" A thick syrupy , volumnious discharge is not uncommon"- school nurse.
The second reading dealt with sex education. The nurse in the film definetly should be the poster woman for what the reading is trying to adress. The author, Bay-Cheng, is adressing the fact that adults and systems that try to educate students or teenagers on sex are bias, shallow, and basically creating a moral panic or stereotype about teens and sex. The system of sex ed construct teen sexuality and use that to justify efforts to control sexuality issues. The sex ed systems are not democratic or educational - they tend to reinforce the dangers of teen sex and construct them as hypersexual. I would like to end this discussion by adding in another quote from the knowledgeable nurse in Ginger snaps.
" youll have to protect against both pregnancy and STD now, play safe" [ hands the girls condoms ]
