Were your parents at your sex-ed class in junior high? Parents are asked not to attend in order to prevent their children from being embarrassed.
Again... I think this press release went way over the top in calling this book "pornographic." It was problem written by some uptight Jesus Freak....
Yes, parents were welcome to my sex-ed class. Its public education, parents are free to know what is being taught. I remember my sex-ed class back in the early 90's... Todays information is pornographic to what I was taught then. I guess I can see why Planned Parenthood have problems with parents there, they may actually object to the material.
Oh and why do you say "Jesus freak" like its a bad thing?
"In just 89 pages, the authors manage to include 71 nude drawings."
thats from belogical.com
i think that for a 7th grader, that is pornographic.
also from the same site
"Children are independent in the view of this book. Parents should butt out."
we're talking about 10 year olds. 10 year olds shouldn't be having sex! not in western culture! it is the responsibility of the parents to talk to the kids!
if it's ANYBODIES right to butt in, it should be the parents.
and my school never asked parents to not attend sex-ed, they were simpyl given the option to waive me from going to the class. they never showed up, they never waived me either, but they were given the choice. why? because i was 10 years old.
and as someone else asked... why say "Jesus Freak" like its a bad thing? what did someone who believes in love ever do to you?
