Yup.

Besides since when is knowing the mechanics of sex, prevented anyone from getting an std? Its apples and oranges to say they got an std because they didnt have sex ed. They got an std because they had sex.

It also isnt the name of a gal in a greek epic, either.

that was harsh

Texas law mandates that such courses emphasize abstinence, and indeed a district committee recommended Scott & White’s “Worth the Wait” Abstinence Plus curriculum three years ago.

I guess it didn't take.

Sorry, I don’t like failed parents assuming others can’t do it right. There have been no shortage of them here. But in reality, he can keep his Marxist sex ed; my kids only saw the inside of public schools when they took their SATs.

I think Chlamydia is a nice name for a girl! If I had twin daughters, I would name them Lydia and Chlamydia.

So 24 years old is still considered an adolescent? I wonder what our soldiers and airmen think about that....especially the 17, 18 and 19 year old MEN who fought the Second World War.

Good solid bet.

IMO sex education is not the responsibility of the school district. I agree that parents need to get their head out of the sand but birth control discussions and the spread of STD’s needs to begin at home. This issue is no different than checking the contents of your teen’s or tweener’s cell phone and computer, discussions about the dangers of social media, etc. Schools interject themselves in the raising of the children because parents allow them to. Parenting is never easy and each generation presents its own special issues. The ones I deal with with my grandson are some different than the ones I dealt with my son - except for the hormonal one. It’s never changed even from the time I was a teen!

If I remember correctly, there was a character by the name of Gonorrhea Gladly in the book Unintended Consequences. In the book, the doctors and nurses at the inner city hospital where she was born, took great delight in getting the ignorant mothers to give their progeny outrageous names. She went by G.G. in adulthood.

An outbreak like this in this day and age is pathetic.

Wait til it's HIV. I hear with that Syphilis is making a grand comeback in the gay community. Good stuff.

"The best form of sex ed is educating the girls and boys that if they screw up by screwing they will have to responsible for another life for the rest of their life."

Really. The message should be, "When you get in bed with someone and have sex, you might think it's a momentary lark, but it can change the rest of your life, even if you have an abortion and think it's done with." But progressivism does not want to tell young people the truth.

Popping Plan B like Skittles has its consequences.

"Kids have sex. Especially those in High School and even some in 8th grade. Anyone who thinks they're not going to do so has their head in the sand no matter what you tell them, or what they say they understand."

Crazy. Raise your kids right and you will have either no problem, or very very rarely a problem. Serious parents do not have sleep-around kids.

Homosexuals push sex ed all day long and yet they are the most highly diseased group.
