On ‘Last Week Tonight’ John Oliver and his comedian friends made a hilarious and highly educational video that covers what most schools are too embarrassed to teach in sex education courses, and the majority simply ignore, to the student’s peril. John is spot-on, “Unlike calculus, you’ll all USE this information one day!”
Parents aren’t often comfortable with the topic. John Oliver calls it: “Sex education, the conversion that animals in zoos refuse to let you not have.” As an innocent child, my arms were nearly disjointed by red-faced adults yanking me off of my feet in an effort to hustle me away from the baboon cage. I had no idea what was going on, but that baboon knew what he was doing!
It is shocking how few students receive any information, with most states opting out entirely, while in 13 states, the information doesn’t even have to be medically correct! Imagine the same national policy for courses such as English, Mathematics and History. We can thank the conservative ‘Abstinence Only and Creeping Biblical Values in Schools’ folks, whose abstinence scam is financially backed by Congress, where the separation of church and state is a a form of Christian persecution. I can’t help but remember Bristol Palin, poster child for Abstinence. Isn’t she on baby number two now?
In one old film from decades ago, Mike from “Breaking Bad” learned better than to bowl with Judy when she was on her period – but not for the reasons you may think. In John’s new and improved film, which should be subsidized by the federal government and made mandatory in every school in the land, comedians including Nick Offerman and real life wife Megan Mullally perform a sane sex ed video which covers the basics. 1. Anatomy, 2. Abstinence 3.Contraception in all of it’s many and varied forms, and STD’s. 4.Consent. 5.Persuasion and consent – or how to say ‘NO’ to the seemingly deaf and horny. See, it’s easy.
