French Schools will Finally Teach Sex Education For 25 years, France has said schools must teach sex ed. Now the government is at last putting a curriculum in place. Nearly a quarter-century after the French government passed a law mandating sexe education for every student. Activists and experts say adoption of the curriculum was propelled by changing attitudes in France about sex since the #MeToo movement. The highly publicized trial last fall of dozens of men, found guilty of raping a woman named Gisèle Pelicot while she was deeply sedated, also had an effect, experts say. On paper, the French government has offered sexual education since 1973. But the courses were optional and parents could pull their children from them. French union leader says no specific curriculum was developed, no budget or specialized training introduced and no personnel put in place to teach the classes. "A real education program for sexual and intimate relationships with three hours per class? That exists almost nowhere," Ms. Chanonat said. Only 15 to 20 percent of French students were offered those three classes a year. Activists who opposed gay marriage said the program would destroy the traditional heterosexual family model. After one teacher was targeted on social media with personal threats, the program was cut. The same opponents protested and circulated petitions this past fall and winter. The city-state is one of the most expensive places to drive. It costs up to $84,000 just for the right to own a car. The ‘Most Dangerous Place’ on Earth: Pakistan’s former tribal areas bordering Afghanistan are plagued by escalating militancy. An effort to overhaul the semiautonomous region’s outdated governance is seen by many in the region as a failure.
