A Mom Tweets Her Son’s Sex Ed Class
So, there’s this mom named Linda who totally live-tweeted her son’s sex education class at East Lansing High School in Michigan, and it was a wild ride. When she realized she could get Wi-Fi from her seat in the back, she couldn’t help but share the drama unfolding before her. As the class went on, her frustration grew, and so did her tweets.
The instructors weren’t regular teachers; they were outsiders with a clear agenda. They threw out alarming statistics and shared stories that painted a grim picture of what happens when teens engage in pre-marital sex. Linda was losing it, tweeting her disbelief as the teachers proclaimed that condoms often fail and that premarital pregnancy leads to a life of shame and isolation.
Instead of providing a balanced view, the class was filled with cautionary tales that left little room for discussion about safe practices. As the teachers moved on to the ineffectiveness of birth control, Linda’s tweets became more intense—she couldn’t resist typing in all caps to express her outrage.
According to the school’s principal, the program was “abstinence-based,” not abstinence-only. But after some digging, Linda discovered that the group hired to teach was a pro-life Christian organization pushing a specific agenda. Research has shown that abstinence-only education isn’t effective, yet Congress has continued to fund it through 2017. Linda, who works as a professor in Medical Humanities and Bioethics, found the whole situation incredibly frustrating.
As a result of her outburst, she was banned from high school events and put under “special monitoring” due to some choice language she used after class. (Honestly, I can relate—my mom could have easily gotten in trouble for something similar!). Despite everything, Linda still believes her son is getting a good education, but she’s concerned that the school district may be unaware of the content being delivered by these outside groups. But with all the attention her tweets received, they likely know now.
