enamorment: fuckyeahifightlikeagirl: laughingacademy: femininefreak: Sex Education in American Public Schools The third map is really freaking me out. “Don’t have to be medically accurate.” WHAT. This explains the shit sex education I received. So glad my mother taught me a lot of important, medically accurate things. -C Okay so people have a lot of shit to say about Iowa a lot of the time and I feel like people have this general idea that we’re kind of backwards and ignorant. But look at this. Iowa is not included in any of those maps. I received EXCELLENT sex ed through public schools in Iowa, starting with basic information about puberty, etc. in fourth grade. I’ve had good and bad teachers in the subject, just like any other subject, but overall, it’s soooo much better than abstinence only sex ed or none at all. And honestly, if a state like Iowa, which is heavily rural and fairly religious can have good, accurate, age-appropriate, and informative sex ed, then I see NO reason why even liberal states are still not providing this for their students. (We were also the fourth state in the nation to legalize gay marriage just sayin’) FUCK YEAH. Comprehensive sex ed ftw. I did my sex ed over the course of several school systems(I was raised active-duty army) and I would say my experience was similar, mostly. I was quite lucky. -C -- source link
