I don’t know what that is 🤷🏼‍♀️ so am (probably happily) none the wiser…

Well, there's a word I wish I hadn't learnt...

What age is 9th grade? Not that this is appropriate or necessary in school at any age.

If you don't know what this is DO NOT GOOGLE.

9th grade is 14/15 years old.

The idea that you always need lube, whatever you're doing is a bit rapey. Are they sponsored by a "water based lube" manufacturer?

If you scroll down the tweet thread you can see what I assume are the teaching materials. The pictures, the language used, that's for younger than 14 years! Even if that was the age group of this class. Who commissioned this? What was in the specification when it was commissioned?

Apparently, someone has filed a Police report.

Do NOT search online. Do NOT!

No need to search, the linked Twitter thread has an explanation. What strikes me is that nobody of any age needs to know that. Anyone perverted enough to enjoy that stuff can find out for themselves.

The inclusion of such material strongly suggests that those writing this must be utterly depraved to believe that this is normal. I hope it’s correct that a police report has been filed. Even though I suspect they’d be hard pushed to find enough reason to search those men’s computers, it seems likely if they did search they would probably find extreme porn of various types. The current push to normalize extreme sexual depravity needs to be exposed and called out every time.

Planned Parenthood seems to have gone all in on a lot of extreme beliefs. They are the one's doling out puberty blockers to young students with only a brief interview.

Every one of the cards is about a kink or fetish. Who needs to know this and what is it doing in school? As others have said, anyone interested would find out for themselves. Most of it is enough to make anyone vomit.

That is positively disgusting!
What porn-addled idiot though this was appropriate for children horrible!
I'm a tough middle-aged Lesbian and hadn't heard of these acts...

Me neither and not sure I want to know.

Oh my god. I used to teach a boy about 15 years ago now who used to yell "felch" and call people "felchers" I looked it up at the time so I could tell him off and wished I hadn't. That's the only other time I've come across the term

For 50 years I didn't know that was a thing or that it had a word.

I wish I still didn't know.

These educational resource providers have lost their Fucking minds

The reply from the school is pure gold. "There was one resource which fell outside the scope of the curriculum". That's an A* for carefully crafted understatement.

Unbelievable - what a world.

This is just horrific in terms of the 'normalisation' of things way beyond the experience of young people. These cards aren't even simply factual but promoting all these acts as super fun things everyone is doing. It's wrong. Really wrong.

As if young girls especially need any more pressure of what is expected from them sexually.

Source of the cards:

'Sex from A to Z is a set of cards intended for gay and bisexual youth. This is a fun and accessible resource that facilitates humorous and frank discussion among youth about sexuality and HIV and STI prevention. It can also be used by service providers as a discussion tool in workshops and training sessions.'

https://orders.catie.ca/book/sex-from-a-z-cards-information-for-young-gay-and-bisexual-men/

Oh, look, they have a disclaimer:

'* Please note that some resources available through the Ordering Centre contain language, information and images related to sexuality and drug use, and may not be intended for people of all ages. CATIE ensures that these resources, developed to help prevent the transmission of HIV, hepatitis C and other infections, are written and reviewed by health experts for content accuracy. Organizations ordering these materials must review them to determine that the content is appropriate for their intended audience.'

So the problem would be with 1. the workshop provider (planned parenthood) and 2. the school.

Why in the world would this need to be adressed in schools?

I regret that I clicked on the link in the other thread about this. My innocence shattered. My faith in Humanity irrevocably down the pan. Also a bit nauseous.

Sex ed should be about enthusiastic consent, safety and boundaries. Plus anatomical facts, I guess.

This extra kinky crap can be googled when they are 28 and living by themselves!

Oh, how I wish I could unsee those slides 🫢🤢🤮

I read the A-Z in the link on Twitter and aside from how incredibly inappropriate that material is for sex education lessons it struck me that it’s so male centric. Largely about male sex acts (and extreme ones) with attention all about male pleasure. Nothing in there about the clitoris for example or activities women find pleasurable.

And the reference to lesbians as ‘Vagitarians’ is frankly offensive.

Id bet my right arm it was written by a gay man.

I had to stop reading the definitions on those slides. I knew what felching was before and wish I didn't.

This is irrelevant to children. It's irrelevant to most adults having healthy sex lives. It's the g word.

I have never heard of felching before. A bit scared to ask my teen DDs if they've heard of it.

No clitoris education? Sheesh!

8th and 9th graders at another Canadian school were provided with the same cards in 2015: https://www.thepublica.com/canadian-high-school-students-given-sex-education-materials-on-kink-urine-fetishes/
