Given my support for the abolition of education, I haven't got any rousing defense of the Montgomery County School Board's right to teach the kidz that fagz walk among us. That said, a line in the lined article rather, um, rose to my attention:
Tenth-grade students get those lessons, plus 45 minutes on the correct use of a condom.Forty-five minutes! Since the basic principle here is the same as, say, putting on a pair of socks, I've got to wonder just how stupid they're raisin' 'em in Maryland these days.

This coming from someone that uses Latin in every other post and who uses words like "oubliette" and "invidiousness". Yeah, you definitely believe in abolishing education.
Ofcourse we could just edumicate them childrens in the modern prison regime!
Given that being able to use birth-control decreases one's genetic fitness, should we not expect inability to master the art of condom application to be selected for?
The Hoover Hog discussed the innateness of homosexuality here and links to some speculation of his on how it would have come to be selected for. I am disappointed that we can no longer use the Freudian avenue of blaming frigid mothers or something like that so for now we'll have to settle for attacking them for other things.
I'm just reminded of Bruce Bueno de Mesquita's note that communist regimes frequently invest a lot in healthcare and education, because they wouldn't want their brainwashed drones toppling over in the salt-mines.
Just because one person is highly-educated doesn't mean they can't pooh-pooh education. Bryan Caplan uses it as evidence that he knows what he's talking about and would be expected to be biased in favor of education.
Latin! Oubliette! Goddamn, I am smart. Mother will have to love me now.
You sure are. I just wonder how. And you're definitely smart enough to know that mother will never love you. I do though.
According to Dr. Bryan Caplan, the real problem with our educational system is There's simply far too much education going on. The typical student burns up thousands of hours of his time learning about things that neither raise his productivity nor enrich his life.
So the problem is not education per se but what's being taught and the amount of time dedicated to it. What are these subjects that are buring up hours of students' lives. I suppose his book will reveal this secret. I wonder what would enrich a student's life and make him more productive? MAybe they can learn that in one of Dr. Caplan's class.
..and further more Captain Thesaurus does not simply pooh pooh education like Caplan does. He supports the "abolition of education". Caplan just seems to think there is too much of it and not the right kind.
Dude, it's fifteen year-olds. Forty-four of those minutes are going to be spent admonishing them to quit giggling and cracking jokes.
You unintentionally get to the crux of the matter. In order to teach them how to use a condom, the responsible teacher has to outline the basic parameters of what goes where, something the focus on the family types wish was kept secret. Which reminds me of a joke from an old prof of mine: How they got those families without sex is beyond me.
Since the basic principle here is the same as, say, putting on a pair of socks, I've got to wonder just how stupid they're raisin' 'em in Maryland these days.
Maybe you're doing it wrong. Hell, maybe I'm doing it wrong.
IOZ...you are forgetting that you just don't slap on a dick sock. You have to get that sucker up and saluting first. Then you gotta practice a bit so you know how to put on the sock without ripping it all to hell. PLUS you have to teach the chicks in class how to put it on too (putting on a condom can be a nice two-person affair you know).
So, there's the prep of the "materials" and then there is the actual application of the sock. Plus you gotta throw in some slop, so to speak, for those that will get all excited in the early portion of the application and spew all over bejezus. Those sad sacs (so to speak) need some recovery time to get the dude upright again.
45 minutes may not be enough time.

Clown. Clown, Clown. Clown. Fuck you, Clown!
"Clown. Clown, Clown. Clown. Fuck you, Clown!"
What kind of man are you? I am a clown and I collect moments!
Indeed, the use of the condom does not end with putting it on. Sounds like their sex education is way better than mine was.
Perhaps the new curriculum is like this:

A polish couple gets married. They would like to have children, but don't know how. The polack decides to ask the wisest person he knows: his priest. Father Sabotka tells him "Take the thing you play with and put it where she pees". The polack takes his bowling ball and dumps it in the sink.
anonymous, that sounds complicated and unpleasant. I feel better about having never used 'em.
Regarding just how educable those feisty children are, I find this post from Karl Smith interesting.
My favorite line from that article is how the COURTS! have decided that the theory of homosexuality being innate, does not hold water.
Oh, OK, that settles it for me. Can't teach it now, since the courts have weighed in. Jezus!
BTW how DID that Scopes monkey trial turn out?
Hehe. Polacks and priests are so stoopid.
"My favorite line from that article is how the COURTS! have decided that the theory of homosexuality being innate, does not hold water."
Erm, I'm not sure that the courts should be deciding scientific questions. But the best that can be said for the "theory of homosexuality being innate" is that it's controversial, and far from being settled. More bluntly, it's 11 pounds of shit in a ten-pound bag.
It's also dangerous politically to hang civil rights on "science." Suppose it were definitely proven that homosexuality is not inborn: then any legal protections enacted in the interim would have to be repealed.
Now, in fact, civil rights do not depend on one's condition being innate / inborn / "genetic." Civil Rights laws forbid discrimination on the basis of religion, and no one as far as I know has tried to claim that Pentecostalism is genetic. I enjoy telling Christians, gay or straight, when they whine that I'm being mean to them, that Christianity is a chosen lifestyle, not something you're born with, so they can't piggyback on real minorities.
