Evangelical Abstinence-Only speaker
Pam Stenzel speaks at George Washington High School in West Virginia. Feeling that Ms. Stenzels rally included a lot of intentional untruths, Student Body Vice President
Katelyn Campbell protested the rally. Principal
George Aulenbacher retaliated, threatening to report Katelyn to the college she had been admitted to as a student of "bad character." The school in question,
Wellesley, responded.

Let's Talk About Sex. Challenging the convention that Americans are reluctant to have sexual health issues taught in school, the
surveys show that most parents, along with educators and students themselves, would expand sexual education courses and curriculum.
In the meantime,
some churches are offering their own
curriculum, based on
guidelines developed by the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States.

"Some Florida teens believe drinking Mountain Dew or smoking marijuana will prevent pregnancy and that swallowing a capful of bleach will prevent HIV/AIDS."
* As a result, lawmakers are pushing "for an overhaul of sex education in the state. State lawmakers said the myths are spreading because of Florida's
abstinence-only sex education"
* "On Tuesday, a bill that would 'require a more comprehensive approach' to sex education narrowly won approval from a state Senate committee."

"It feels like a warm, wet vagina." A mandatory "sex orientation" for students at Dartmouth College. The administration claims it was educational. Students who attended aren't so sure. Is this sort of thing common elsewhere?

More Bush Bashing Do we really want tweens turning to the
internet for their sex ed
answers. Seems to me after the recent MeFi post on UK kid's misconceptions, the dollars could have been spent on reality, rather than Bush's archaic ideals.
