[nabs-l] Sex Education Curriculum

[Herrin, Amber R.]

Dear Joshua,

I have to agree with you here!  For me, the idea of knowing about sex,
before I'm sharing it with my husband, is kind of...unnecessary, I guess?
Maybe the wrong answer, and I understand that not everyone believes you
should wait until marriage as I do, but I think that being blind doesn't
prevent us from finding out about it the same way sighted people
do-experiment (isn't that what most people do anyway?) or read books written
on the topic (how confusing can text be?)

"It doesn't matter what you've heard
Impossible is not a word
It's just a reason
For someone not to try

Everybody's scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It'll be alright

Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing"

I personally did fine, in those courses, in school, without the new proposed
curriculum, that they're wanting.
I don't see the need for one, because who really wants to know, what's being
shown, in those slides?
Good grief!
Blessings, Joshua
