All districts are now required to promote abstinence, exclude consent, and remove any pictures of reproductive organs.
The Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) has ordered local school districts to submit their sex education plans to the state for approval. The FLDOE has also said the classes must promote abstinence and cannot include discussion of contraception or pictures of reproductive health organs.
The sex-ed takeover removes local discretion when it comes to district sex education classes and materials.
Ok, the title comes from the linked article, but they aren’t banned from “mentioning anatomy”. They are banned from showing pictures of reproductive organs.
I don’t know why some people seem compelled to take a story that’s plenty horrible as it stands and give it a deceptive headline… seems like I’m seeing more of that recently. Are we really in a post-truth era?
Without seeing the document you’re not going to see the whole picture. This is a summary of that document that has some inconsistent wording, but until the article and the document are compared you can’t even say what the truth is.
That’s a fine rationale for omissions but the headline is directly misstating the guidance on anatomy. It’s unnecessary for the article to call it out in the headline.
My point is it’s misstated based on the Orlando Sentinel article linked, but the document isn’t linked so we don’t actually know what the source of truth actually says.
So when you don’t know what it is, you make it up? This is shit journalism. Period.
It’s even more unnecessary because the content is already plenty concerning in my opinion. I don’t see a need to embellish.
I’d guess it was an attempt to keep the title succinct, then not proofing it properly. In any case, always read the article before commenting as titles are frequently misleading (intentional or not).
How is that any better? Next your going to rationalize having no books in a literature class, showing no pictures of cells in a biology class, or having a trigonometry class without using the devil’s radians.
I don’t know why some people seem compelled to ignore all context and rationalize state sponored religious persecution in the name of “protecting the children”. It’s not post-truth just because you’ve decided to willfully ignore all the context.
Exactly. Because it’s not any better (“plenty horrible as it stands” as I put it in my original comment), the deceptive headline is not only unnecessary, but also taints the entire story with falsehood when it should not be so degraded.
Mentioning anatomy isn’t substantially different than photos of anatomy in a classroom setting unless you’re a troll looking for a knit to pick.
We live in an age where people are obsessively needy about being outraged to the point where they need to make shit up topics one another off.
Lemmy is probably the best example of this behavior.
