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.

    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.
