Of Condoms, Teens, and Porn Part Two

Part One addressed the educational innovation in Provincetown, Massachusetts of providing condoms to students-to elementary school students.

A variation on P Town's idea comes from, of all places, America's Heartland, the Hawkeye State, in the little town of Shenandoah where Planned Parenthood went a few steps better by converting a sex education class into a virtual porn site for teenagers.

Iowa had long been a rock-ribbed conservative state, despite Senator Tom Harkin, but I guess things have changed as evidenced by Obama adding Iowa to his win column in 2008.

It seems the people from Planned Parenthood were invited to the local high school to conduct a sex education class. The class, which included 14 year old eighth graders and both boys and girls, turned into a lesson in pornography.

The school may or may not have known that Planned Parenthood is far more interested in promoting teen sexual activity than in discouraging it. The more teenagers, and others, engage in sex, the more PP's primary business, providing abortions, thrives.

According to a Fox News report, upon learning of the class content, one mother said, "The students were given instruction on how to perform female exams and the instructor used a 3-D, anatomically correct male sex organ to explain how to use a condom."

For good measure, the instructor used graphic photos and stuffed animals to simulate various sex acts and to demonstrate a variety of sex positions: [http://tiny.cc/cnf2a]

Some parents complained to the principal who was "mortified." Rather than being mortified after the fact, maybe the principal should have insured that the material to be covered was age appropriate instead of being more suitable to a raunchy college course on "Sex Acts."

Other parents went to the schools' superintendent, Dick Profit, who said he had "received an equal number of calls supporting and opposing the Planned Parenthood presentation," although there was no way to verify that tally.

Profit went on to say, "It's a political hot potato; it's a religious hot potato; it's a parental hot potato. It's all of these things that cause a crack in the system between society, parents and schools, and we're still required to do it."

Correction, Mr. Superintendent. You may be required to provide sex ed classes to your students but you are not required to make those hot potatoes X-rated.

As the objecting mother complained, "I understand it's a state law that sex education be taught but it is also state mandated that parents be told that this is going to happen and we were not told."

Planned Parenthood's defense: "All information we use is medically accurate and science based."

Detailing how to perform intimate examinations of females, using anatomically correct sex organs, and differentiating the missionary position from other sex positions may be accurate and scientific but are they appropriate for a mixed-gender high school class which included 14 year olds?

I had always thought that sex ed classes were intended to provide students with information on how to avoid pregnancies and contracting STDS and not to serve as a graphic how-to sexual manuals.

I guess I was wrong, as wrong as I was in expecting a sex-ed class to also incorporate information on the advantages of sexual abstinence, the proven best way for teenagers to avoid pregnancies and STDs.

What's next in Shenandoah? A lesson in societal advancement as exemplified in Debbie Does Dallas?
