DISNEY DOES SEX ED
Arthur Hu Sept 12, 2002


I got to review the sex-ed videos that my 4th grader got. Guess what,
they're produced by Disney in his and her versions. In the boys
version, two boys sneak in to get their older brother's health book to
find out about wet dreams and puberty. No information about what
happens to girls.


In the girls version, an older sister takes the girls to the library
to find out about periods. They get a quick 5 second picture and tour
of the labia, clitoris, vagina and urethra out of the book (Not quite
our bodies our selves, but getting there..).  They are told that they
will get breasts and no they can't do anything about their genetically
determined size, which I'm not sure is really true.


Nothing about where babies come from, or how kids can get in trouble
by going beyond making kissy faces, or even that the other sex looks
different with their pants down.


Nothing too shocking, there were some attached fuzzy value conflict
resolution / facilitation stuff books attached as well. That's what's
up in Lake Washington District 4th grade at least.
