A look at the new landscape of sex education published by The New York Times contains an eye-opening anecdote: In California, teachers are telling kids to get consent every ten minutes during sex to avoid committing rape.
The article is about the brave new world created by affirmative consent, or “yes means yes,” which holds that a person must obtain explicit prior consent for every sexual act or else be considered to have committed sexual assault.The standard isn’t limited to sex itself; a person would also need explicit affirmative consent to kiss somebody, too.
All of this is in contrast to the prevailing criminal standard, known as “no means no,” where sexual assault occurs when a person proceeds with sexual activity despite an explicit refusal of consent. While this remains the criminal standard, California made a major shift last year by requiring all school disciplinary bodies to use affirmative consent, and it also required state sex education classes to use the standard as well.

That shift means a change in how sex education is handled, and the Times suggests that kids are finding affirmative consent to be a somewhat difficult standard to grasp. Among other things, some kids are getting the impression they need to set a timer during their intimate encounters to make sure their casual hookup doesn’t accidentally become a rape.
“What does that mean — you have to say ‘yes’ every 10 minutes?” one tenth grader is quoted asking sex ed instructor Shafia Zaloom.
“Pretty much,” Zaloom replied, adding that “It’s not a timing thing, but whoever initiates things to another level has to ask.”
If Zaloom’s advice is confusing, it isn’t because she lacks experience teaching the standard. The Times says she “has written a curriculum for affirmative consent programs that is being used throughout the country.”
But despite Zaloom’s expertise kids are still finding that affirmative consent is hard to mesh with the way people actually have sex (or, given their age, how they imagine people having sex). When given a list of phrases that could be used to gain consent, such as “Can I touch you there?”, students were dismissive.
“They’re all really awkward and bizarre,” one girl said.
Why isn’t this contributing to the delinquency to minors?
This is all lawyer think. There’s too damn many lawyers. No one in their right mind thinks in these terms.
That state has been completely overrun by absolutely psychopathic lunatics run by a governor who is a complete absolute lunatic. I thought New york was bad, especially New York city with its city council honoring Ethel Rosenberg, but this takes the cake. Trump says we have to get the stupid out of politics. I disagree, this is beyond stupid, this is the mentally ill in politics. The mentally ill have to be removed from politics. I mean seriously, who thinks like this? This is dangerous mental psychopathy in the worst way, I think Charles Manson is more sane than these nuts.
So, who is the observer that decides whether one is a liar or not? And what happens if they are (cough) both of the same gender?
Never.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Unbellyfeelingingsoc. The anti heterosexleague is probably behind this..
“This is all lawyer think. There’s too damn many lawyers. No one in their right mind thinks in these terms.”
I don’t know if this is related, but your comment made me think of the time in 1999 I was flying back from Las Vegas to Montreal and I had to change planes in Cincinnati. For a lark (based on what my Dad had done earlier when he was in another U.S. city), I looked at a Cincinnati yellow pages and turned to the “Attorneys” section. It was about 60-70 pages thick. Cincinnati is about roughly the same size as Ottawa but probably has about twice the number of lawyers and I had a good chuckle telling my Dad about this. Don’t mean to play sanctimonious Canadian (as it is pretty bad here too concerning that), but really does seem all of these lawyers have created such a silly and ridiculous climate for something like this.

In another study California women unsatisfied with their male performances. When asked they almost all said it is like they are in a rush to get done in under 10 minutes.
Where’s the video? HA!
(Don’t ask me for it, I’m planning a trip South from frozen Michigan - RIGHT NOW!)
One hopes our children are feeling the looniness of the left in their lives and will, finally, reject it soundly.
This basically assumes that women are helpless “damsels in distress” and need protection of big brother government even in the bedroom. Don’t these so-called women’s rights groups see that?
Anyway?
Watch? You mean hat? or am I missing something?
Is txting OK or does it need to be spoken?
Someone will write an Android/iPhone app for this, complete with Barry White ringtones.
/S
well there goes the rape fantasies and role playing games that some women are into these days....lol
But I said yes, no you didn’t...yes I did, no you didn’t.......(I can seen how well Californua has solved the problem).
