There was a blurb this morning on the BBC Radio about a school (I didn’t catch which country) asking parents permission to teach their kids sex education in school. Another group was saying, ” This is absurd to ask, it’s like asking permission to teach history or math in school.” I totally agree that sex ed should be taught in schools.

The only “birds and bees” talk I received from my parents was when I was caught with a Playboy magazine in my suitcase when I was on my way to summer camp. My parents told me that if I had sex I would catch a disease. That is all 100%. I learned everything else “on the street”.

Not to mention the deep shame and embarrassment at not knowing what I think everybody else knows. And not having anyone trustable to ask.

So yes, I adamantly think sex education should be standard in schools. And the sex education program taught should be an approved, standardized lesson across the planet.

A lot of parents are just kids who had kids, Do we know that parents know enough to teach their kids about life? Misinformation or lack of information passes from generation to generation.

IMHO.

Happy Friday
