barefoot and pregnant
cross-posted from liberal street fighter. This dovetails nicely with my drive to take back the school boards. It was written by mcjoan, a fellow Kossack from Seattle.
Hello class. Welcome back to “Pregnancy and STD Prevention I.” Today’s lesson is barrier methods. Let’s get started by opening your textbook to page . . . oh wait, that’s not in the textbook. See, the Texas State Board of Educators (SBOE) decided last week (subscription) that your textbook couldn’t talk about contraception. And since Texas is the second-largest market for high school textbooks, well that pretty much sets the standard for all textbook publishers. You’re not going to find anything about contraceptive methods in this textbook. So kids, here’s what to do. Abstain. Get plenty of rest, and go out in groups rather than pairs. Oh, and respect yourself. Ok, class dismissed. Girls off to home ec, boys to shop.
