My health teacher was also the drill team instructor. She was hot and she often came dressed in her dance leotards. Why, oh why did I not let myself enjoy the class under such circumstances? Instead of listening intently to every word she spoke and watching every motion of those lips, I sat in disgust, plotting ways to protest the sex education she was conveying. Damn IT!

So we want a national curriculum that does not allow for distinctions of a local community? I would have a hard time with that.
I am speaking to basic core curriculum. I think that variances in elective courses are fine.
One thing that you seem to be missing in the situation with Utah is that parents already had the option of pulling their children from the sex ed class. To me, this bill seems to be a moot issue. If parents don't want their children to take the class, they are not required to. The fact is...most parents did not opt their children out of the course. Therefore, it seems to me that the majority of local communities WANTED this curriculum taught.

Sex education is very important! A good deal of mine came from the older woman across the street (17 years old), I was fifteen.
There was no SexEd when I was in school. I doubt it could have compared to the neighborhood kind, anyway.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.
