[QUOTE=solo1;1004949]Sex education in my opinion should be mandatory.
- could not disagree more, its the parents responsibility
If you don’t think so, watch a couple of episodes of “16 and pregnant”.
- I have and am disgusted with the way these kids are paraded around and are they not exposed to manadatory sex ed? doesnt appear to have worked to well.
Listen to the sheer ignorance of those kids.
- granted these are members of a gene pool that should never reproduce
Listen about the lack of parenting they have and the lack of knowledge they have about sex.
- agreed but should a minority of parents make the rules and impose them on parents who feel that teaching kids is thier job not the schools? next, sex education isnt in itself bad or evil its the leap that has been made is: I dont want my kids being taught tecnique or that **** sexual sex is ok nor do i want my kid in school being taught how to use a condom by a person who can barely teach math. I think parnets have issue with the opening the door a crack has led to a leap that should never have been made.
puritan embarassment or in a disconnected way making sex education some form of pedophelia is a mark of a primitive and backwards thought coming from a primitive and backwards place.
- hardly, such a leap makes your argument weak. I am not backward or primitive by any stretch. In the same way you would not want kids given religious education doesnt make you puritan or primitive it simply violates what you think your kids should be taught in school.
If that makes you angry, good, be angry. Id’ be angry too if I realized i was being stupid for no good reason.
- name calling reduces you to panic, i dont agree so start the name calling? I have a college degree, work in a very well compensated professional capacity Im not stupid for not wanting my kids taught sex in school, it is no the place of the school and since said schools are taxpayer funded they have an obligation to listen to parents concerns. If for instance your kid was being taught the Catholic Cathecism youd probably have an issue with it. You might get angry about it, does it make you stupid? no especially if your Jewish, or Buddhist and dont beleive a classroom is the place to be spoon fed an issue as sensitive as religion or inthis case sex.
But by all means, if you want your sons and daughter coming home with vd or pregnant, then keep protesting these things.
- i have far better confidence in my ability as a parent to understand that i have taught my kids everything I can about these isses and to avoid them. It doesnt mean it may or may not happen. I arm them with as much as i can and trust that they will make the right decision. Have decades of sex education stopped the rampant teen pregnancy in this country I say no it has not. Has it stopped the spread of VD? no. Heard a stat this morning that 80% of kids polled dont think oral genital contact qualifies as sex. I think a reasonable parent understands it is. how has sex education helped? again i argue it has not. I think in some areas the attitude of kids are going to do it anyway so lets show them how to protect themselves has some credence, but in the same vein kids are going to drink should we give them alcohol to demostrate the effects, kids fight and bully each other should they be given the tools to better bully and fight? the answer is alcohol, drugs and guns are talked about and we do everything we can to prevent it, why is sex not as important?
puritan ideals are stupid backwards ideals, They should be done away with for the sake of health and a better society.
- hardly the Puritan ideals of chastity, self control, self discipline, duty, honor and loyalty have not gone out of style. The mentality that anything goes as long as it feels good, sex has no consequences, you have a right to do what you want when you want to, has.

wow, you must be some sort of super parent with pure and perfect children.
I would say that you expect too much of your fellow countrymen if you expect them to hold to your high ideals.
sex education is totally important and there are far too many puritanical thoughts and impedances to a healthy sexuality in our society.
Education is far more powerful than punishment or correction. It is the only preventative measure that really works.
By making sex education even more difficult to teach it makes it difficult to educate and when you promote ignorance, you are ignorant.
sorry man, but your entire post is about you and yours and not about the people.
You don’t seem to understand that people are as different as night and day and that rule of law tries to level that field of imbalance.
If you don’t want your kids getting sex education, then it’s your prerogative to educate them yourself. Which you say you do. So what aout the rest of the people? What about the people who don’t have superman parents like you? What about kids that have only 1 parent or no parents? What about the kids who come from an ethnic background that has zero sex education because of strictness or some other construct? Why would laws be passed about sexuality and what is and is not acceptable ins society but education is wrong?
I completely disagree with your position for these and many other reasons which would just be too much to drop into a thread.
