Parents take another hit in the culture wars

Parents increasingly at war against a culture they find aggressively sexualized just lost another battle. This time against the local school board.

that's all well and good.....

but teen pregnancy is down, teen violence is down, teen's are delaying sexual activity. if the culture is awash with bad influences, why aren't kids behaving badly????

Abstinence education?

Teen pregnancy is not the problem so much as unmarried teen pregnancies. The statistics for single teen Moms is up as a broad trend. Like the stock market, stocks going up my have some strong downs on the graph but the stats are really going one way.

Having 2nd graders take a sex survey...amazing. At least a 17 year old can't play Grand theft auto, or go to a rated R movie. Funny how they "think of the children" when it comes to guns, video games, tv, and rap music but conveniently overlook this BS.

"teen pregnancy is down"....???

Teen birth rates may be down, but its doubtful "teen pregnancy" is down.
Abortion and most "birth control" pills kill the baby after conception, which means there was a pregnancy.

Rather the state — in its far greater wisdom about what's right and wrong — has ultimate power over your kids.

no kidding...

"Culture-War" bump.

Why do these parents still have their children in public school? That is child abuse.

[netmilsmom]

>>Kids ages 7 through 10 were asked, for example, to rate the following activities according to how often they experienced the thought or emotion:

* "Touching my private parts too much."

* "Thinking about having sex"

* "Thinking about touching other people's parts."

* "Thinking about sex when I don't want to."

* "Washing myself because I feel dirty on the inside."

* "Not trusting people because they might want sex."

* "Getting scared or upset when I think about sex."

* "Having sex feelings in my body."

* "Can't stop thinking about sex."

* "Getting upset when people talk about sex." <<

If my eight year old were asked to answer most of the questions above, she would say, "Huh?"

Thank God I have the ability to homeschool.
She doesn't know about sex at all.

To say this is for the betterment of society is a lie. They don't want parents teaching their children that homosexuality is unnatural or that abortions are a terrible thing.

That's what it's about.

I pay for a music download service. Yesterday I was thinking of the beautiful romantic music from West Side Story. I decided to download Tonight, Tonight. The search came back with many songs with "tonight" in the title. One of them was a duet sung by R. Kelly and Biggy Smalls. The title of the song was "I'm F*cking You Tonight". Somehow this doesn't catch the magic I was looking for.

The beat goes on.
