Teaching of homosexuality!

[Todd]

I think we're making the assumption that sex ed gives them a fighting chance. It's been in the schools for decades, many kids have went through it, and STDs and teen pregnancy still goes up.do the statistics suggest that those parents that opted out of sex ed are the reason things are on the rise. It's more likely that everyone across all categories are reflected in the numbers. I remember condoms becoming important when Aids came on the scene. Death will get your attention even when your a teenager. So, everyone was told condoms will protect you from Aids (not entirely true, but close enough). So, now everyone used condoms right? Turns out no. The fear of death couldn't change behavior, but now mandatory sex Ed showing them how to use a condom (which they did in my day without the mandatory) is going to change behavior I doubt it.

of course that never happened in victorian times when sex ed wasn't taught
then almost all working class men never has a dose? well the truth is, proportionally std's were higher then than they are now in the western world. of course sdt's go up, just look at how many we are now to 60 years ago. sex ed lets them know how std's can be avoided. i'm pretty sure that if you take sex ed out of the school system, health care as we know it will be geared up to dealing with stds.

how many school girls make a boyfriend wear condoms. if it's just one that would have had sex without one it's worth it. i'd say without sex ed we'd be up to or ankles in i didn't think it could happen to me's
sure kids are at it now but consequences would be a hell of a lot worse without sex ed and free condoms and birth control.

I don't want to do away with sex ed. It's being pushed as a cure all and its not. All I'm saying is that parents should be able to opt out. Granted, this is my own political bent, but I don't see this as a right my government should get to take away from me. I just see it as one more example of a nanny state telling me that they know better, and I personally disagree.

on the opt out thing, i don't know what changed, but what else would you opt out of if you got the chance?

Case by case, very little I'm guessing maybe not even sex ed.
