Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
Science doesn't teach much human anatomy beyond the existence and general purposes of brain, lungs, heart, intestines....
Then they can add a couple more parts can’t they
Considering that many young women don't even realize that they don't pee out of their vagina? I think we should be putting a lot more into human anatomy in schools.
I'm not American. Do they really not have biology as a school subject?
We do but it's about more plants and animals than humans.
My school had decent sex ed though (New Jersey)
They just don’t want this subject taught – it’s not about which class it’s in. If a school tries to put it in biology class instead, they’ll explicitly ban it in that class, too.
