I grow more and more disgusted with the Public School system everytime I see it mentioned...to think I once considered being a teacher.

I was just saying to a friend the other day, our society places such a low value on protecting children and treating children as children, whether it's through the media, clothes, divorce, latchkey children, etc. If you have limits you are considered "overly protective" or "old-fashioned," a defensive response from adults who aren't willing to do the same.
So the answer to these children having sex early is not to parent them better, spend more time with them (children with parents and responsible adults with them at all time can't get pregnant), etc., but to invade childhood yet further and teach sex ed to five-year-olds. Sickening.

Eight middle school students and 79 high school students have also become pregnant. Boy howdy, that sex ed sure is working.

Already this school year the Gadsden School District has seen two elementary school students pregnant. Eight middle school students and 79 high school students have also become pregnant.
I graduated high school back in 1970. My senior class had 530 students. To my knowledge ONE girl was pregnant that May. Sure have made progress.... NOT!

Gadsden Superintendent Ron Haugen says many of those parents are uneducated and just don’t have the skills to teach their children. Sorry, I don't buy this. Mom and Dad understand quite well about the birds and the bees, they're just abdicating their responsibility. My great-grandfather dropped out of school when he was 12, Granted, schooling was much better those days even in rural Arkansas. Still, he and his wife, similarly educated, were able to raise 7 children and teach them all about sex and when it's appropriate and when it's not.
One myth spread around: Smoking marijuana kills sperm. For one unlucky teen, believing in the myth resulted in pregnancy.
Only when done very, very close to the testicles. Apparently it's the heat. In college, my roomate and I had a long standing joke about another use for our hairdryers.

Can you believe this..?
Easily. I saw a doctor survey recently which stated that somewhere around 3%-5% of girls are becoming sexually active between 11 and 12 years old. In many areas we're talking about fifth and sixth graders here. Of course, there's nothing "new" here. There were loose 12 year olds even when I was that age...they've simply become a bit more common as society has become more permissive. How do you stop it? Morals, not "Sex education".

Can I believe it? Yes. I can think of two girls I knew who lost their virginity in grade school. Keep in mind, I started 6th grade in 1975.

And thanks to x42, much of the gateway to sex for that age is after the Lewinsky order.

Now that it's entered the zeitgeist, we'll never get rid of it. :)

The same folks who brought you "product of conception."

Are they putting estrogen into the chocolate milk?!Close. Soybeans contain lots of estrogen, and zillions of babies have been raised on soy formula, half of them boys.

The children will not be fixed, and the schools will not be fixed, UNTIL THE FAMILY is fixed.

They don't mention age. An elementary student not necessarily between 6-10 anymore.

Sickening. My wife and I have enrolled our 5-year-old daughter in private religious school. We really don't want these people NEAR her.
