[quote=Anonymous]yes, they teach stuff I felt was concerning but not in the way you think. They use a video from Christian Scientists (although kids don’t know the source) that shows clips of young people discussing the impact of their substance abuse. One girl talked about how, if she hadn’t been drunk, she wouldn’t have been raped.  In class discussion after the video, many boys talked about how stupid the girl was and how it was her fault she was raped.  The teacher did not correct the boys, even when my DD and a couple other girls pointed out that drunk underage girls have no capacity to consent to sex, and that women are never responsible for their own rape.

I also was not too happy with the sexting lesson - which focused entirely on girls sending pictures of themselves to boys and not at all on the fact that boys shouldn’t be soliciting those pics (it’s a federal crime to solicit nude pics of underage girls, even if you are an underage boy), and not at all on boys sending nude pics of themselves.  IMO, would be great if men learned from an early age that unsolicited d** pics are not a good idea.

Finally, was not that happy to see my kids come home with an self-quiz on Adverse Childhood Events which they had been required to share in class (which seemed like a pretty big privacy violation) and which rated “mom going back to work” as an ACE on the same scale as “death of a family member”. (BTW, there was no ACE option for “dad going back to work”.)

Oops, forgot one more - also did not love that the only “contraceptive” option that seems to  be taught is the male condom. WTF?

If you’re concerned, go to the parent night at school to see the Sex Ed materials. Frankly, I wish sex ed were less misogynistic, more inclusive of LGBTQ perspectives and families and offered more comprehensive birth control education. [/quote]
