The problem with this topic, that liberal policy involves inappropriate discussion in sex ed, is that conservatives think that truth and reality are inappropriate. The fact that teenagers have sex is inappropriate. The fact that gay and trans people exist is inappropriate. The fact that people should use protection is inappropriate. Answering people's questions about and correcting misconceptions derived from pop culture is inappropriate. The idea that anyone should know anything about sex before they're married and trying for a child is inappropriate. Do you know what I find inappropriate? The spread of STIs. Teen pregnancy. Gay and trans kids being beaten and kicked out of their homes. Knowingly lying to teenagers about their health. Opinions based on preconceptions instead of evidence. Conservatives have had their turn with abstinence only and it was an abject failure. The responsible thing for parents to do is to let people who care about facts and results and, most importantly, their kids, do what they are trained to do.

Her mother was a forceful authoritarian large woman (think 'big black momma' stereotype) who was a strong Roman Catholic. Her sex-ed to her many kids consisted of one day shaking her finger forcefully at them and telling them "You know the thing? Don't do the thing!". The kids didn't know what 'thing' she was talking about, but didn't want to ask. Later when this girl became pregnant as a teenager, she learned that the 'thing' she wasn't supposed to do was sex, because her mother kicked her out of the house and cut off support for her, due to her 'immoral' actions.
Sadly this sort of thing is all too common among the pacific island immigrant community here and their deep religiosity leads to them behaving nastily toward their family members who get pregnant out of wedlock. My sister who's a medical doctor observed first hand in hospital a pacific island girl get cut-off from her family after giving birth. It's terrible that at a time when the girl needs extra support and love and care that the family should respond with nastiness due to their silly religion."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostThat’s because you don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve served with people from about every background you can think of. From Ivy Leaguer that hail from New England to farm boys from the Midwest. Seen both getting into trouble due to sex. The military hands out birth control and condemns for free. A quick visit to your PCP or public health is all it takes. Yet STDs are rather common, people accidently getting pregnant, or being with the wrong person is still common, no matter the background. Sorry, but sex Ed does little to prevent people from thinking with the wrong body parts vs the head.

Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostI have to admit I am continually amazed by the long and storied history of the relationship between Christianity and sex. It seems to be such a continual theme.“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostThat you don’t get why it’s a theme. It’s because it’s a source of potentional trouble and a common one at that. There’s a reason for your observation.
Honestly, Pixie, I have no idea what you're trying to communicate. Possibly you did not understand my initial observation?The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King
