Not so sex education. There has been talk of a parental opt out of these lessons but in this case as with everything else this is far from clear I went to university with a girl who had herself opted out of sex education. In the pub, she thought, in all seriousness, that a vulva was a Swedish car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These sort of loons https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/mar/11/lauren-boebert-grandmother-conservatives-the-week-in-patriarchy Congratulations to Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert who is becoming a grandma at the tender age of 36. This is the same Boebert who called to cut funding to schools that teach students comprehensive sex education at last week's CPAC.

Andy Onchan Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 1 hour ago, Ativa said: Two things worry me about this post. One, that someone genuinely thinks that those things are taught at school in the way it’s been reported. Two, that someone who it looks like might have a chid in the education system is so narrow minded. Maybe we do need to be upping what we are teaching kids at school about these topics? In reality it would be nice to think that kids could have open and frank conversations at home about sex and sexuality and the many way that pleasure can be derived from sexual experiences. Posts like yours just highlight why we need to be expanding what is covered in a school environment. Maybe the outcome of all this will be that we realise how little support and information some kids are getting at home, and as a result end up increasing what they learn at school? Wouldn’t that be ironic if all the uproar from the bible bashes and do gooders led to a review finding that some kids are being fed rubbish at home and so need access to a wider range of information through their schools. What were you taught about sex, relationships etc by your parents and how old were you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 2 hours ago, The Voice of Reason said: Wouldn’t that just make it look like you thought it wasn’t “normal”? They may feel that they are fine without any special particular support and understanding without being taken to one side and told we still love you whatever or whoever you are. OK some may need this but I think the less you can treat them as being somehow different the better As with any aspect of my children’s lives ( although grown up now) I would like to think that I can offer support and understanding and would listen should they need it. As I have on a couple of occasions in the past where their heterosexual relationships have fallen into difficulty No, it would make it look like you understood that the sheer fact they felt they had to tell you was a big thing for them, but they needn't have worried. It isn't making it abnormal just understanding that it presents challenges and letting them know it isn't a big deal for you as their parent.

But they could also take the view, as say teenagers do, that it is none of your business ( and they wouldn’t be entirely wrong) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
