School Takes Students on Field Trip to Sex Shop
LatestA private school in Minneapolis, Minnesota took their students on a field trip to an adult novelty store and parents were pissed. The class, which was made up of about a dozen middle and high school-aged students, participated in a workshop allowing them to ask educators questions and learn about safer sex products. The trip to Smitten Kitten was the conclusion to a sex education class.
Starri Hedges, who teaches the sex-ed class and is also the school’s director, wanted to give students a safe place to learn about human sexuality. “What I saw happening on our trip, I thought it was beautiful because kids could talk to these sex educators without any shame, without any fear,” she told the the Star Tribune. Anything in the store that was considered to be pornographic was off limits, but sex toys were still visible.
