OFTEN TIMES, PEOPLE THINK OF RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA AS UBER
LIBS WHO JUST WANT TO TALK SEX WITH THEIR KIDS ALL THE TIME.
BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE, IT'S REALLY NOT, AT LEAST IN THE
CUPERTINO SCHOOL DISTRICT, WHERE THEY DECIDED TO DO AWAY WITH A
COMPREHENSIVE SEX ED CURRICULUM THAT THE PARENTS DID NOT LIKE,
BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT SEX.
MORE THAN 150 PARENTS CAME OUT TO A CUPERTINO UNION SCHOOL
DISTRICT BOARD MEETING EARLIER THIS WEEK TO PROTEST A NEW
SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION CURRICULUM, THAT WOULD HAVE
DEFINED ANGEL, VEGETAL, AND ORAL SEX.
AS A RESULT, THE UPDATED CURRICULUM FAILED TO PASS
THE BOARD.
SO, A BUNCH OF PEOPLE SIGNED A PETITION TO DO AWAY WITH
THIS CURRICULUM, AND IT WORKED.
AND IT'S KIND OF INCREDIBLE, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SEEM
LIKE THE CURRICULUM TAUGHT ANYTHING OUT OF THE
ORDINARY, IT JUST TAUGHT THE FACTS.
THE DATA IN IT WAS EXPLICIT, ONE UNKNOWN PARENT WRITES, "IT
WAS EXTREMELY PROVOCATIVE.
IT WAS WRITTEN WITH TOO MUCH SUGGESTION.
THE ENTIRE BOOK ñ
THE ENTIRE APPROACH WAS ALL ABOUT PERFORM, NOT ABOUT INFORM.
THE ENTIRE ASSUMPTION MADE BY THE CURRICULUM THAT WE REVIEWED
WAS THAT ALL OF OUR CHILDREN ARE ALREADY SEXUALLY ACTIVE."
KEEP
IN MIND THAT THIS WOULD BE TAUGHT TO SEVENTH GRADERS, AND
THAT DOES SOUND VERY YOUNG, BUT WHAT A LOT OF PARENTS DON'T GET
IS THAT ñ
IS THAT A LOT OF SEVENTH GRADERS DO BECOME SEXUALLY ACTIVE,
SO YOU WANT TO EDUCATE THEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE ñ YOU DON'T WANT
TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER THEY ARE SEXUALLY ACTIVE TO EDUCATE THEM?
LET THEM FUCK AROUND FOR A WHILE.
YOU WANT TO GET AHEAD OF THAT, LET THEM MAKE SOME MISTAKES.
SOME LIFE ALTERING MISTAKES.
THIS HAPPENED IN CUPERTINO, IS THAT THE CUPERTINO WHERE
APPLE IS LOCATED?
SO THESE PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN SILICON VALLEY, AND THEY
ARE WORRIED ABOUT A CURRICULUM AT SCHOOL ABOUT SEX, AND
NOT WORRY ABOUT THE INTERNET?
THAT'S SUCH A GREAT POINT.
IF YOUR KID HAS A COMPUTER AND A CELL PHONE, IT'S ALL OVER
ALREADY, SO THIS MIGHT BE SOME ACTUALLY INTELLIGENT, MATURE
GROWN-UPS WHO GETS TALK ABOUT THIS IN THE RIGHT WAY, INSTEAD
OF WHAT YOUR KID GETS ALL DAY, WHICH IS BEING TALKED ABOUT IN
THE WRONG WAY, WHICH IS ONLINE.
I'M TOLD LIVING IN CUPERTINO IS IN ITSELF A FORM OF ABSTINENCE.
I JUST HAD TO GET THAT IN THERE, I'M SORRY.
YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS PREEMPTIVELY CHANGED MY MIND.
I WAS GOING TO SHOCK THE WORLD AND SAY THAT I PARTLY
UNDERSTAND THE PARENT CONCERN.
YOU WANT TO SHOW THEM HOW TO PUT ON A CONDOM, AND MAKE SURE THEY
UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR PENIS CAN TURN GREEN IF YOU GET SYPHILIS,
SO DON'T DO THAT, YADDA YADDA, BUT DO WE REALLY HAVE TO GET
INTO ANAL AND ORAL.
IT AND GET A LITTLE SQUEAMISH.
INTO ANAL, I GET YOU.
ON THE OTHER HAND, JIMMY MAKES A DEVASTATING POINT, WHICH
IS, WHO CARES?
THE MINUTE THEY ARE ONLINE, THEY CAN SEARCH DONKEY SEX, SO CARES.
IS DONE WITH.
SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL SAY, HEY BY THE WAY, THAT DONKEY SEX IS
NOT AS SAFE AS YOU THINK IT IS, OKAY?
YOU MIGHT WANT TO PUT ON A CONDOM.
NO, DON'T DO IT.
THEY HAVE STRONG BACK LEGS.
THAT'S TRUE, THAT'S ANOTHER HAZARD.
PARENTS ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT TO
BELIEVE, AND THESE ARE THE TYPES OF PARENTS WHO DON'T WANT TO
BELIEVE THAT THEIR KIDS ARE LOOKING UP QUESTIONABLE STUFF ON
THE INTERNET.
NOT MY KID.
MY KID WOULDN'T DO THAT.
HE'S GOT SOME BAD FRIENDS, BUT MY KID WOULDN'T DO THAT.
HE'S GOT THE SEX DRIVE.
DO WE NOT DELIVER WHAT WE WERE LIKE WHEN WE WERE 13 YEARS OLD?
REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE 13 YEARS OLD, ALL THE CRAZY STUFF WE
WOULD THINK AS THERE WAS NO SEX ED, AND WE HAD TO FIGURE IT
ALL OUT OURSELVES?
AT FIRST YOU ARE LIKE, AND WHAT TO DO ALL THIS STUFF!
AND THEN LATER THEY GO, HOW DARE YOU DO ALL THESE THINGS
THAT I DID BACK THEN?
YOU DO BECOME MORE CONSERVATIVE AS YOU GET OLDER, EVEN IF
YOU ARE A SUPER LIBERAL PERSON.
BUT MY EXPERIENCE IN SEX ED FROM BACK THEN KIND OF INFORMS A
LITTLE BIT MY OPINION ON IT, BECAUSE I'LL MAKE UP THE NAME,
BUT IT'S PRETTY SIMILAR TO HER NAME,
MISS POMEGRANATE TOLD US CRAZY STUFF.
SHE WAS LIKE, NOW WHEN ALL OF YOU BOYS ARE IN A CIRCLE JERK.
SO THEN YOU IMMEDIATELY GOT INTO A CIRCLE JERK RIGHT?
NO, I WAITED FOR WRESTLING.
I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS AT THAT POINT, BUT BY HIGH SCHOOL
WE WERE LIKE, CIRCLE JERK?
NO DONKEYS INVOLVED?
GET OUT OF HERE.
SO, I GET THAT YOU HAVE TO DO IT IN SEVENTH GRADE, BECAUSE THAT'S
WHEN THEY HIT YOU ñ THAT'S WHEN THEY HIT PUBERTY AND ARE SUPER
CURIOUS AND MIGHT BEGIN TO ACT ON THOSE THINGS AND YOU'VE GOT
TO EDUCATE THEM, BUT YEAH, IN THE OLD DAYS SOMETIMES THEY DID
GO TOO MUCH, THAT'S WHY I WAS GOING TO HAVE SOME SYMPATHY FOR
THE PARENTS, AND THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE TO REIN IN THE MISS
POMEGRANATE'S OF THE WORLD.
I KNOW YOUR OPINION HAS SHIFTED A LITTLE BIT, BUT IS THAT
BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD INFLUENCE THEM TO TRY IT?
BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THAT'S WHAT THE CONSERVATIVE
ARGUMENT IS.
MY LITTLE JOHNNY WOULD NEVER HAVE DONE THAT UNTIL HE WAS
GIVEN THESE IDEAS.
I MIXED ON THAT, BECAUSE ANOTHER POST GAME ñ TYTNETWORK.COM/JOIN
TO BECOME A MEMBER AND GET ALL THE POST GAMES -
I TALK ABOUT THE FIRST TIME SOMEBODY TOLD ME ABOUT HOW TWO
MALES CAN HAVE SEX.
AND I WAS LIKE, WHAT?
I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT, I THINK I WAS 15
AT THE TIME AND IT BLEW ME AWAY.
THAT DID NOT MAKE ME THINK, OH, NOW I SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
BUT, FOR SOME FOLKS, IT WILL MAKE THEM THINK THAT, BUT AT THE
SAME TIME THEY WERE LIKELY GAY ALREADY.
BUT OF COURSE THAT WILL BOTHER SOME PARENTS, IT WILL, AND
WE HAVE TO KEEP THAT REAL ñ WE HAVE TO KEEP IT REAL ABOUT THAT.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULD ASSUAGE THEM.
YOU ARE A PARENT WHO DOESN'T WANT YOUR CHILD TO LEARN ABOUT
FACTS RELATED TO THEIR BODIES OR SEXUALITY, THAT'S FINE, YOU CAN
KEEP YOUR CHILD IGNORANT, BUT JUST HAVE YOUR CHILD ABSTAIN
FROM THAT CLASS.
YOU CAN DO THAT.
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS, WHEN IT COMES TO SEX ED, PARENTS
HAVE TO SIGN A FORM INDICATING THAT YOU ARE OKAY WITH YOUR
KID TAKING BEST ñ TAKING THE CLASS.
IF YOU ARE NOT OKAY, DON'T LET YOUR KID TAKE THE CLASS, BUT
DON'T MAKE ALL THE OTHER KIDS SUFFER FROM BEING IGNORANT
BECAUSE YOU WANT YOUR KID TO BE IGNORANT.
HOW ABOUT THAT?
THERE'S NOTHING INHERENTLY SEXY ABOUT SEX AND.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO STAND IN FRONT
OF THE CLASS, THEY ñ IT IS SOME VOLUNTEER WHO PROBABLY
DOUBLES AS A LUNCH LADY, AND THEY STAND UP THERE WITH
THE BANANA AND THEY ARE DOING THE THING.
IT'S NOT JESSICA ALBA READING 50
SHADES OF GRAY, THERE'S NOTHING SEXY ABOUT IT.
THAT WOULD BE WORTH FUNDING.
THEY MAKE IT SOUND LIKE A HOT PORN STAR IS GOING UP IN FRONT
OF THE CLASS TO READ COSMOPOLITAN TIPS ABOUT HOW TO
MAKE YOUR MAN CUM.
IF THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT PERFORMANCE, THEN I WOULD AGREE
THAT'S A BIT MUCH.
BUT IF THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT KEEPING IT SAFE, THEN WE
HAVE A DEAL.
AND LIKE JIMMY SAID, DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
SCHOOLS, WORRY ABOUT WHAT'S ON THEIR PHONES AND LAPTOPS.
