Joel and Naomi bring in a very special guest, Joe Russo, a former Arizona sex educator. In true DTG fashion, we wanted to treat him like any other guest, so we recorded 3 audio tracks and Joel promptly wrote over 2 of them. Good stuff. Joe discusses his past relationships, his journey towards sex education, problems with how sex education is done in America, and specific critiques of Arizona sex ed (looking at you, Doug Ducey). Some really good insights here on public policy and specifically bad curricula.
Looking for a place to donate or help out? Joe suggests you check out the Arizona Public Health Association and Arizona Family Health Partnership. We concur. We also strongly urge our listeners to support the work of Planned Parenthood by donating here. Patreon donations are sweet, but there are more important causes to support.
