I think of High Schools as a way to prepare kids for the real world, or at least as much as they need for college. My school teaches a personal finance class, a slew of business classes, an independent living class, college/career success skills, law classes, painting, drawing, photography, basic foods courses, and a plethora of other electives and classes that are not in the basic HEMS core courses (I just made that up: History, English, Math, Science. Pretty neat, huh?).
What is wrong with discussing sexuality? I do it in my English class and I guarantee it comes up in an AP Psych course at one point or another. You act like the discussion of sexuality would be otherwise taking away from a student's precious time that they'd be spending hard at work studying and enriching their minds, when in reality it could be 15-30 minutes taken away from doing busy-work or a pointless worksheet that reiterates the same thing they've been learning all year and isn't challenging at all.
So, tell me your exact argument against discussing sexuality in school, because that can't honestly be it.
English
-
I meant sexuality as in homo, hetero, bi, lesbian, trans

And that's explicitly part of sexuality in general. What's wrong with that?

If you had any intelligence at all, you'd know it was MESH.

Is it? Well that makes a lot more sense. But there's no reason to insult my intelligence over it, friend.
