Oregon ‘Fat Positivity’ Sex Ed Workshop: Teachers Should ‘Center Fat Bodies'
A taxpayer-funded workshop for Oregon sex education teachers instructed teachers to embrace fat positivity, explained the “racist origins of fatphobia” and what it means to have “thin privilege.” It also told educators to normalize fat bodies when teaching physiology and anatomy to students.
