When parents found out about the “visual aids” that a northern Florida school district was planning to pass out to middle school students in reproductive health class, they were shocked and disgusted, and they made it clear that they would be speaking up at the next school board meeting.

At that meeting, the Duval County Public School District backed down from its plan, saying that it would create its own learning materials, rather than using items from $90 classroom kits from ETR, which stands for Education, Training, and Research.
