Abstinence Only...

IS THE DUMBEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD OF. WHAT HAPPENED TO COMPREHENSIVE SEX EDUCATION?

Seriously, who comes up with this CRAP? Let's preach our morals and religious beliefs to school kids, and tell them, now respect yourself, fall in love, get married, and THEN have sex.

Now don't get me wrong, I have NO problem with parents teaching Abstinence at home and in church and even community speaking events, but come on now. We ALL Know kids will be kids, and they don't like to be told NO. We NEED to be teaching comprehensive sex ed to our school kids IN SCHOOL. Many kids are not getting the sex talk at home, so our educators should be able to teach kids sex ed. Period.

What kids WANT and NEED is honest, accurate, and comprehensive sex education. They WANT to know how to use condoms and other birth control! They want to know STD rates and how to prevent STD's and pregnancy. Yes, Abstinence is the ONLY way to achieve both, BUT we know an overwhelming majority of teens ARE sexually active and NEED real and honest information, so they CAN make an informed decision.
