Ron DeSantis bans Florida's sex ed classes from mentioning anatomy & contraceptives
All districts are now required to promote abstinence, exclude consent, and remove any pictures of reproductive organs.
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.
They just want Florida schools to make victims.
If theres no sex and no ed how is it sex ed?
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.
My guess would be sone form of gender astrology: Men bigger, have more angry, women smaller, have more talk.
Scared of the vagina. And women in general. Who are these weak men? They shouldn't have power anywhere.
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.
The need to control raises from fear.
Have you ever seen a vagina? Its terrifying! /s
These men need to be schooled by Nick Offerman.
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.
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."
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.
The next *large and extremely young generation
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.
And children and teens groomed and assaulted.
With all the hysteria around a White Lady Pregnancy Gap, this may be a feature rather than a bug.
Sick improvish children are easy to control.
If the revolution needs a baby sitter, then the revolution will probably just stay home instead.
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.
When your thirty year plan as a governor is just to keep the Florida man meme alive forever.
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.
Edit: forgot to say, have passed on two or three more opportunities to go there and no plans to go back. I'm glad I got to see it before it becomes covered in dead seaweed piled 10 meters deep but if there's one thing I don't like to be surrounded by more than seaweed it's uneducated dumbasses.
Is that not his plan? His feelings towards Disney make me think he'd tank tourism and his state economy if it hit Disney harder.
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.
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.
So not sex ed.
Ed won’t even know where to start with his wiener. You ever read that story about the lady who never got pregnant because her husband had been inserting himself into her urethra opening?
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.
Won't anybody think of the children!?
The age old adage of the oppressor
Ok, the title comes from the linked article, but they aren't banned from "mentioning anatomy". They are banned from showing pictures of reproductive organs.
I don't know why some people seem compelled to take a story that's plenty horrible as it stands and give it a deceptive headline... seems like I'm seeing more of that recently. Are we really in a post-truth era?
I'd guess it was an attempt to keep the title succinct, then not proofing it properly. In any case, always read the article before commenting as titles are frequently misleading (intentional or not).
It’s even more unnecessary because the content is already plenty concerning in my opinion. I don’t see a need to embellish.

How is that any better? Next your going to rationalize having no books in a literature class, showing no pictures of cells in a biology class, or having a trigonometry class without using the devil's radians.
I don't know why some people seem compelled to ignore all context and rationalize state sponored religious persecution in the name of "protecting the children". It's not post-truth just because you've decided to willfully ignore all the context.
Without seeing the document you're not going to see the whole picture. This is a summary of that document that has some inconsistent wording, but until the article and the document are compared you can't even say what the truth is.
We live in an age where people are obsessively needy about being outraged to the point where they need to make shit up topics one another off.
Lemmy is probably the best example of this behavior.
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.
"Class, today I direct you to talk about sex and then step out in the hall. If I am not present, I can't get in trouble if you learn things certain governors don't want you to learn about."
The secret noo noo goes into the other secret place and that is how you go to jail. End 2024 lesson.
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.
Sadly, I was only able to find a fifteen year old, potato quality clip of Mel Brooks demonstrating what DeSantis just did to sex ed:
the woowoo - perhaps the most significant female psychological component known to mankind
What about the rhythm method? Don't forget to dig up that relic!
That works, just ask my two kids.
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.
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
