they were giving talks at the schools. Before they could start they had to have a meeting with the school board to outline the rules they had to follow.
When my mother was told she couldn't use the word "condom" she asked why not.
The school board president told her because it would "Give them ideas" about sex.
My mother's response was "Since Marion county is Number One in the state in the teen pregnancy rate in the 14 and under category, I'd say they are already HAVING sex"
It did not go over well with the idiot.
