All districts are now required to promote abstinence, exclude consent, and remove any pictures of reproductive organs.
The Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) has ordered local school districts to submit their sex education plans to the state for approval. The FLDOE has also said the classes must promote abstinence and cannot include discussion of contraception or pictures of reproductive health organs.
The sex-ed takeover removes local discretion when it comes to district sex education classes and materials.
these guys think about sex and children too much to not be pedophiles.
and this is the number one legislation you’d want to pass if you wanted to make it easier to engage in pedophilia.
When your thirty year plan as a governor is just to keep the Florida man meme alive forever.
Won’t anybody think of the children!?
The age old adage of the oppressor
Florida biology classes mostly center around the four humors.
You joke, but it does feel as though dismantling public education is just a knock-on effect of all these gag orders.
If you want your kids to get a serious sex-ed or biology background, you’re obligated to send them to private schools.
That’s their plan. Educated citizens vote less often for restrictive, backwards Republican culture warrior control freaks.
Don’t necessarily need to go as far as full private education. Unitarian Universalists have put together workshops for sexual education.
I’m not a member of UU, but I have friends who are and the curriculum seems legit.
Ah yes, more “protecting the children”* to pander to an angry and stupid electorate.
* “Protecting the children” is a phrase used here to mean, “ensuring the next generation of an angry and stupid electorate.”
The next *large and extremely young generation
To pander to the segment of the electorate DeSantis thinks is going to reelect him.
He needs to get the state legislature to revoke their term limits before he can be reelected.
This is how you get teens pregnant. And/or full of STDs.
When Fidesz banned sex ed here in Hungary on the basis of “child protection”, we got an immediate rise in child pregnancies.
With all the hysteria around a White Lady Pregnancy Gap, this may be a feature rather than a bug.
And children and teens groomed and assaulted.
If the revolution needs a baby sitter, then the revolution will probably just stay home instead.
If theres no sex and no ed how is it sex ed?
Many, many doctors and health professionals are saying Florida Gov. Ron Desantis has a truncated and bifurcated chungus, and this has led to his fear of high school anatomy class.
So are they just going to pray in class now? Practice their purity vows? Maybe we can have the creepy dad wedding right there in school.
States rights is just a cover for them, so fuck it let’s do some pre-empting from the federal level. Either that or use the Dept. of Education to put up billboards around Florida’s interstates. Give them Sex Ed one way or the other since they don’t want to have consent as a thing either.
So not sex ed.
The secret noo noo goes into the other secret place and that is how you go to jail. End 2024 lesson.
What about the rhythm method? Don’t forget to dig up that relic!
Ron desantis is pretty cool. /s
Dude just wants to bring up everyone’s GPA! No complicated options on how to avoid having a baby too early or stds in the real world. /s I hate deathantis
These words include abuse, consent, domestic violence, fluids, gender identity and LGBTQ information, she said.
Bro what. Ok ok I understand, no matter how much I disagree with it, why they think pictures of stuff are icky but c’mon, people.
I remember sex ed class having textbooks with drawings, not photographs. It wasn’t icky. The topic was awkward AF, of course… Well, I dunno what textbooks are like these days tho.
It’s beyond apparent they want women locked into abusive marriages again. If they could get away with it they’d be rolling back their abilities to use banks, get a driver’s license, or even work without the consent of their husband.
They’re working on no fault divorce repeal.
A few maggot congresspersons have floated the idea
That’s also why they’re pandering actively for incels.
Not that this is how it should work at all, but wouldn’t an easy work around for this be to simply teach this as part of human anatomy In science class rather than sex education in health class or physical education? Or does it ban these things in all its forms throughout school? Maybe they can use photos of animal sex organs 😂
We avoid health learning like the plague in the US. You have to opt into it in college. It should be a running subject just like STEM and along with the lack of financial classes, and the death of Home Ec, shows just how much school is meant to churn out workers instead of adults.
Science doesn’t teach much human anatomy beyond the existence and general purposes of brain, lungs, heart, intestines…
Then they can add a couple more parts can’t they
They just don’t want this subject taught – it’s not about which class it’s in. If a school tries to put it in biology class instead, they’ll explicitly ban it in that class, too.
Considering that many young women don’t even realize that they don’t pee out of their vagina? I think we should be putting a lot more into human anatomy in schools.
I’m not American. Do they really not have biology as a school subject?
We do but it’s about more plants and animals than humans.
My school had decent sex ed though (New Jersey)
