Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah. A bunch of states declined the federal funding rather than teach abstinence-only.
Oh! I didn't actually know that.

Most of the northeast, plus California, plus some others. I'm sure there's a list somewhere online.

I think the part of the proposed new rules that I'm most impressed with is this:
teaches young people the skills to make responsible decisions about sexuality, including how to avoid unwanted verbal, physical, and sexual advances and how to avoid making verbal, physical, and sexual advances that are not wanted by the other party;
(bolding mine.) I don't recall ever seeing anything like that in any of the sex ed classes I had in high school.

As a contrast, one of the abstinence-only programs: [link] I actually found this part triggering:
“The young girl learning to understand her changing body often has no idea the effect it has on surrounding males. Signals she doesn't even know she is sending can cause big problems.”(Why kNOw?, 6th grade, p. 17)
So many things wrong in just two sentences.
