Does anyone here know the error, boys and girls? Answer: "awareness of the benefits of sexual abstinence" as (both) the expected standard AND ALSO the consequences of teenage pregnancy. Reverse that:

The expected standard, which is also the consequence of teenage pregnancy, is equal to the awareness of the benefits of sexual abstinence.

Translation for those watching at home:

The wording of this statute implies that a child who is taught to be aware of the benefits of sexual abstinence, will experience both the expected standard and teenage pregnancy, which is a consequence of that awareness.

I have zero faith in the educational system of Florida, to teach children anything meaningful. By 8th grade most of them are only as literate as 6th graders in more advanced states, but are pushed through with lower standards. By graduation, most of them aren't fit for much more than community college.

The ones who do end up going to college, go out of state, and don't come back.

Looks like Baltimore is doing well. I assume Maryland is an "advanced" state.

23 Baltimore schools have zero students proficient in math, per state test results | WBFF

You are so right!

So parents should not interfere with independent, quasi governmental groups, independent of the government, instructing your children as to what is not only factual but relevant. There are large bodies of debatable facts on just about any subject. I pick and choose what facts are relevant to teach and discuss and moderate that discussion, you use different facts as relevant and it is obvious (to me) wrong headed, misguided and by such use of facts deceitful, perhaps hate speech. I don't know how to characterize the idea that parents should be out of the loop of what their children are taught. It has been my experience that public education is more apt to teach what to think rather than how to think, critical thinking not encouraged
