Sunday, March 01, 2009  Why kNOw? (by Phila)  Racymind has a
horrifying post on the sex-ed materials used in Texas schools,
which promote important scientificological discoverisms like
these (from the aptly named "Why kNOw?" curriculum): “Women
gauge their happiness and judge their success by their
relationships,” while “men’s happiness and success hinge on
their accomplishments.”  “...a girl is out of place when she
pursues. Likewise, the guy is out of place when he’s the one who
has to be swept off his feet. We all know it. Just imagine a guy
leaning over his balcony at night, blushing as he listens to a
young lady serenading him from the garden below. It’s messed
up!” There's also a catchy, hip-hop-influenced slogan: Read the
whole thing, and learn as much as you can stand about the
fascinating and eternally valid differences between "Erotic
Bill" and "Romantic Susie."
