As quoted in State condemns 'gay' sex discussion:
"Faced with the irrefutable evidence of his employees' actions, David Driscoll, commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Education, admitted Tuesday:
"The participation of our staff in conversations with students about explicit issues of sexuality outside the realm of AIDS/HIV prevention was wrong. The workshops were of prurient nature, and not educational, and what we heard suggests that the discussion contributed absolutely nothing to the students' understanding of how to avoid AIDS and HIV."
( This same quote appeared in the Boston Herald on May 17, 2000 )
As we heard, the workshop presenters sure didn't address these issues slowly, carefully, and with great attention to accuracy and truth. Oh no, it was take it to the kids, full speed ahead!
