Removing the anatomy portion of sex ed is absurd, but we'll just file it under the same "everything I don't like is porn" reasoning they've been using. And at least I can understand how someone can think that teaching about birth control only encourages sex.

But what the actual fuck can anyone say to defend removing any discussion about consent‽ I honestly can't understand it. There's literally no reason not to cover it unless you object to the idea that rape and molestation are bad.

What's next, teaching kids that strangers in vans have the best candy? That adults will often reward those who give special favors? The importance of keeping uncomfortable experiences a secret?
