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.
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.
That’s their plan. Educated citizens vote less often for restrictive, backwards Republican culture warrior control freaks.
The plan is a Christian Caliphate. These people are terminally lazy, so it’s less work to be a radical sect than it is to learn how to build a bridge, or a healthy family.
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.
I was raised UU! It’s a great sex ed and relationship health program that addresses all aspects of relationships, sex-related or not. I highly recommend checking out your local Unitarian Universalist church/congregation if you have one nearby. They’re pretty cool folks.
