July 23, 2004Sex Educators Who Should be Shot. On the Next Riki Lake
"The New Mexico Health Department is standing behind a sex-education teacher in Santa Fe who encouraged ninth-graders to taste flavored condoms."Quick, somebody get me my pistol because if a teacher had my child's tongue anywhere near a condom, it might get ugly. And here we conservatives are with "abstinence education" as the only thing to offer. I think some lessons in critical thinking would help as well. This type of behavior, this is what I mean when I say conservatives lack a certain assertiveness. These educators these days are downright bold. When my brother was in eighth grade, he took some form of "sex education" (in a private school mind you) and came home one day with a goodie bag care of the evil spawn of Satan at Planned Parenthood. Included among the condoms and other paraphernalia no 13-year-old boy should have, were a few bumper stickers with condoms on them that read "Just Wear It". Yeah, safe to say, those suckers went in the trash. It hasn't been that long since I was in seventh grade and even I don't recall classes being this graphic. When my younger sister took health class, her text book had two whole chapters on "what to do when you're a boy but you feel like a girl" or vice versa. Keep in mind, nowhere in the text did it say "seek help" or "be concerned". I confiscated that book from her and kept it for future ammunition. Schools shouldn't even be attempting to teach kids about a topic that belongs in the family. Unfortunately, in a culture where the family is in disarray, someone must, and our educational system (public and private) has failed miserably with relativism and humanistic philosophies because even they don't know what they believe. And where is the church? Where they normally are when the subject really counts: sleeping, or waiting for Jesus to take us to heaven. Although the Santa Fe school is standing behind the teacher, in the past, condom demonstrations have accounted for a few teachers being suspended or even fired. You may recall last year, a Florida teacher was fired for doing a condom demonstration that included mood lighting, music, and a banana. But that's only when parents speak up. And how active are most parents in their kids schools? Not. Believe it or not, many school districts are actually hungry for solutions in the area of sex education, but the people who bring something tangible to the table get first dibs. Those people are usually blood-thirsty liberals. Even Europe is after solutions (now that's amazing). A Forbes article released yesterday noted the successes and failures of a peer-led sex education program in the United Kingdom, "A school-based sex education program taught by older students helped girls delay their first intercourse.Researchers said the goal of the project was to increase the number of teens practicing safe sex (whatever that is). The program helped "delay" girls' first intercourse? Dear God we've lowered our standards if this seems like a good thing. Then again, many places in Europe are as lewd as they come so it doesn't shock me their teenage pregnancy rate is so high. I suppose anything would be progress for a place like Amsterdam. If people expect the next generation to begin at a better place than our parents left off, this issue should be of top priority to everyone. I think I'm going to expound on this come Monday, there's another article about teenage sexual activity and the lack thereof that's peaked my interest. Comments |

I'm not a violent person really, but when it comes to certain things, I would probably be a good defense for gun control. I've long had issues with sex education and
