The birds and the bees this was not.
Parents at a middle school in California are up in arms after it emerged their children were given a sex-ed class laced with crude memes.
'That's something you can't unsee,' one parent, who asked not to be identified, told ABC15. 'This is definitely more than R-rated. This is X-rated.'
The X-rated presentation titled 'Top Conception Myths' was out on for pupils at Pine Valley Middle School in San Ramon.
Among other topics, it showed a picture of a group of young men with the caption 'douche bags' along with the information that douching does not wash sperm away after sex.
Another myth addressed with a meme: 'Girl on top can still get pregnant.'
But the one which shocked them most was a picture of a man with a bloody face accompanied by a caption saying, 'A real man loves his woman every day of the month.'
One parent said: 'This is horrific. This is unacceptable material.'
Another, who asked not to be identified, told ABC15: 'That's something you can't unsee. This is definitely more than R-rated. This is X-rated.'
The school district said the presentation was produced by Mountain Empire Family Medicine, not a teacher.
In a statement issued to the channel, Mountain Health's CEO Judi Shaplin said: 'We understand and appreciate that some members of our community have voiced concern about a sex education presentation delivered by Mountain Health to Pine Valley Middle School.

I'm a pro-choicer and a feminist, and I take exception to these photos. WHAT kind of mind thought it appropriate, or even educational to use these images? Ridiculous!
