Picture of a Scotch tape dispenser. there is often the "tape" lesson. The premise is simple - each girl receives a piece of scotch tape and is encouraged to stick it onto the shirts or sweaters of as many boys as possible. After much giggling, everyone returns to their seats. Then the girls are asked what's different about the piece of tape. The answers vary from, "It doesn't work anymore" to "It doesn't stick anymore" to "It's worthless." The lesson? If a young woman is with too many young men, she will lose her worth. In fact the awful, religiously-based, sex ed that I worked with others to remove from two public school districts in 2019 was titled, "Project Worth." This is the kind of miseducation that contributes to the Cornell 7 and the like. At the federal level we can institute national standards of sexuality education that are comprehensive, LGBTQ+-inclusive, and rooted in evidence -based science. Please vote for me Beth Farnham so I can work with other caring legislators to provide quality instruction about consent, anatomy, contraception, sexually-transmitted infections, and more in ways that especially don't demean girls and women. Together, we #ChooseDemocracy and real education! (I'm also adding my write-up of the pitiful excuse of a sex ed "lesson" I was invited to observe in 2019.)
