Why Do You Think They Call It "Sex Education"?

Oh, man, I just love this one:

"Parents opposed to New Brunswick's sex education curriculum say the program's resource material includes Internet links to pornographic websites."

I'm tempted to say, "So? What did you expect from a sex education course?" This is simply your modern tax dollars at work.

But it gets better. Or worse, depending upon your point of view.

"A group of parents met Tuesday with Education Minister Madeleine Dube to outline their objections to the sex-ed curriculum for grades 6, 7 and 8, which includes discussions on oral sex, mutual masturbation and sexual pleasure."

Wow, that sure dates me. I don't remember any such discussions in ninth grade health class. Sounds to me like the rain-slicker-and-kleenex crowd is so entrenched that they have no fear of being open and honest about their true agenda.

And then this one, which had me falling out of my chair in laughter:

"The parents also presented Dube with a list of websites for youth from a reference document for the program, including one site that offers links to an online sex-toy store that sells 'bedroom adventure gear.'"

HAHAHAHAHAHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHYUKHYUKHAHAHA!!!!!!! "Bedroom adventure gear"! Oh, my god, that's hilarious!

Not to mention inevitable when you let such people get entrenched in the public education monopoly.

Or perhaps I should say, "buried to the hilt...."

Maybe they should rename the course "Classroom Adventure." The next step would seem to be teachers demonstrating techniques and positions for their students, and then dividing the class into "lab teams" to conduct their "collaborative homework together." One week they could do hetero couples, the next threesomes, the next homo couples, and the final exam would be an in-class orgy. Oh, don't worry, they'd pass out plenty of condoms, and the school nurse would be prepared to perform any abortions deemed necessary.

I remember Mad magazine once describing sex ed as the place teens go to find out what they've been doing wrong for the past few years. It was a joke then. These days, parody doesn't seem to be possible.

And yet....
