So.....lemmie get this right......
Most of you think that providing sex education in school is wrong? Well......considering that most parents today don't take the time to educate their children, or, if they do, generally the parents aren't as well informed as their kids. Most families have both parents working, with the children in after school programs or latch key kids (of which I was one).
Don't you think that providing good solid information about pregnancy prevention, as well as birth control belongs WITH abstinence education instead of nothing but telling them "just say no"?
It's one thing to teach kids about reproduction and the mechanics of birth control (provided they're of a reasonable age). It's a completely different matter to user in "sex ed" to 4-5 year olds under the guise of teaching them to avoid predators. Assisting young girls to obtain abortions without the knowledge of their parents is also far, far outside the realm of the school's authority. But that's what school counselors do.
Likewise I think it is a travesty of the education for school counselors to lead confused teens to groups such as the Gay and Lesbian groups. I can't remember what that group is called, but for it to exist and be funded by public education dollars, and for school counselors to take it upon themselves to guide impressionable children into such groups is disgusting and outside the realm of public education. Which is the main reason it's so hush-hush.
