may actually be outraged that they never got solid data. The world will never know.) But the state of gay sex education? Is even worse. Most gay teens get the majority of their (mis)information by word of mouth. (Other use the Internet. If they stumble across the wrong site, that can be much, much worse. Have you ever seen urban sex myths?) If they're lucky enough to live in a district with a sex education class that's managed to retain enough of a textbook to get the major points across, then they're basically stuck with Cuniform Translation 603: it may be nice to know, but you're never going to have a practical application for it in your own life. If we're serious about protecting teens from STDs and we're willing to admit abstinence is not going to become a 100% adopted solution, someone has to give people good information somewhere. This is not playing an outing game of 'let's show everyone who the gay students are in their school': we're not asking the class to have volunteers stay behind for a special post-bell curriculum. One day, we cover heterosexual intercourse, the next, homosexual (male and female, thanks for asking), and everyone takes notes both days because it'll be on the test. I'm aware that parents will freak out. Guess what? They freaked out about education on heterosexual intercourse. They're still freaking out. Think of this new move as just maintaining the status quo. So. For or against? Somewhere around my fortieth hour awake is when I stop caring about the moral fabric of society.

Not only that, theirs are fifty times more fun than yours. Obviously your sex education class was short a few textbooks.

No. His idea of dancing dirty may involve more clothes than mine.

This has caught my eye -- if I get my wish I'll be teaching 7th & 8th grade Science next year. For the 7th grade, the first semester is Life Science, while the Spring is Health.And Sex Ed is in the Health curriculum. Of course, I could relive my very first day of teaching -- as a substitute -- back on January 19, 1993 (I like to tell the kids that George Bush was President when I started teaching...) (I've told the story before, but wtf...) I had done all of my teacher training for Elementary level. My Student Teaching assignments were for 4th grade and Kindergarten. I was hired as a sub in the same district, and it was only a couple of days wait. The call comes early in the morning, but it's for the Middle School -- of course, I'm not going to turn down my very first assignment, so off I go. I get to the office, and find out that the assignment is 7th grade Health. OK I get to the room, and on the teacher's desk is the day's assignment -- a stack of worksheets with the note "have them read this and answer the questions". OK I look at the worksheets and notice some 'peculiar' illustations. The I notice the title. The Female Reproductive System Two weeks earlier I was concerned with counting to 100, remembering that Wednesday follows Tuesday, and asking kids "did you flush?" Now, the details of peach plumbing. Yikes. So, I know one day that will be a "mental health day" (revenge -- even if it's not quite aimed to the right party -- can be cool)
