I have lived in Georgia for most of my life. Not a place too endorsing of sexuality. In middle school during mandatory health class (we had to take at least once a year) there was a two-week period of Sex Ed class. 90% of the class was vaguely worded abstinence crap and threats of STD's. I clearly remember one kid asking about masturbation (something pretty inoccuous, like "Is it harmful?" or something) and the teacher told him he wouldn't talk about "that".
I had to take that class twice. During the second time I repeatedly guessed out loud what the teacher was going to say and he started to get really pissed. He said "If y'all know so much, what's the placenta?" Now that I have a basic grasp of human anatomy I can clearly say that the placenta has nothing to do with sex and that that teacher was a total jackass. Unfortunate I couldn't have showed him up right there and then.
When my little brother took sex ed in 8th grade, he was in some obviously Christian program that was later found to be unconstitutional. He came home one day with a saccharinely Christian diploma or something saying "I have vowed to be ABSTINENT UNTIL MARRIAGE BECAUSE I HAVE SELF-ESTEEM!!" My mom got pissed and told us that no one should be abstinent until marriage because you could end up with someone sexually incompatible. Good advice IMO.
Anyone have interesting stories about experiences in Sex Education classes?
