FREMONT, Calif. (KGO) — The Fremont Unified School District has decided to shelve a controversial sex-ed textbook.

 

The book, called “Your Health Today,” was for ninth grade health classes. It covers a wide array of subjects including relationships, stress, nutrition, fitness, and drugs.

 

But parents say a 21 page sexual health chapter in the book contained inappropriate descriptions of sexual activities.

 

The book became a huge controversy, even generating over 1,000 signatures in an online petition.

 

Teachers will use last year’s book while the district evaluates parental concerns.
