I, the father of six children, recently wrote an article advocating expanded sex education for kids, starting in the 6th grade. The curriculum would be general until the 9th grade when it would become specific. Why the 9th grade? Because regardless of parental bias, kids are having sex by that age. If they don't learn from us, they will learn from their peers, which is a dead end.

Even worse, and I cannot believe this isn't all over this article and the state of Florida:
Teens will learn sex from porn. Period. Ask how many teen girls are told being hit and hair pulled is normal sexual behavior. Ask how many girls who have endured painful anal sex say she thought it was normal. Ask how many girls who do not know that condoms can stop their unwanted pregnancy. Boys pull and pray, girls become pregnant teens and, in Florida, carry a baby to term, their lives are lessened because of it. And ask that child of a teen parent how many fathers they have had by the time they are in first grade.
Medical blogs have posted articles about injuries inflicted on girls and women from sexual violence so that physicians have awareness and can ask the right questions
You are so right. I knew nothing about sex till I learned it on the streets, with terrible consequences. I was fortunate that Roe v. Wade was decided. Now, what are those kids to do? No education and no safety net. We really need to vote blue up and down ballot, for the sake of our children and their families.
You cannot edit Substack posts. You have to delete and start over again. The three little dots donтАЩt bring you to an edit button. Am I missing something?
That may be the case for posts, but apparently not for comments. In fact, I just edited the :) out of me comment to test it, and you may see "edited..." above my comment.

I learned from my babysitter.
I should not ask, but "learned what!"?
All about the act but not responsibilty, safety, etc.
"six" children - gotta love Freudian typos!
Yeah, I saw that, but didn't know how to edit it.
