To: worst-case scenario

Yes they aren’t everywhere. I am glad that your son didn’t encounter one of the perverse programs out there. Our school system has an abstinence based program. They teach consequences and about STDs etc. My husband helps teach the courses.

I don’t think teaching contraception is the responsibility of the school. Sex education really isn’t either but since they are going to have something taught, I would argue for an abstinence/consequence based program.

BTW, dating has been outlawed in our home. We are raising our children for courtship. I know your ban dating was spoken tongue in cheek. I have told several people that if I was widowed and looking to remarry, I wouldn’t put myself alone in a car with a man. I surely wouldn’t put my 17 year old daughter in a car with a 17 year old boy.

My son isn’t interested in dating - it costs too much. (LOL!) Also he has seen how romantic/sexual attachments too young can really alter a person’s future. He doesn’t want anyone limiting his choices, not even his own emotions.

But my suggestion to ban dating wasn’t totally tongue-in-cheek. You have the insight dealing with your daughter - the only way to stop sexual behavior between young people is to keep them from being alone together, If “no teen sex” is what the Wisconsin AG wants, he should ban dating.
