Elderly teacher and sex ed, plus Utah's non-sex ed classes

The Utah legislature is ready to pass a law, that first mandated absolutely no sex education shall be taught and prohibited teacher from answering any human reproductive questions by students. However, they have amended it to leave the choice up to the school district about teaching sex education or not. BUT with that said, if a district chooses to teach sex education, it can only teach abstinence only and prohibited from talking about condoms, STDs, birth control, pregnancy or anything else related to human sexuality and the reproductive organs, other than identifying them in the body in human anatomy class.

But even human anatomy class was a touch and go debate, but decided it was OK to include them since the textbooks talked about the reproductive organs and showed them in the drawings in the textbooks, so it would be impossible to have the publisher remove the subject of reproduction just for Utah's schools.

This is of course why Rick Santorum is advocating home schooling and small local private schools who can select what they teach the kids and exclude anything that may offend the parents, like science, human anatomy, sex ed, social science, political science, civics, history and replacing all of that deleted courses with religious teachings from the Christian Bible.

Of course their attitude is ignorance is the best education, that goes for science as well, as in trying to include intelligent design as a science when teaching evolution and mandating that the kids be taught that the US is NOT a democracy, but a compound constitutional republic, whatever that is.

So in light of this ignorance and the sex education debate, here is a little joke to give you a laugh.

An elderly, single, third grade teacher was informed she would have
to teach sex education.

She was quite upset and refused the assignment. She didn't think she
would actually be able to talk about the subject. Eventually, she
changed her mind as the alternative was to be fired.

On the first day of school she drew a woman's body on the blackboard,
pointed to the chest and asked the class "Does anyone know what
this is called?"

Jane, who was sitting in the first row, raised her hand and answered
"It's called a 'breast' and my mommy has two of them!"

"Very good," said the teacher. Then she drew a male body on the
board, pointed to the groin, and asked "Does anyone know what
this is called?"

This time Billy raised his hand. "I know what it is! It's called a
'penis' and my daddy has two of them."

"That's the right name," said the teacher, but I don't think your
daddy has two of them."

"Yes he does!" said Billy. "He has a little one that he uses to pee,
and big one he brushes mommy's teeth with!"
