Those were simpler times

Yay, it's Ancient Man vs. Ancient Man Who Is Also A Convicted Felon rematch!

Agree

No one thought Trump would win....it's why I didn't vote,what a mistake 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

We were so optimistic back then

I once got a question wrong on a test i knew was right. Both me and the valedictorian brought it up too the teacher with our lesson books. The answer book had the wrong founding father as the answer. So the ones who read the study material all got that question wrong. He didn't care had been teaching that wrong for years and no intention of changing.

@@iamjake99909 Yeah, that's crazy. I've seen far too many examples, myself included, that are clearly teaching history incorrectly, but they like their messaging better. Truly disturbs me to the core.

I'm a historian. I began to study History before I even entered kindergarten - no lie, my mom was such a history buff, she taught me to read on my own by age 3, and I knew I wanted to be historian by age 5 because I saw the power in controlling a nation's narrative. I would NEVER teach History on a K-12 level, because it's sheer propaganda. I want to make it clear that this isn't limited to the USA, every nation does this. They use their compulsory education History courses as government-sponsored patriotism-building classes with slightly factual information. Secondly, American teachers are required to Major in EDUCATION and only Minor in the discipline in which they'll teach. A Minor is about 6 courses. Contrast that with my undergraduate course load as a History Major: I was required to take a total of 34 courses to graduate. Of those 34, 32 counted towards my History Major (my college didn't have a core curriculum the year I started, so I was able to load up on courses in my Major). My Masters degree is in History, not Education, and my PhD courses were all History except one, which was my corollary course, Sociology, because I'm a Social Historian (the only reason I'm not a working professor is that I became disabled while working on my dissertation & was forced to stop). Your History teachers were bad because they aren't required to be good, because they aren't required to be historians, because real historians aren't willing to teach government-sponsored propaganda. Also, let me guess, your History teacher was also either 1) the P.E. teacher, or 2) the football coach? Many schools advertise for Social Studies/History teachers who are also Football coaches, or Football coaches who can also teach SS/History -- the teaching being the less important part of the job. As a typical historian, I'm not terribly interested in conspiracy theories, but I do believe in this one: no one in the US government wants children to actually learn US history. They're scared that you'll suddenly ask for stuff, like rights you already possess, or perhaps progress, if you know truths. That's why your History teachers sucked & will continue to suck. My niece's 6th grade History teacher actually told her that I, her mother's sister, who was actively pursuing my doctorate in US History at the time, was teaching her, "irrelevant history," as if he was the sole arbiter of relevance, and his little BA was equivalent of my education & knowledge. I told her to tell him I was willing to tutor him any time he wanted to learn US history. I don't think she delivered my message & my sister was afraid I'd jeopardize my niece's grades if I went to the school & confronted him, or I would have. If you learn anything worthwhile in K-12 History class, count yourself lucky, because it was dumb luck.

And yet the Bible tells us to procreate like bunnies. Why can't religious fanatics make up their minds.

That’s horrible. The fact that schools pay her tax funded money to spread that disgusting message horrifies me. May I ask what state this was in??

Tbh the moment she started I would of just got up & left, would happily take detention for it as well.

its weird that angry Rosie O'Donnell from Wish would start a crusade to normalize getting the bare minimum of people to accept having sex with you... tbh i feel a little bad for the one goober she berated into taking their pants off for her...

Amazing 😂

It's like all those maps, "we made you think this was X", and now you're doubting yourself

It's almost like Democrats and Republicans are both two sides of the same coin and neither have our best interests at heart.

When I was 8yo, my parents bought us a 4 volume set of booklets (plus a "parents' answer guide" that I was the only person in our family to read) called, "The Life Cycle Library." It was 100% factual information for children on approaching & getting through puberty - for both sexes - navigating the world around you mentally, physically, and emotionally. My parents were 31 & 32 when I was 8, so I think they felt ill-equipped to handle these conversations with my then-11yo brother, let alone me & my younger sister. I read all 5 volumes, cover to cover. The end result is, at 59 now & post-menopausal, I was never pregnant, I contracted one treatable STD in college while in a long-term relationship, and otherwise had no sexual health concerns my entire life. I understood birth control, sexuality, what was fair & not fair in dealing with the opposite sex, and that there may be no such thing as "normal," but there's plenty of, "that's definitely NOT normal!" I also learned that I had agency as a young woman, and that saying No was my right, because my body is MY body. The most stupendously, ridiculously stupid reason the abstinence only crowd gives for not teaching this is they don't want to give kids, "ideas " No one needs to teach ANY mammal on this planet about sex. It's a 100% completely natural act. Mankind knew how to have sex before we knew how to create language! We knew how to have sex before we could start fires! We knew how to have sex before we stopped living in trees! It's not a taught subject! What does need to be taught is sexual health & the emotional literacy that should accompany it. I'm firmly convinced that it's the suppression of all this that creates sexual dysfunction. We might have less sex crimes if they *did* teach more sexual health.

Wish that show was around when I was a kid. Would have saved me a lot of grief. And saved my partners grief, too

As much as I appreciate that show, there's still so much that show has left to actually teach. It is a drama so I know that's not the point but it's literally called that so shouldn't it? They still have a lot of biased views and fearmongering about STIs in general which disappointed me.

Shame on her for insinuating that it’s the girl who’s throwing herself on guys. This biddy is straight out of the Handmaids Tale.

😂

The funniest safe word I've ever heard was Mushu because if you did anything without your partner's consent, you brought dishonor. Dishonor on you! Dishonor on your cow! 😂

I grew up as a closed trans gal in a catholic school. I wasn't big mouths biggest fan, but. Yeah. I'm mad that all the effort to make sure kids didn't go through the bs we did is being undone. It's really infuriating, tbh

Kind of. Like most millennials, I learned about sexuality and sex online. So, it is kind of frustrating though, that's life in North America.

Uhh, did you grow up without internet access or something?

​@@zap_collection6511Up until 20, or so, years ago, not many people had access!

@@zap_collection6511 Keep in mind that widespread internet access is a pretty new thing. Back in the ancient days cellphones just made calls and sent texts, and owning a full computer was a luxury for the wealthy and upper middle class. If you were an average kid and wanted to hop onto the internet you went to your school or local library. Keep in mind too that information you see on the internet isn't always correct (shocker, I know). If you were curious about sex and body health you usually found yourself at some porn site.

I grew up on a small farm, and live in the same area again. Lots of farms here. Lots of farm-fresh produce, fresh eggs from chickens you can actually meet walking around the farmer's property, fresh milk from cows you can drive past laying in a pasture, letting you know either it's going to rain or they're tired. There are zero Whole Foods stores in my county.

“If you have an erection that lasts more than 4 hours first, high five ✋, then think of Trump, if it continues seek professional help, medical and physiological.”

Sorry for the poor explanation: this was an abstinence-only demonstration.

Besides the horrifying message, that’s a lawsuit right there

Dirt can kill. 😮

Which taught you best? I think I know, at least if you're in a red area. It's effing crazy.

Some governors (*cough* DeSatan *cough*) straight up don't want historically accurate history classes if it doesn't fit their agenda I'm pretty sure.

Not so much allows it but demands it. As deSatan said, slaves learned skills... 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤬

I got handed a condom by a sex ed teacher once, is that consent?

May also explain why I wear sock “in bed”, all those years of women asking if I have protection and I pointed down and said absolutely. I think I have some apologies to make and some child support cheques to write.

Unfortunately we never appreciated him while we had him, it’s okay, we have an abundance. It’s why we can loan out Hugh Laurie from time to time.

Diaphragm. It's a method of contraception. Google it, as they said. Just don't get it mixed up with the bit of your body that helps you take deep breaths! Or its use in engineering... It'll be obvious ;)

Hi idk if you got your answer already but it's a form of contraceptive. It's a dome shaped cup that's inserted over the opening to the cervix, usually used with spermicide.

@@voidpriestess42 yuck

@@voidpriestess42 never met a girl that could reach her own cervix.

Now say that, knowing that the child in question was molested by their parent. What a backwards thought you had loads of time to write out and still think 'yea that's good'

I’m very confused by your comment. If sex Ed is left up to the parents only, that would only worsen child sex abuse cases? That’s why regulated, monitored, classroom sex Ed is so important among many other reasons, to prevent children of predators from not knowing that what’s going on at home or wherever is wrong?

Not every child has parents who are able and willing to teach them about sex. Hell, even if they did, having it be part of a school's normal curriculum would still leave the ability to ask their parents questions about what they are learning. Especially because then every kid is on the same page with the same information about what is and isn't okay behavior, how consent works, proper protection, and not relying on porn for how to handle the situation. Trust, as a parent, kids know what porn is, how to access it, and probably watch more of it than any parents wants to admit. That's not even including sexting, revenge porn, and hook-ups. Which, honestly, surprises me that the generations of parking has an issue with this stuff being taught. Informed people make informed decisions.

Anything that starts with "people should" cannot be relied on. We had sex ed in grade 5 and it was fine. Straightforward. A little dull because we were so young. But ultimately useful.

I'm 75. When I was 12 (COMPLETELY ignorant) I told my mother that my uncle (her sister's husband) had ground his groin against my butt (it freaked me out) she took a belt and beat me black and blue ! ! Screaming that it was a horrid lie because a Church Deacon would not do such a thing ! ! Beaten, but STILL ignorant.
