Voting for the right people.

Lets get it right this time.

A local public high school was tossing out old books recently and I was able to salvage a 1925 Ontario Public School Health Book authorized by The Minister of Education. It was used in schools for several years as a guide for teachers and students for better health habits.
It expertly covered food, teeth care, digestion, circulation, exercise, respiration, fresh air, posture, bathing & cleanliness, clothing, eyesight, cheerfulness, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, germs, safety & first aid. It also had a section called 'Our link with the sea' which had nothing to do with evolution but was about salt and iodine intake to prevent goitre.
The book rightly never mentions sex, homosexuals or the diseases from loosely practicing them. It was assumed that if the students are following good mental and physical health practices, they won't have any abnormal sexual problems. It was also assumed that if a student did have a sexual problem they would take it up privately with their doctor instead of sharing it with the school. It was called discretion.
The book dealt with 'Brain Fag' which was simply an overworked, overtired brain. 'Communicable diseases' were ways to prevent cholera and diphtheria. The section on 'Dick Test' was about a test for scarlet fever and had nothing to do with Dick.
When they discussed 'diaphragms' it was about the floor of the chest cavity not a birth control method. And finally
'Waste Products' was not about recycling but rather the elimination of our bowels and preventing constipation.
They had something, back in 1925, that we don't have today; Common Good and Common Sense. They treated boys and girls equally in health matters. School boards knew their place was not in the indoctrination of other people's children. It was only when they started discussing sex in schools that children became over-interested and premiscuality and pregnancies mushroomed. Oh sure, there was always a small amount of girls getting pregnant but nothing like today's mess.
We can't bring back common decency overnight but we can and should get rid of the people who are pushing sex education programs that promote deviant lifestyles under the guise of condoms, equality and inclusiveness.
The only way to do that is to vote in politicians and school trustees who share your values. It's easy, just ask them.
