THEN she dropped the bomb...she said Bill Clinton was reprehensible for his actions and what he forced parents to talk to their kids about at much too early of an age for some.
She said some of the older kids she speaks with think that oral sex is ok, and not really sex at all and that "we have Bill Clinton to thank for that".
Well you would have thought I had died and gone to heaven! I blurted out loudly that I despised him for that too, and then everybody started looking at each other and my wife was giving me the "you've gone too far for this crowd" look...but all of these parents were nodding agreement and vocalizing approval. I thought there would at least be a few klinton lovers in the crowd that would get pithy, but this was definately not their night...if they were there they stayed silent.
Afterward, walking out I commented to my wife that I thought that klinton part of the lecture went rather well, and she almost fell on the floor laughing.
All Klinton did was bring it out in the open.
The parents at this meeting were all given name tags to pin to their shirts. There were to be several topics to be discussed at this meeting but the first one was on teen sex. The entire discussion was based on the premise that sex between teenagers was a foregone conclusion and you'd better accept that fact and teach them how to do it safely.
After listening to the presentation one gentleman asked why abstinence was not being discussed. He was told that abstinence was simply not viable. When he persisted he was derided and shunned by the presenters and others in attendance.
After about a half hour of the teen sex presentation all of the parents were invited to partake of the coffee and donuts and get to know each other a little bit. All parents participated except the gentleman who brought up abstinence. After the treatment he received he just didn't feel like it.
After 10 minutes or so the meeting was called to order again and the next part dealt with STDs and how they can be passed on easily through casual sex. To drive the point home the parents were told to remove their name tags and look on the back. There was the name of an STD that you "passed on" to whomever you met during the little 10 minute meet and greet while having coffee and donuts. See how easy that was to "catch something" and "pass it on?"
Then the gentleman spoke. He didn't catch anything or pass anything on since he had abstained.
