Re: [CTRL] Post-Feminist Stumps for Al Gore
-Caveat Lector- If people would stop to think for a minute they would realize that an awful lot of the foofaraw over "teaching sex" is totally absurd. How are the schools going to *teach* masturbation? "Johnny, will you please come up front and demonstrate for the class?" Riiight. Now, that approach might in fact be more effective than the time-honored filmstrips shown by the boys' coach in Hygiene class...but all of the discussion on both sides of the fence manages to ignore the simple fact that *kids are having sex no matter what you tell them in class*. The one thing to be said for live demonstrations of sex (think "Monty Python and the Meaning of Life") is that they would probably cause the kids to rebel simply because this is what They are telling Us to do, and suddenly abstinence and virginity would be In. What you've got now is adults yelling at each and burning each other's books while the kids go off and do their, ah, thing unobserved. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 01, 1999 11:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [CTRL] Post-Feminist Stumps for Al Gore -Caveat Lector- In a message dated 11/1/99 6:27:44 AM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Wolf's books espouse some controversial views.
