>Sex Education: The relationship between me and my children is no one’s business but my own
The relationship between me and my children is no one’s business but my own. And it certainly isn’t up to the state to decide what “small price” of my parental rights is appropriate to usurp. No, this is not about safe sex or anything like it. It is about a progressive mentality that believes that they know what is best for society. Come hell or high water, these liberals are determined to dictate the most intimate aspects of our lives and relationships.
If your child is having sex, it is not because they didn’t know how to put on a condom or use a dental dam. It is because you haven’t been a very good parent. And all the “instruction” in the world, by a state run education entity, on how to use such devices, is going to change that. Quite the contrary, by making young teens comfortable with such things we, as adults, are promoting it.
One must ask the poster of this thread; do you expect that your children will have sex before they reach the age of 18? If so, you need to ask yourself, why. It is telling how easily you throw in the towel by saying, “I seriously doubt that preaching abstinence is going to be very effective.” That is what all the libs said about Nancy Reagan’s campaign to, “Just say no.” But in reality, it worked; didn’t cost any money and was an empowering tool for children because adults were telling them that it was OK to say, NO!
Abstinence and the promotion of its value will go a lot further than any program to make children feel comfortable with using condoms or dental dams in reducing teen sex and STDs. 8:47’s comment that perhaps, a “semester of human relationships that focus on loving, committed relationships,” might be a better deterrent, is spot on.
So, the little things matter like telling 14 yr-olds it is ok to explore condoms at a Rite Aid. Would you suggest that we send kids to the liquor store to explore the array of various beverages and to familiarize themselves with the percentage of alcohol content per unit? After all, they are going to drink, aren’t they?
