Not all schools are like this.
My son is in seventh grade in the Bible belt. He is scheduled to start sex ed in a week. I examined the curriculum. It is straight up abstinence, in gender segregated classes. I called the school and asked some questions, indicating that we used to live in CA, and so I was concerned. The teacher I spoke to said “But we’re in the Bible belt. In fact, we’re the buckle.”
There will be absolutely no discussion of homosexuality, and
if any inappropriate questions are asked the teacher will only say “We are not going to discuss that, please ask your parents.” I am pleased, and happy that my faith in my school district is once again justified.
Holy mackeral! Where do you live??? We have been looking for a place to move to that is like that! Thank you in advance for sharing this information (hoping that you will do so).
Columbia, MO is pretty much in the Bible Belt too (though it is after all the home of MU and plenty of liberals work, teach and reside there).
