      “Adultery is when you have sex with someone you are not married to.” *(Bible’s definition)

      8yr old: “What is sex?”

      Teacher: “Ask your parents.”

      Other 8 year old: “Is that what dad does with the babysitter?”

      Teacher: “Ask your mom.”

        LOL, no.

        This is science class we’re talking about. Teach it. In full detail.

          I would be surprised if Texas doesn’t have a very specific law about sex ed in schools and what can be taught at specific grade levels.

          Any state that is christofascist enough to require a display of the Ten Commandments in schools is probably also prudish enough to punish teachers for honest discussions of human sexuality.
