Ohio State University (OSU) is hosting a four-week sex-ed series for its students, the result of a partnership between Ohio State’s Sexual Health and Reproductive Education Organization (SHARE) and the Ohio Center for Sex Education. …
The purpose of SHARE is to “advocate for and promote comprehensive, inclusive, and evidence-based sexual health education for students in grades K-12, The Ohio State University, and the surrounding Columbus communities.”
SHARE’s Instagram page informed students that SHARE will “provide a mini-inclusive and medically accurate sexual health course for anyone interested” and that students can learn about “inclusive language” and “condom negotiation.”
[Amusing, perhaps, but otherwise not terribly objectionable. Students at OSU are almost all adults, and the age of consent in Ohio is set by statute at 16 years of age. Also, this appears to be an elective course/seminar rather than compulsory. If this was a compulsory course in high school or taught at all in middle school, it would make this into a very different issue. — Ed]
