I don't know...it seems to me that the allure of sex is taken away when some geeky teacher is putting a condom on a cucumber! LOL...really, think about it. It seems pretty absurd.

The part that always freaked me out as a kid came afterwards, when the teacher and the cucumber would share a cigarette in front of the class... :)

My kids are in a Catholic school here in Chicago and they sent a flier home to prepare us parents for the sex eductation package about to be presented to my eleven year old boy. It all looked good, but they omitted the section about masturbation and it definitely felt like they were holding back. My guy was a little shook up about the whole thing and his mother and I were left telling him about how he came in to the world and that he was wanted very much.

I don't really think that the kids that age are really that ready for the gritty details that Jocelyn Elders wants us all to know about.
