Is it true that California advocates "obscene" sex education classes? Don’t be fooled by rumors again!

After verification, the news quoted in this blog post itself is false. As early as 2016, the fact-checking section on the Snoops website had refuted this fake news that was sent in 2015. Intercept the original rumor as follows: 

The photo shown in the original article is actually not a photo of Sharon Mercer, a substitute teacher in Florida, but a photo of Carlyle Jansen, the founder and owner of a progressive and female-friendly sex shop in Toronto, who was invited to talk about sexual health in high schools in Toronto. But Ms. Jansen told us that she also teaches sex education classes for adult audiences. The photos shown in the original article were taken in a college-level class (not in the sixth grade), and "she will not introduce the gestures and tools appearing in the pictures into the content of high school."

In view of the fact that the core information in this news is false, other information contained in the news is also very suspicious. In addition to showing abnormal sex education classes, it is also said that California public schools guide 6-year-olds to question their sexual orientation and their gender identity. Since this information does not give any source and supporting evidence, we think it is likely to be false.

First of all, the name of this bill is California Health Youth Act.

                                       Photo: Full-text information about Healthy Health Act on the California Court website.

Adoption date: 2015

Effective date: January 1, 2016

Applicable area: California

Education Act Code: 5193051939(AB329)

The main contents of the bill are as follows:

1. All junior high schools and senior high schools in California must carry out comprehensive sexual health education and HIV prevention education at least once (that is, at least twice in total), and it is not allowed to give students simple instructions and guidance.

2. The education given in all school grades must be age-appropriate and medically accurate (that is, it must be accepted by the American Academy of Pediatrics and other organizations). Educational courses must not promote religious teachings, and all parts must be coordinated with each other. 

3. Sexual health education must take into account and respect the needs of students of all genders and sexual orientations. Educational instructions must recognize and affirm different sexual orientations, and it is necessary to include same-sex relationships when providing cases of partners and relationships. Sex education must teach students the knowledge of gender, gender expression and gender identity, and at the same time make students understand the possible harm caused by negative gender stereotypes.

4. The sex education course starts from the seventh grade. These courses must include all safe and effective methods (including condoms, contraceptives and antiviral treatment) approved by FDA to prevent pregnancy and HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. They must also include information about HIV, pregnancy, sexual harassment, sexual assault, healthy relationships and prostitution, and should also provide resources for local students to get help.

5. Parents must be informed in advance that their children will receive sex education and HIV prevention education, and parents also have the right to check the materials they use before the education course begins. Parents or other guardians can withdraw their children from such education courses by submitting a written application.

6. School teachers and off-campus lecturers must know the latest and accurate medical research information related to this topic and have received relevant training. The district government must regularly provide training to the teaching staff who teach HIV prevention education in the district. Off-campus organizations and lecturers must also follow all relevant laws and regulations when teaching.

7. Sex education courses must be suitable for students with disabilities, language courses and students of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

According to the full text of the California Health Youth Act, the bill does not directly involve the content of "giving students tips on how to use sex toys, anal sex lubricants, and defining anal sex and telephone sex as normal sexual behavior" mentioned by Weibo.

Article 3 of the bill involves that "sexual health education must take into account and respect the needs of students of all genders and sexual orientations", that is, it recognizes that "homosexuality" has the same status as "heterosexuality" as a sexual orientation. But it does not refer to the "abnormal love" involving unconventional and anti-ethics.

To sum up, the "sex education course of homosexual perversion" is a part of "California Healthy Youth Act 2015", most of which are false.

In Weibo, American politics pointed out that California "forbids parents to take their children away from these obscene LGBT sex education classes". However, Weibo didn’t explain it in detail, but the attached picture seems to support this view-the picture of Weibo is a screenshot of the article "California classes parents from pulling kids from’ obscenity’ LGBT sex ed classes" published on April 23, 2018 on Your News Wire website (that is, "California prohibits parents from taking their children away from" obscene "sex education classes).

The reporter of the nuclear record found this report through search.

Two interpretations are mentioned in this paper. One interpretation is represented by Kira Davis, a pro-Republican resident of Orange County, California. They believe that the California Adolescent Health Act protects parents’ right to keep their children from participating in sex education without being fined. Because parents and guardians have a decisive role in instilling values about sexual orientation. Kira Davis is quoted as saying that California does not prohibit parents from taking their children out of sex education classes.

 

The other is represented by Ronaldo Winkate, general consultant of Orange County Education Department. They believe that parents who disagree with California’s LGBT policy "may not be able to keep their children from accepting such courses." He believes that parents still have the right to "advise their children not to accept" such courses to weaken the influence of this regulation. The article quoted Ronaldo Winkate as saying that California prohibits parents from taking their children out of sex education classes, but parents can offset the influence of sex education classes through other channels.

As far as this report is concerned, two opposing views are quoted, which is not as sure as the title that "California prohibits parents from taking their children away from’ obscene’ sex education classes", and the title is suspected of exaggeration.

So, is it true that California prohibits parents from "taking their children out of sex education classes"?

The reporter found on the website of the California court that the controversial clause "Can parents take their children away from these sex education courses" was actually revised several times after the bill was first passed in 2015. The related contents of the latest revision (SEC 14.5) displayed on the website are as follows:

                                                        Photo: Excerpt from the latest revised version of the bill

"A. Parents and guardians have the right to exempt some or all of their children from comprehensive sexual health education, HIV prevention education and other related assessments, but they must withdraw voluntarily."

"B. At the beginning of the school year, parents should be informed that their children will receive education related to sex education and HIV prevention. Parents should be provided with a detailed information about this, including information such as materials used in the course. "

But at the same time, in the earlier part of the bill, it was also mentioned that this health bill does not apply to materials and education about relationships, sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom. In fact, the seemingly contradictory between these two parts of the bill is also a big reason for the confusion and controversy of the public.

Based on this, Snopes.com, an American fact-checking website, called the California Department of Education for an inquiry, and its spokesman’s answer clarified this issue, which is summarized as follows:

1. Parents can withdraw their children from all courses on comprehensive sex education (including preventive education on HIV and STI, sexual orientation, gender identity, relationships, etc.).

2. Parents can withdraw their children from separate courses on HIV and STI prevention.

3. Parents can’t make their children just quit the courses about sexual orientation and gender identity.

                                             Figure: The interface of the California Department of Education website about the bill.

It can be seen that most of this news is false. California parents still have a great degree of choice in their children’s sex education.

The goal of common core state standard is to prepare American students for college and career. The official website of California on the common core curriculum standard shows that the common core standard is the standard of English language and mathematics level.

As shown in the picture, children in G1, for example, should be able to ask and answer the details in the text, repeat the key details, and trace back the characters, scenes and events, main details and so on.

Therefore, the common core state standard basically does not involve LGBT sex education classes.

In addition, the common core is a universal standard in the United States, which represents the expectation for students, but it does not mean the curriculum and teaching materials. Courses are formulated by states, school districts, schools and even teachers based on common core standards, and the course plan of each class is of course formulated by the teaching teachers according to the situation of their own classes. Therefore, the so-called "curriculum being adopted in many States" is also likely to be false.

Intelligent driving down to 100 thousand yuan market: under the equal rights of science and technology, intelligent driving manufacturers are moving towards division

21st century business herald trainee reporter Jiao Wenjuan reports.

"The era of intelligent driving for all is coming!" After the release of the intelligent driving function of the new M7 Pro, Yu Chengdong predicted.

Baojun Yunhai, which was listed a few days ago, comes standard with Lingmiao Intelligent Driving 2.0 Max, bringing intelligent driving into the market of 100,000 yuan; Huawei HarmonyOS announced a time-limited direct drop of 6,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan, and Tesla FSD announced a price reduction of 4,000 dollars to 8,000 dollars in the US market … When smart driving function is becoming the choice of more and more consumers to buy cars, OEMs and suppliers are leading smart drivers into the sinking market.

At present, there are two main types of companies that make great efforts in intelligent driving: one is the main engine factory that insists on the self-developed intelligent driving scheme, and the other is the intelligent driving scheme provider represented by technology companies, and the latter is gradually becoming the "Tier1" in the era of intelligent driving, such as Huawei and Zhuoyu Technology (formerly DJI Vehicle). 

The pressure of reducing costs and increasing efficiency of the main engine factory is being transmitted to the upstream intelligent driving manufacturers. The smart driving scheme of 1,000 yuan has become a trend, and the sinking of high-level smart driving also requires suppliers to reduce costs more and more. However, due to the large investment in research and development in the early stage, poor expected income and difficult financing, the superimposed track is gradually crowded, and the performance of second-tier smart drivers is under pressure. In August, Heduo Technology was thundered, and in the first half of the year, the losses of smart driving business of many second-tier suppliers expanded. 

"The decline in sales profits is an unavoidable topic in the industry." On October 18th, at the theme forum of "China Automotive Intelligent Technology Industry Trend", Qi Zhenghua, CEO of Magic Vision Intelligent Technology, said, "From car companies to suppliers, there are too many players now (smart driving track). For our enterprises, it is necessary to get through the past few years first, and the dawn of the future is still ahead."

"2025 will be the final point of high-level intelligent driving. After five years, high-level automatic driving will begin to become standard; Ten years later, manual driving will become news. " Chen Liming, president of Horizon, once said at the 2024 World New Energy Vehicle Conference.

Smart driving and sinking again: exploring the market of 100 thousand yuan

Generally speaking, the 300,000-yuan model is an entry-level model equipped with L2-level and above high-level intelligent driving. However, in recent two years, the OEM that shouted "equal rights in science and technology" is trying to bring high-level intelligent driving into a sinking market.

From the demand side, "models with high-level intelligence and pricing in the mass market will be products with higher consumers’ willingness to buy cars." Huang Xili, assistant director of soochow securities and chief analyst of automobile industry, said. Hua Fu Securities also pointed out in the research report that smart driving is becoming the main consideration for more and more consumers to buy cars. The order ratio of Tucki G6 Max version is over 70%, and the order rate of high-end intelligent driving version reaches 60% among the 100,000 orders of the new M7.

Zhijia has dropped to the market of 100,000 yuan. Baojun Yunhai, which was recently listed, comes standard with Lingbi Zhijia 2.0 Max, equipped with a map-free city memory pilot, and the starting price is only 109,800 yuan; Deep blue L07 is positioned in the market of 150,000 yuan, among which the model equipped with Huawei Gankun Zhijia ADS SE solution starts at 166,900 yuan.

Zhang Zhuo, general manager of BYD Auto Ocean Network Sales Division, once said that he would continue to give full play to the advantage of "low cost" and hoped that in the next two to three years, BYD’s self-developed and self-produced intelligent driving system would be fully realized as standard for vehicles with a price of about 150,000 yuan or even less.

However, all major car companies are making efforts end-to-end, accelerating the landing of urban navigation assistance functions.

Gao Yinan, chief analyst of changjiang securities Automobile, believes that domestic car companies will maintain continuous investment in intelligent driving. In the short term, NOA in cities will gradually land, and the "end-to-end" intelligent driving algorithm of domestic head car companies will be pushed one after another. Intelligent driving is expected to change from quantitative to qualitative, and the use experience will be greatly improved. 

There are two main ways for car companies to provide high-level intelligent driving services. One is to provide optional packages with high-level intelligent driving functions at specific prices, which are mainly divided into buyout prices and subscription prices; The other type is to use the high-end intelligent driving function as standard through the high-end version of the model, and charge by the car price.

The price of getting on the bus of Zhijia is also constantly decreasing. Since July, Huawei’s ADS high-level intelligent driving scheme has been lowered from 6,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan, and its high-level functional package of Gankun Intelligent Driving ADS SE (Gankun Intelligent Driving Basic Edition) has been purchased at one time for only 5,000 yuan.

On the dark blue model, the standard version price of Huawei Gankun Zhijia ADS SE solution is 20,000 yuan. In the first half of this year, Tesla also announced that the optional price of FSD in the US market will be greatly reduced from $12,000 to $8,000. The 7 V+32 TOPS configuration provided by DJI vehicle will gradually become the standard of 80,000 ~ 150,000 yuan vehicles from this year, and the minimum 80,000 yuan vehicles can have high-order intelligent driving function.

However, the cost of R&D of advanced smart cars is too high. Yu Chengdong once said that Huawei’s advanced smart cars with less than 300,000 yuan are basically sold at a loss. Under the sinking trend of the market, the pressure of cost reduction is being further transmitted upwards, and the intellectual driving technology war is becoming a long-term "capital consumption war" to some extent. 

Smart driving suppliers, the fate is divided.

Most OEMs insist on self-developed or imported smart driving schemes. Under the circumstance of reducing costs and increasing efficiency in the industry, smart driving manufacturers are affected.

"Most startups have basically withdrawn from the market in the past two years, and projects and competition have become more and more concentrated. I think this is a very obvious change in the past two years." Li Lele, executive vice president of Desai Siwei and general manager of Intelligent Driving Division, said in an interview with the media.

As a key supplier in the upstream of the industrial chain, the market share of head smart driving manufacturers has further increased. Ping An Securities pointed out in the research report that by the end of August 2024, Huawei had about 320,000 ADS advanced smart drivers. 

Head manufacturers are leading the market price and cost price of smart driving solutions to continue to drop. In the context of the continuous exploration of high-order NOA, "cost performance" has become the key word of the intelligent driving scheme. In the mass production boarding stage, the scheme of thousand-yuan intelligent driving manufacturers is becoming a trend, and intelligent driving manufacturers compete for cost control strength. The basic version of DJI 7V+32TOPS costs about 5,000 yuan, the hardware cost of Millimeter Zhixing HP170 is only 3,000 yuan, and the raw material cost of the integrated scheme of black sesame intelligent parking is less than 3,000 yuan.

Intelligent driving has been a "burning money" track from the beginning. Without long-term R&D investment in the early stage, it is difficult to achieve cost control. Under the influence of the price war, many smart driving solution suppliers had poor performance in the first half of this year, and some smart driving manufacturers had difficulties in survival.

Even with orders from BYD, Volkswagen, Chery, Great Wall, Tucki and other OEMs, NavInfo’s volume and profit fell in the first half of this year. According to the financial report, NavInfo recorded a net loss of 20.62% to 360 million yuan in the first half of this year, the gross profit margin continued to drop by 12.5 percentage points year-on-year to 33.11%, and its smart driving business revenue decreased by 13.7% year-on-year.

In August this year, due to the tight capital chain, Heduo Technology has begun to dissolve the core departments such as data and R&D and suspend R&D activities. It is understood that the mass production plan of Heduo Technology is far less than expected, which leads to problems in the company’s cash flow. 

Previously, Heduo Technology mainly provided regulatory module support for Guangzhou Automobile’s intelligent driving scheme. According to the plan, this high-level intelligent driving scheme will be carried on Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi model. However, due to the operational difficulties caused by the break of the capital chain, GAC’s smart driving suppliers have become companies such as Baidu and Momenta.

The current income of smart driving manufacturers can be affected by the fact that the order quantity under market competition is less than expected, or the delay in the delivery of the models of the main engine factory. In the first half of this year, the growth rate of operating income of Zhongke Chuangda’s smart car business slowed down, and the growth rate dropped by more than 37 percentage points year-on-year. The financial report shows that Zhongchuang Keda recorded a net loss of more than 330 million yuan in the first half of this year, more than last year. Zhongke Chuangda said that in the first half of the year, the growth rate of the company’s smart car business temporarily slowed down due to unfavorable factors such as the prolonged acceptance period of automobile manufacturers and the less-than-expected shipment of some manufacturers’ models.

Orders are difficult to sign, and many second-tier smart driving manufacturers mainly get orders through binding with the OEM. An insider of a smart driving supplier told reporters, "Now L2 is already the price of cabbage, but the competition for signing this kind of order is fierce, and there are not enough porridge." 

The iterative acceleration of intelligent driving technology update and "end-to-end" have become the focus of this year’s efforts. "End-to-end is the mainstream direction and requires internal resources from all sides." A smart driving R&D engineer told reporters, "However, this also means that the company’s investment continues to increase." According to public information, Huawei’s expenses related to smart driving are as high as $1 billion per year, and Tucki plans to invest a total of 3.5 billion yuan in research and development of "AI technology with smart driving as the core" this year.

For some smart driving suppliers, the continuous R&D investment has not been filled by timely revenue and financing, which is causing profit losses. The R&D expenditure of Jingwei Hengrun, which has been deeply involved in L4 high-level intelligent driving, is increasing year by year, with a year-on-year increase of 36.03% to 630 million yuan in the first half of this year. But the income has not kept up with the expenditure on research and development. The financial report shows that Jingwei Hengrun recorded a net profit loss of 275% to 330 million yuan in the same period. Jingwei Hengrun originated from the ADAS business of automobile hardware, and is now taking high-level intelligent driving as its main force direction. However, according to Jingwei Hengrun, the company currently has high-speed NOA customer projects in mass production, and it is expected to enter the mass production delivery state next year.

The financing problem can also recreate the next crop. At present, the financing market tends to be cautious, and capital is flowing to NOA high-end intelligent driving suppliers. Judging from the public information, the last round of financing of smart driving star enterprises, including Black Sesame and Horizon, all took place in 2022. A few days ago, Yihang Intelligent, a supplier of self-driving mass production solutions, completed hundreds of millions of C-round financing. The future goal of Yihang Intelligent is to be a medium-to-high-level solution with moderate computing power and realize functions such as high-speed NOA and urban memory navigation. However, it is not so easy to get financing. According to insiders, investors will prefer companies that have already landed projects or have fixed-point cooperation with OEMs.

Another way to seek financing is to go public. Since the beginning of this year, autonomous driving manufacturers have "teamed up" to sprint IPO. According to the prospectus, from 2021 to the first half of 2024, the cumulative loss of Wen Yuan Zhixing, a self-driving unicorn, exceeded 5.1 billion yuan, and it was twice postponed to seek listing financing. Even Horizon, the highest-paid autonomous driving industry in China, is seeking to go public.

More new players-technology companies cross the border, and smart driving solution providers may usher in an accelerated reshuffle. Defying Technology and Iflytek entered the market in the second half of last year, and based on their accumulation in AI and technology, they released their own intelligent driving solutions.

Head manufacturers are making efforts to sink into the smart driving market, and companies without financial strength will face the crisis of elimination. Before the final, high-level intelligent drivers will face a market battle.

  Maternal and child health is an important foundation of national health, which concerns the happiness of thousands of families. In 2019, for the third year in a row, the provincial party committee and the provincial government listed the improvement of women’s and children’s health security as a key livelihood issue, and sent a warm-hearted "gift package" to the majority of women and children in the province.

  Cui Ailan introduced that in the past year, the Provincial Women’s Federation, together with the Provincial Health and Wellness Commission, the Provincial Department of Finance, the Provincial Civil Affairs Department and other relevant responsible units, carefully organized and paid close attention to implementation to ensure the improvement of women’s and children’s health protection and the orderly advancement of people’s livelihood. The provincial finance at all levels has allocated a total of 858 million yuan to provide a strong financial guarantee for the smooth implementation of people’s livelihood.

  The objectives and tasks were overfulfilled. By December 31, 2019, the province had completed 1,448,500 free screenings for cervical cancer and 1,487,200 free screenings for breast cancer, exceeding the annual target. The province completed 698,500 cases of free prenatal ultrasound screening and 777,000 cases of free serological screening, and the coverage rate of prenatal screening for pregnant women in the early and middle stages was 65.82%, exceeding the target requirement by 15.82 percentage points; There were 1,141,000 cases of neonatal "two diseases" screening, and the screening rate was 96.64%, which exceeded the target requirement by 6.64 percentage points. There were 1,123,900 cases of newborn hearing screening, with a screening rate of 95.2%, exceeding the target requirement by 5.2 percentage points. The provincial cities and counties (cities) directly under the jurisdiction of the province have exceeded the provincial targets.

  Free screening has achieved remarkable results. In 2019, through the free "two cancers" screening, 585 cases of breast cancer, 24 cases of precancerous lesions and 3,674 cases of benign lesions were diagnosed in the province, and 501 cases of cervical cancer and 4,093 cases of precancerous lesions were diagnosed; Through free prenatal ultrasound screening, 6816 high-risk pregnant women were found, and 44618 high-risk pregnant women were found in prenatal serological screening. Through the screening of neonatal "two diseases", 129 cases of phenylketonuria (PKU) and 862 cases of hypothyroidism (CH) were diagnosed in the whole province. Through newborn hearing screening and further diagnosis, 1159 children with congenital hearing impairment were diagnosed. These patients and children have received timely and standardized referral treatment and follow-up services.

  In view of the sick women screened for "two cancers", our province has also taken a series of measures to help them further get standardized treatment. It is understood that cervical cancer and breast cancer are included in the scope of serious and serious diseases in the province, and sick women can not only enjoy basic medical insurance, but also enjoy serious illness medical insurance. The Provincial Women’s Federation has won a total of 142.11 million yuan for national and provincial "two cancers" relief funds, and rescued 14,211 poor women suffering from cancer.

  Cui Ailan said that through the implementation of this livelihood, the people’s sense of gain has been enhanced; Women’s health awareness has increased, and many women have changed from "I want to check" to "I want to check"; The awareness of diagnosis and treatment of high-risk groups has improved, and the concept of early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment has become more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. "We will do a good job in people’s livelihood with a more pragmatic style and more effective measures, be a good’ family’ and send the warmth of the party and the government to thousands of households."

Recently, Huang Xinmiao shared photos of the four sisters of the Huang family who went to the theme park in unison. Huang Xinmei wore jeans and long legs, and Huang Xinmiao went into battle with shirts and ultra-short hot pants. Huang Xinhui, who has always been low-key, wore jeans with short sleeves. And Huang Xinying was the densest, wearing a colorful vest outside the long sleeves, which was suspected to cover up the pregnant belly.
