They ' d have trouble with not having a safe space though <| sep |> We ' re conservative . Fixes tie <| sep |> This is an extremely tasteless post . This isn ' t oniony at all . The Onion wouldn ' t joke about this . A child died . <| sep |> It varies from place to place in America had assume the same is true for Canada . I ' ve gone to public school in Arizona , which is a conservative state , and Oregon which is much more progressive , and the sex ed was hugely different . The AZ health class was mostly about telling us we ' d die of a heroin overdose if we smoked pot , with about one class a year devoted to if you have sex you ' ll get herpes , here ' s some free condoms . In Oregon it was very comprehensive and explained the risks of sex and how we could be safe . It only mentioned abstinence to say that not wanting to have sex is also normal and that you shouldn ' t feel pressured to become sexually active because people your age are . They discussed same sex relationships , abortion , and even medical marijuana , all topics that would have been considered very controversial in AZ . These classes were two years apart , my freshman year in AZ , and my junior year in OR , so it ' s not like the times had change or anything .
