ABCs, 123s, and STDs

I didn't write that headline. It's the actual title of the piece but I couldn't have come up with something better and it seems to fit.

The president of NOW, Kim Gandy says that abstinence and "Just Say NO" aren't working and that kids are coming up empty handed vis-a-vis sex education.

I don't come down on either side of this, honestly. I grew up with enough ignoramuses to know that sex education can be helpful to a kid whose parents just can't explain these things or even cared to do so. More than few I doubt were even capable of trying.

That being said, I wouldn't want my kids, if I had any, to learn about the birds and bees from the likes of NOW or any other leftie busy-body. All too often these people have supplemental agendas that involve alternative lifestyles, abortion and of course, gender politics. All of which have very little to do with Jimmy wondering if he can use tinfoil for a contraceptive. These people aren't interested in illuminating or defining a path through the myriad of consequences that modern sex entails. They want money and they want it to push something other than what they claim to be offering.

What kills me though, is that the Church knows full well that if you put a bunch of young people in a room and wave the prospect of having sex by way of arranging quick and easy marriages that the kids will marry and hook up. I wonder why NOW thinks that even with the best of intentions, that these horny teenagers won't take sex education as consent to have sex.

P.S. Me and my stoner buddies would've kicked up a right ruckus asking stupid questions like "Can you use tinfoil as a condom?". Just ask Sex with Sue who got more than one hopped up call from us.
