Ron DeSantis bans Florida's sex ed classes from mentioning anatomy & contraceptives - eviltoast

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.

    Exactly. Because it’s not any better (“plenty horrible as it stands” as I put it in my original comment), the deceptive headline is not only unnecessary, but also taints the entire story with falsehood when it should not be so degraded.

      Mentioning anatomy isn’t substantially different than photos of anatomy in a classroom setting unless you’re a troll looking for a knit to pick.
