Mississippi, a red state, tossed s x education in schools

They are dealing with a rampart std epidemic called congenital syphilis. Since removing education they have seen a 1000% of cases.

Basically we're a petri dish thanks to repubs... the rise of measles, stds, tuberculosis lololol

Ah repubs thanks for this, sarcastically of course 🙏

In Scandinavian countries where I've participated in numerous student exchange programs since my adolescent days while being of that same culture myself, sex education in school curriculums in every Scandinavian country begins in grade one. This entry level brings understanding of how and why bees pollinate flowers, etc.

Where one's sex education terminates is at high school graduation, after having spent 4 years learning how the human species evolves over time, how condoms prevented most of it, while using pictures to speak a thousand words for those who don't understand the concept of 'sport sex' with consequences.

Sex ed is a compulsory subject in all Scandinavian high schools, the high priority for this being the educated prevention of teen pregnancies, versus the uneducated version of getting pregnant at 13 and being told by your government that you'll go straight to hell if you get an abortion.

So the child is raised in western culture by the girl's western-educated parents as the baby's young mom gets ready to start her first year of high school, thankful at last that she won't have to buy crayons and bottles of glue anymore!

The sex ed curriculum across North America and Great Britain is abysmal at best, but now to hear that some self-inspired, back-woods place like Mississippi is removing sex ed completely from it's school curriculum is one step closer to America turning itself into the Land of Hillbillies, where everyone has a white picket fence around their mobile home and a pickup truck parked in the driveway while using borrowed money to live rich and 'have it all'!

Alas, the American Dream comes true!

I was pointing out a small number of instances where unfortunately the conservative doctrine of "consumer choice" frustrates social harmony and progress.

...and in so doing, you made it clear that a small number of right-wing fanatics can easily carry enough sway in your culture to disrupt the status quo of a firmly establish liberal doctrine of sex education for everyone. That would tell me that either the Conservatives are very strong in your culture or the liberals are very weak, no different than the trending political culture in the USA. 🌊🐎

@swirlie I think you have lost track of the original point.

Actually, I think you've lost track of what I was saying in my original post. Either give up now or review everything previously written and start over with a new perspective on sex education.

Trump did not cause the Deep South. It's the other way around.

In 2011, Mississippi mandated that public schools implement either "abstinence-only" or "abstinence-plus" sex education. Students are separated by gender and birth control education is prohibited.

For me sex ed started in 6th grade. We learned about STDs, contraceptives, pregnancy, masturbation, wet dreams, how it's nothing to be ashamed of, and most importantly why we have sex. Hint: because it feels good.

@Northwest Fried gator or free Iguanas anyone?

I'm sure some youth minister, scout leader or weird uncle will teach them everything they need to know.

Sex education also teaches children to understand be aware when someone is acting inappropriately with them or around.

The bunch in charge of our nation abhor knowledge and education.
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@MoveAlong I think they abhor education is because they're the ones acting inappropriately to children

how is this the republicans fault?
specman · 51-55, MVIP
@LordShadowfire I also want to say schools should also have sex education and kids whose parents don’t want them to take it their kids won’t take it. I really think that option should be there
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@specman I understand what you're saying, but we're seeing the practical, real world results of the state of Mississippi leaving it up to the parents. Now, it's easy to say that the parents should have done a better job of parenting, and I don't disagree. But the problem with that is that so many parents just don't know how to begin explaining to their precious innocent babies that they brought into this world how reproduction works. It goes against the grain, so to speak. So they put it off, because it's not comfortable. It's not meant to be comfortable. So what you end up with is kids learning on the playground from other kids, or from the internet, or as a worst case scenario, some perverted relative or family friend who wants to take advantage of their innocence.

That is why I say that even though it seems like I'm giving parents a pass on their one job, the people with the professional teaching certificates should be doing it.

Now, if, as you say, they offer an option of homeschooling children on that subject, they should give parents teaching guides to use to make it less awkward.
specman · 51-55, MVIP
@LordShadowfire it was a little awkward not too bad for me, but I have boys. My exwife would have done it if we had girls. I could see how it would be awkward for a single parent with a different sex kid . You are correct!

a significant part of the problem is that there is nothing to do in Mississippi other than each other

It's like the Chinese village that decided the birds are too much of the crop do they killed them all...
Then starved as the insects took over and ate everything
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@Convivial Yes exactly, I've seen that happen many times. People have no education on how the ecosystem is so delicate.
Convivial · 26-30, F
@SatanBurger it's the law of unintended consequences... It always bites the foolhardy..
Longpatrol · 31-35, M
Because they think God will save the worthy. Anybody who doesn't survive was sent to hell for being sinners according to their logic.


No love like Republiban love

MAGA is more about cultural and political identification than any policy goal or health objective.
markinkansas · 61-69, M
no problem they will just home school.. satire
@markinkansas Its Mississippi. In home school there the students always has sex with their teacher.
Yet, in some countries in Europe, sex education is a bi weekly class that goes for two years.
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@OogieBoogie Basically. They removed it from the school curriculum, turns out abstinence doesn't work lol
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@SatanBurger I say we call conservatism a disease.
Khenpal1 · M
@SatanBurger I remember polio
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
No foolin'? They got rid of the part of the educational curriculum that would have prevented STDs and now they're having an epidemic? Really? Gosh, who'd have thunk it?
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@SatanBurger I will guarantee the type of people who think that nonsense works have never had teenagers. Or if they have, they don't understand them in the slightest still somehow.

@MarmeeMarch a lot of parents don't know the basics of sex education either or were kids themselves when they had their children. If parents are religious or they just don't feel comfortable, a teacher who is educated knows better. A lot of people don't like to talk to their kids about that

Kids have no need of sex in neuterville, where they live.
Porn is enough.
