Thanks for sharing. I'm not sure what your ambivalence was about the incest video. I thought it was handled well. The brief dramatization of inappropriate touching, and the little girl yelling "STOP" made it really clear what was going on. It was direct, to the point, unambiguous and brief. On the "pill" slides, I was amazed to find out that, "In France the morning after pill is given out free to under age girls by pharmacies, family planning centers and school nurses." Can you imagine what that would do to teen pregnancies in this country? Wow! Talk about progressive. Hence, your headline. Yeah France. There is such a general perception that we do things well in the U.S., but in sexuality education and health care in general, we really suck. This is a great site! Thanks for sharing.
