“Not Your Middle School Sex Ed” rescheduled for Feb. 21
The Central Michigan University Voices of Planned Parenthood sex education event "Not Your Middle School Sex Ed," was rescheduled for 7:30 p.m. Feb. 21 in Anspach, room 155.
The event is open to the public and is meant to be a safe environment for those attending.
The event’s goal is to educate individuals on sex education they may have not been exposed to or were wrongfully taught in their middle or high school health classes.
“The event is meant to teach students things they didn't learn from their sex ed in K-12,” said Cary Illinois senior Emily Seybold, president of Voices of Planned Parenthood. “This event is important to campus because it will be educational and sex positive.”
Some topics Seybold hopes to inform individuals about involve birth control, abortion, and LGBTQ-inclusive sex education.
Voices of Planned Parenthood's main goal is to take the stigma away from sex and create an inclusive, sex positive environment.
“The message (Voices of Planned Parenthood) wants everyone to receive is that sex is not a dirty, negative thing, like we are taught in middle school and in abstinence-only programs,” Seybold said. “We want to create a sex positive environment that promotes birth control and comprehensive sex education, that also includes the LGBTQ community.”
