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.

    Many people enjoy inserting and removing a their gun from a holster, however, it’s important to remember that discharging your gun in the holster can have dire, life altering consequences.

    These words include abuse, consent, domestic violence, fluids, gender identity and LGBTQ information, she said.

      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.

      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.

    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.”

    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 😂

          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.

      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.

    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.

    Well lookie here. It’s Big-Government DeSantis creating the Junior Anti-Sex League.

    The Junior Anti-Sex League represents the Party’s efforts to control the most intimate aspects of individuals’ lives in “1984”.

    Unlike Winston, [Julia] had grasped the inner meaning of the Party’s sexual puritanism. It was not merely that the sex instinct created a world of its own which was outside the Party’s control and which therefore had to be destroyed if possible. What was more important was that sexual privation induced hysteria, which was desirable because it could be transformed into war-fever and leader-worship.

          Not going to link it, but in the video I saw, there were two distinct holes behind the hole he was using. So, either he was using a urethra, or she had a second vagina.

            I’d really love to see that video. I can’t find anything like that. I found one article claiming a couple was using the wrong hole, but it was the anus, not the urethra. There are two holes behind that, if you’re facing a certain way. The urethral opening is so tiny that ‘micropenis’ would have to be a vast overstatement.

            Thank you for your willingness to look into it and your potential acknowledgement that the story may have been bullshit. I appreciate that.

            I’m pretty sure this can’t have happened, because the urethra is quite narrow and the opening so small, it’s a massive issue to get used to catheters with a tiny diameter. From what I hear, it takes a lot of physical and mental fortitude to be able to insert a catheter into that hole, needing good aim and perseverance, and a lot of design goes into making the cath process less traumatic.

            Caths are quite small. Unless a dick was literally a millimetre in diameter, I can’t imagine how that could happen, especially since the vagina is right next to that opening. If you even tried, it would just slip a quarter of an inch towards the opening that would easily accommodate it. It just seems physically impossible.

            e: and don’t feel bad about not understanding the intricacies of women’s anatomy – I’ve seen posts by adult women who don’t understand what or where their own urethra is. This is why we need better sex ed, not worse like Florida wants.

              The female partner had cribriform hymen and dilated urethral orifice but did not report any problems except infertility and her genital anatomy was normal. The male partner reported concerns over his penile size but was otherwise healthy. After incision of hymen, they were able to have vaginal coitus and successfully conceived. While urethral coitus is rare, it should be suspected in women presenting with infertility and a dilated urethral orifice.

              Just a slightly abnormal physiology, which would be spotted and understood better with better anatomy education.

  • Has the tourism industry in Florida taking a hit yet?

    I’ve been there probably five times in my life, the last time being right before this dumbass was elected; remember back when they were sandbagging all the black voters, booting hundreds of thousands of people from the voter rolls right before election day? Feels like it was thirty years ago.

      It isn’t. Florida needs pregnant teenagers who can’t get abortions so that they can use their children to sit on the coastline and pedal the land up out of the water. This is also where they will get their electricity. It also needs a constant supply of these children because they’ll have to replace them after every hurricane.

      Everything I just typed is probably more likely to work than abstinence based sex ed is to prevent pregnancy and is just as scientifically valid as a sex ed class with no sex and no ed.

      I’m not sure they’re scared, I think it’s more about control and to make sure kids don’t understand what’s happening to them if they’re subjected to abuse or when they reach puberty. It’s all about power and control over the body of other people.

        They are scared of losing power. Shitty rulers always are, because they know how bad they are, or at least they assume others would treat them just as badly if given the chance, which is almost synonymous.

        And more teen pregnancies so there’s more right coloured children and more women staying out of school.
