According to Walnut Creek’s Crazy in Suburbia there has been quite a controversy brewing about Planned Parenthood teaching sex education classes at Acalanes high school. Check out the complete article here. More information in this Contra Costa Times article from last month.
From the article:
At issue are two handouts parents say violate the California Education Code. One is a checklist entitled “Sex check! Are you ready for sex,” which lists physical, emotional and relationship questions to consider before having sex. Included are phrases like, “I know when my body is sexually aroused,” and “I can tell my partner what feels good.”
I wonder how Acalanes compares to Miramonte, Campolindo and other nearby high schools in terms of what is taught. Shouldn’t the curriculum be basically the same?
