Sex Ed Gets Another Failing Grade

11:35 AM - Jun. 18, 2007 - Add to the Wildness

Today's HSLDA e-report included a link to a LifeSite article discussing a report on the relative ineffectiveness of sex ed as compared to abstinence teaching. (The original report is also available.)

I'm about to have a heart attack and die from not-surprise.

Oddly, one of the things that jumped out at me was the mixed feelings I had about the subtle phrasing related to "high-risk" groups. I'm not sure I can pinpoint it, but I didn't like the phrase "poor African or American single-parent" families. It just seemed like a bad way to combine words.

Iago,

First, you watch far too many Disney videos. Second, that is a classic line... works for so many occassions!

My husband is in East LA... so I am playing blog catch-up. Sorry to hear about church politics. Just close your eyes and sing, "Come Lord Jesus, come..."

BTW, you've been tagged. See my blog for the scoop.
