A judge in Fresno County, California, has ruled against an abstinence-only sex education program, saying a school district violated state law by failing to provide adequate instruction on sexual health and HIV prevention.
Fresno County Superior Court Judge Donald Black said a lawsuit against Clovis Unified School District was justified because the district failed to offer "comprehensive, medically accurate, objective and bias-free" education, in violation of the California Comprehensive Sexual Health & HIV/AIDS Prevention Act, adopted in 2003. The law requires public schools to "provide a pupil with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect his or her sexual and reproductive health from unintended pregnancy and STDs."
"Given the high social cost of teen pregnancy and similar toll on society of HIV/ADIS [sic] and other sexually transmitted diseases, the rights vindicated by this suit, access to medically, and socially appropriate sexual education, is an important public right," Black wrote.
I have to admit that I was both shocked, and amazed by this ruling.
You mean there is a state in this country that is so reasonable that it is against the law to teach sex education courses to children which slut shames teenage girls and attacks contraceptive products as ineffective?
What madness is this?
You know I would say that this makes California the perfect place for liberals to raise your children if it wasn't for the fact that the state is always on fire and dry as a bone.
I only hope that this is going to set a precedent, and that other states will soon start suing schools that provide misinformation about contraception and lies to kids about sex.
Hooray! Progress in small steps. Can't stop it no matter how much they try.

It is almost showtime in Kentucky. Any chance the golden child will show a glimpse of her lovely style from her Vickerman hair to her Louboutin heels?
DeleteHeard it through the grapevine that a few pps around Sarah's part of the country did know about Dakota's first wife.
I have know idea if they told Bristol or what up with it all.

Keep it on the down low, Marina @ExotixLLC Lupas may have been hacked, or she really is going to have a blast in Kentucky with a certain somebody or somebodies.
So sad about what is happening to old Sarah.
Also bear in mind that California has mandated paid maternity leave.

The legal scholarship of Clarence Thomas remains stunningly elusive. Justice Cruz, anyone?
What law school did he buy a degree from?

Yes, sometimes what happens happens in California first. I am forever saddened we didn't step up to the marriage equality plate first, but I blame Utah and the Catholics for that.
I'm not. I live in California. I'm a teacher and I've had to teach those classes to sixth graders.
ReplyDeleteI would be shocked if the judge had NOT ruled as he did.
Yeah, we're dry, cost of living is through the roof and there are earthquakes. Says something when this is still a desirable place to live.
I'll be staying after I retire. I'm prepared.
Oh suuure, that's just terrific Gryph, and what's next, laws that make it a crime for "news" channels to lie to us?

Bristol believes in abstinence ...her definition of abstain is when guy pulls out early and squirts on her stomach, and she gets an ab stain.
