Unbelieveable. Mexico has some severe problems. This quote caught my eye: And while Mexicans may flock to see the pope, they often disregard his teachings. That sure is the truth. Here's a related story... Click here.

Duality is a term used here in Mexico. It means you can post naked women in your Automatic Tranmission shop, lesbians doing things next to the Blessed Mother of God. And when they sing the Ave Maria on the radio, everyone crosses themselves, light the candle and get holy. This thing of the school is true, and kids are confused. I've talked to high school kids who said their teachers insisted before the year was up, everyone needed to have a sexual experience, and find a sexual partner or multiple partners. Some of this influence comes to these rural areas via MTV. While others have gone to the USA and come back with navel rings and tee shirts that don't cover their parts. THIS is all part of why the people are fearful of going with the trends of globalization, loss of their values, and identity as a culture.

The new texts are part of a federal crusade to reduce teenage pregnancies, which account for one in five births in Mexico, and prevent sexually transmitted diseases by introducing comprehensive sex education at an early age.

The goal is good. The method isn't. Somehow I don't think exposing young teens, whose hormones are just starting to rage, to explict sexual material is going to help. These kids don't need anything that is going to stimulate them more than is already happening naturally.

Many Americans disregard the Pope's teachings also, not just Mexicans. Sheesh!

Complain when they don't become "Americanized".

Then complain when they do become "Americanized".
