[nabs-l] Sex Education Curriculum

Fri Jul 13 01:31:15 UTC 2012

Hi, Ashley.
I agree that the blind should be able to learn about it too.
That's not what I was objecting to.
I was just stating, that I was satisfied with the course, that I had
received, when I was in middle, and high school.
BTW, I'm waiting until marriage, as well, but that's beside the point!
Just because I learned about it, in a general context, I don't think
we should have a how-to course, like what has been described here.
Blessings, Joshua
