A new middle school sex education curriculum in Orange County, Florida, obtained by Popular Information, eliminates previous lessons on the reproductive system, contraception, and consent.
I used to think, ‘oh, people against sex ed just don’t understand the good things it does! Later first pregnancies, protection from abuse, std prevention…if they understood, of course they’d be on board!’ Haha, oh younger me.
I still do think there are lots of people who come around, if some source they trust reaches them, but I was mistaken to think certain other people were actually against child abuse and teenage pregnancy.

30 … shit 40 years ago when I was a kid … sex education came from kids who were one or two years older than you … hustler magazine and porn videos.
I think I was about 20 before I properly understood what sex was and I had to learn it all on my own.
