Go for the Juglar

Lets call a spade a spade shall we? The numbers have proved time and again that telling kids not to screw when their homones are running full throttle is like trying to stop a train with your mind. It just isn't gonna happen. In fact a few studies have shown that kids actually screw more anally and orally as a result. Anyway, details aside - abstinance does fucking (lol) NOTHING to slow teen pregnancy, all it does is promote risky sex and misunderstanding. Well two groups are taking a new tact on the issue, read on....

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Two organizations that promote sex education are taking an unorthodox approach in their fight against federal funding of abstinence-only education programs.

Relying on a little-used law that allows ''affected persons'' to seek the correction of information disseminated by federal agencies, the groups said Tuesday that the abstinence education programs contain erroneous and ineffective information. They asked the Health and Human Services Department to correct it.

Facts are - people are getting money from our government to promote such shit as "Condoms are not an effective means of preventing AIDS". Ok that's wrong. Plain wrong. Still I doubt these guys are doing more than just making a splash in the AP. The sad truth is that the Bush cronie in charge of "Administration for Families and Children" recently said this about abstinence funding with a straight face in front of congress...

''They help people develop inner strength, help them take charge of their lives, and redirect their energies into healthy and productive choices,'' Horn said. ''While the evidence is still being collected, we are seeing the benefits of a strong abstinence message.''

Evidence? Bullshit. You know it, I know it and Reverend "Gimme Yo Money so I can Preach to teh kids on the Gov'ts Buck" knows it. Yeah it's a dog day for the great unwashed out there, with Uncle Sam handing out the green to every card carrying evangelist. Money + Bullshit > Truth - that's the bottom line.

Heh, yeah teaching abstinence to kids whose parents never really bothered raising their kids with any notion of ethics or morality is pretty much pointless. Even against kids raised by parents who did, hormones are still really strong.

If they are going to teach abstinence-only, they need to put more thought into making sure kids are grossed out to the point where some of them might listen or at least get wised up enough to learn about protection on their own.
i.e. Have an "affected person" who has HIV or something talk about how much better it would have been if they'd held off, but that the fault also lay with them for not using good protection, etc. That way it's not the health teacher violating any laws since it appears there's some loophole.

It's sad that things have fallen so far, but they need to pass out condoms in health class and make certain that everyone can demonstrate the proper way to apply and remove one. I know that lots of parents would start bursting blood vessels over that one soooo...

What needs to happen is that parents must sign and return waivers to school if they don't want their children participating in such classes. OR to sign a document saying it's OK for them to participate. Then, knowing how kids are, You can be sure that those not in the classes would probably find out one way or the other from someone else at least.

Enrolling for such a class might be better rather than waiving out of it so that You can avoid the stigma of kids being ostracized because their parents are prudes (which will not improve the kid's demeanor and attitude on sex). It would also make the kids who didn't attend interested and ask those who did. i.e. Curiosity might save the pussy this time.

Hell... I bet some parents would sign their kids up for such a class *just* so that they don't have to give them the old Birds and the Bees talk themselves!

You want descriptions? Get a dictionary. Better go waste time reading the news or play some games on Yahoo or MSN or some shit like that.
