Do I pee while she's still sitting on the toilet or do we take turns? Will flushing it together make a baby?

The old 8th grade sex education curriculum in Orange County, while promoting abstinence, acknowledged that some students are sexually active. It provided information on how to prevent unintended pregnancy and protect against STDs if students engaged in sexual activity. This information has been deleted from the new curriculum.

The old Orange County 8th grade curriculum also included information about the various kinds of birth control, their efficacy, and whether or not they helped reduce the risk of STDs. This information has also been removed.

In Orange County's new 8th grade curriculum, there are no descriptions of the different forms of birth control and no explanation of which forms of birth control are effective in preventing the transmission of STDs. This is a particularly important issue in Florida, which is currently "reporting more HIV diagnoses than almost any other state."

These are the kinds of changes you get when you have people developing curriculum without actually understanding any of the evidence, and just going off vibes.

"No sex = no pregnancy, surely the kids will understand and follow our instructions on this!"

"No sex = no need for birth control, so why tell them about it?"

It baffles me how stupid some members of our society can be.

I've hear about New Hampshire before, but where is this New Florida supposed to be?
