Alabama Boys Can Still Hold the Banana

 

Years ago we had a highly amused friend whose son has been chosen by the teacher to hold the banana in a demonstration of how condoms worked. She wasn't sure if she should laugh or be highly offended.

As for us, we were just glad to hear that these early-teen boys now knew what to do in the (hopefully) .00001% chance that such was needed. Alas, if Rep. Susan Dubose had her way, decades of such classroom training would have ended. Thankfully, the Leeds woman's bill that included scuppering any practical teaching on birth control failed to even make it out of committee for a vote. 

Our take has always been to teach abstinence first and birth control second. This would eliminate at least 90% of the need for induced abortion in this state. But no; our state legislators would never support something so logical.
