I would withdraw my child in a heart beat, your child doesn't have to attend these classes. Get informed! Parents teach your children abstinence, all high school children who care say it is the only way and that is boys as well as girls.

Abstinence is a choice and with choice comes responsibility and respectability to self. No one can force your child to attend if they don't want to. Health and Safety can only be a required course as long as it does not offend in anyway the person required to take the course. Exercise your rights as a parent and make them dump this program...it is Clinton tacky and unnecessary to expose young people to this sort of not-as-common-as-you-think problem, it is your job as a parent to answer all questions about sex. Liberal activist want this instead of some true education. You have rights Parents! Use Them!!

TEXAS parents--If your children go to public high school, they may take health (with the sex ed component) as a correspondence course. It is a no-brainer, easy class, and leaves room in the schedule for other courses.
