re: #181 tradewind

Sorry, but I think it has nothing to do with homophobia. If they were passing out kits to teach children unsafe heterosexual practices ( which fisting certainly is… very dangerous for children especially) there should be the same furor. And Obama is linked only by association… he probably knew nothing about it, and I am sure he wouldn’t want his daughters exposed to that sort of ’ education’. ** It’s his appointment of people who hold radical… truly radical ideas that is disturbing.
** and at Sidwell Friends, I doubt he has to worry

Rest assured, any high school (not middle school, they make a big deal about proper ages of learning) associated with the Society of Friends would have no problems inviting in a sex-ed expert to explain and pass out information on all kids of safe-sex practices. The only reason fisting wasn’t brought up when I attended 17 years ago was because it wasn’t mainstream. For us, it really wasn’t a big deal at all; nobody took the free condoms and dental dams and started having sex if they hadn’t been doing so already.
