Anti-abstinence sex-ed policy fails to prevent STD explosion in California

Thanks. The main reason I did the homeschooling was I had several friends that were doing this with their own kids. They were way ahead of the public school students......even the private schools.

Private schools are good, but homeschooling is better. Let's go back to my earlier question: Who is more qualified to raise and educate children? Government schools have become both teacher and babysitter, except they're babysitters with a little more imbued authority. Remember, for so many kids school is a powerful form of secondary socialization.

And much of the socialization is not conducive to a happy child, or good behavior.

Try pubescent "meat market." Government schools produce good drones: those educated enough to serve but not thoughtful enough to ask good questions.

Well stated!

California has embraced the “slutification” of our kids. Our kids getting venereal diseases then should be no surprise.

Not that a little STD is a bad thing. Valtrex commercials are everywhere. Having genital herpes used to invite--oh, what's the word?--stigma. But why be judgmental? Doing what feels good, regardless of consequence, has been a state-sanctioned value for years.

This is bigger than Caliphornia, though the Fool's Gold State is very much a major battleground.

Of course huge, uncontrolled illegal immigration has had its impact on all kinds of infectious diseases, not just the sexual ones.

But the sexual ones have been stoked by a different class of people: the affluent, educated, amoral ruling class which considers itself to be above all moral law and which considers toleration celebration, promotion, and huge subsidy for squalid sexual beahvior to be a virtue in itself.

This explosion of STI's was not ultimately incubated in Chiapas and Iztapalapa, but in Berkeley, Stanford, and UCLA.

...diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HPV, and HIV now infect almost one out of four Californians in the 15-24 age group.

Does California now qualify for "Third World" status?

Guys don't care if you get pregnant, and they don't care if you get a potentially fatal disease. Tell them to leave you alone!

For a long time I wondered why there was no male contraceptive analogous to The Pill, and then I realized it was for this very reason. Women won't trust men to use it. That kind of mistrust is a horrible basis for a deep relationship.

Women won't trust men to use it.

Why would they? Men can't get pregnant.

That kind of mistrust is a horrible basis for a deep relationship.

That's why a "deep relationship" must permanent, exclusive, and open to life.

Take sex education out of the schools, it’s the parents responsibility not theirs!
