A bill that would have required all public school districts in Massachusetts that teach sex education to adopt state standards – which include a curriculum showing students how to use thin plastic wrap as a makeshift barrier – failed in the Massachusetts Legislature.
The Massachusetts Senate passed Senate Bill 2128 by a vote of 31-6 on July 20, 2017, but the House never took up the bill before its formal session ended earlier today, after midnight.
A supporter, state Representative James O’Day (D-West Boylston), tried a late push last month, but he said he had trouble persuading other state representatives that the bill would not encourage sex among students.

We ran out of plastic wrap but had aluminum foil. She didn't like it.
And these people are teaching our kids. WTF!
I was on a health education committee for the Wicomico County Board of Education and the committee members were not interested in TEACHING ABSTINENCE!! Every time I brought it up it went in one ear and out the other.
All they were worried about was teaching kids that it was Ok to talk to your teachers or your doctors and practice safe sex. Abstinence was not included in the curriculum and I still insist it should be.
I'm interested in hearing what the parents reading this think. Should schools be teaching and encouraging young kids in high school to:
1) Practice Abstinence and to encourage it
or
2) Practice safe sex.
I don't think "both" should be an option because it is confusing.
Huh, did we transport back to the 1950's?
