[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well Loudoun County Public Schools for one. My 4th grade son came home two years ago after having listened to this 23 minute podcast at school (that he accessed through his classroom online virtual library, on his county issued Chromebook) telling me that someday he could have a baby! Try untangling that at bedtime with a 10 year old because surely if my teacher let me watch it and it was on the internet it must be true.

Transcript: 
[Scarlett] Why can girls have babies but boys can’t?
[Jane] That's Scarlett. She's seven years old and lives in Los Angeles, California and she wants to know why girls can have babies but boys cannot?
[Cory] This is a really good question Scarlett and I have a kind of surprising answer for you because even though you've probably only ever heard of women having babies and even though almost all the time it is girls or women that have babies sometimes it's different. So I need to explain this part, to give birth what you need is you need the uterus. People who have uteruses are the ones that can give birth. A baby can come out of your body because the uterus is the part where the baby grows. But most people who have a uterus are girls or women. But sometimes a boy or man can have a uterus and those men with a uterus can give birth. So it is true that almost all the time it's girls that have babies but not all of the time.[/quote]

She's even wrong. you also need an ovum with two x chromosomes and a sperm cell with XY chromosomes. she should have said "you have to be of the female biological sex" ... [/quote]
