Yes, I know I'm posting this in a few places, but I feel it's important..

Une version française suit.

Please forward this email to as many people as possible

Did you know that sex education has been eliminated from Quebec's public school curriculum? The material is now meant to be integrated into other courses like French class and Geography, but without formal guidelines. If you feel that Montreal youth deserve quality sexual education, then sign the petition at www.headandhands.ca/petition

STI/STD rates are rising among youth, and young people are engaging in risky sexual behavior. A recent study by SIECCAN confirms this: http://www.sieccan.org/pdf/mckay.pdf

Please show your support by signing the petition and forwarding this email to as many people as possible.

Thank you for your support

Saviez-vous que l'éducation sexuelle a été supprimée du progamme d'éducation québécois ? Ce cours doit maintenant être intégré à travers d'autres enseignements comme le français ou la géographie mais sans directives précises. Si vous pensez que les jeunes Montréalais méritent une éducation sexuelle de qualité alors signez la pétition sur www.headandhands.ca/petition/fr

Les taux de ITS/MTS augmentent chez les jeunes et ils sont engagés dans un comportement sexuel risqué. Une étude récente du SIECCAN confirme cela, celle ci est disponible en anglais à l’adresse suivante www.acsa-caah.ca/fran/pdf/misc/recherche.pdf

Veuillez montrer votre soutien en signant la pétition et en faisant suivre cet e-mail à autant de monde que possible.

Merci pour votre aide.

Sorry, but that doesn't give you the right to spam the board, which is what you're doing. Please stop.

Actually my son's junior high also integrates sex education into other classes. This is because of pressure on the curriculum.

This of course leads to the shop teacher teaching sex ed but according to my kids he does the best job.

And if it's the Auto shop teacher then at least they have the car for demonstrations.

Our shop teacher is very big into "soft skills" and personal organization.

And they could just work a discussion of condoms into the usual talk about safety glasses and hearing protection.

Speaking of shop teachers, I once had one that was missing a couple of fingers. Cliche, but always sort of funny in an ironic way. Once you have 8 fingers, like Mickey Mouse, don't you forfeit your right to lecture the youth about safe band-saw operation?

Sex education in Quebec was terrible even before this reform, 3 hours in one year. Quebec has the highest teen pregnancy rate after the northerly provinces (if I remember correctly.) Go figure..

You're reading the posts. You've been asked to stop spamming, but you're still doing it.

Seriously - stop it. You'll get banned.

Well I believe this relates to women's issues, and a discussion was started, so if I choose to reply then I will. If the moderator decides that this is inappropriate then they can ban me as that is his/her prerogative. In the meantime, stop harassing me.

Thank You

HeadandHands is a great idea.

I personally think younger teenagers are generally ill-prepared mentally and spiritually to become fully sexual beings.

[I realize this is just a conclusion based on an amateur's limited thinking on the subject. I'm prepared to alter my beliefs if presented with a rational argument.]

But teaching them about masturbation (solo and mutual) and about how to achieve climax from blow-jobs or pussy-licking or rim-jobs is fantastic.

I think we should all give HeadandHands "a hand" (so to speak).

Actually, upon checking out the links, it doesn't look like it's too weird an organization at first glance anyway. But I can't resist this stupid joke so there you go.
