Louisiana’s War On Sex Ed Is Crippling Health Research

“If we don’t know what the behaviors are, we have no basis to develop policy or identify priorities,” Freda Patterson, a public health researcher at Temple University, told BuzzFeed News.

There is a huge difference between conservatism and blind ignorance. Unfortunately southern states usually take their rights too far, to the point because-I-can is the only argument left. Free speech ends up with anti-Muslim protests, moral protection of children results in higher HIV rates.
It is impossible to save your kids from horrors of unprotected sex by simply ignoring the truth. there is nothing immoral in sex education and it is time for Louisiana to understand that.

 

[Anathema]

There's nothing immoral about sex ed when it's coming from the parents and us based upon both basic biology AND Morals. When it is undertaken by the Government and us forced to include immoral and disgusting acts while exempting ANY discussion of Morals and values there's a huge problem.

Only to idiologists.

So who ends up with the most HIV infections year after year in the US?

Is it not gay males? In fact, the CDC says that gay males only account for about 5% of the population but account for well over 60% of newly diagnosed AIDS cases every year.

Should this be taught in our schools as well? My guess your answer is no, because that scientific fact of life would be considered hate speech.

Hmmmm. How can one take a "right" too far?

We did a great job of keeping the Left away from our kid, thanks.

Removal of social stigmas from free sexual activities and unplanned births has resulted in unrestrained behavior that in turn results in increases of disease and unwanted pregnancies. Even in your hallowed 1960s, sluts were called sluts, and avoided by anyone with any class.

In addition, what value has teaching anal sex to fourth graders?

Just curious.

 

[cnm]

Ludicrous.

That law also says that sex education in Louisiana public schools must stress abstinence, and that teachers cannot distribute contraceptives.

​

Listen, just because children having sex is illegal in no way means they should be teaching in our schools that it should not be happening.

Just do like Obama does with illegal immigration, ignore laws you don't like.

 

[Anathema]

​

Not if the parents and their elected representatives say it isn't.

 

[gtopa1]

Ludicrous.

That's the best contraceptive quite frankly.

Huh?? Since when is sex with minors acceptable??

Greg

 

[cnm]

Listen, just because children having sex is illegal in no way means they should be teaching in our schools that it should not be happening.

And then when sex is legal for them they don't know how to go about it safely.

But it is not possible to preach practicality to idiologists.

The Bulgarian special.

“There is a huge difference between conservatism and blind ignorance.”

The evidence would indicate otherwise.

Adhering blindly to dogma while rejecting facts that conflict with that dogma is fundamentally conservative.

So people who don't screw around are more likely to get STDs???? Good luck with that liberal "fact"!!

Whereas placing one's Faith in the Government to protect you from all the world's evils and tell you how to live your life us fundamentally Liberal (and a sign of significant mental illness)

What exactly is your point?

And Right Wing parents will wonder why their 13 year old daughter got pregnant or got syphilis.

Q

And Right Wing parents will wonder why their 13 year old daughter got pregnant or got syphilis.

No they won't.... because the moment she gets pregnant they no longer have a daughter.

It happened to a childhood friend of my mother. She got pregnant at age 17 without being married. They literally had every trace of her removed from all family records. Her name was not acknowledged and she was sent to live with "daily friends" in Idaho (or so it was supposed)
