To SC
By Tina from "The Study" post

Yes...some parents do rely on the schools to teach sex ed...and from the time this trend began until now, we have seen many more reports of more teens and adults who have had children out of wedlock, more reports of STD's,
and many more children who are having sex at earlier ages. The abundance of sex-related exposure that our lastest generation is constantly bombarded with through the media could possibly be a direct result of the institutionalization of sexual information that people WORKING in the media were exposed to several decades ago in their own institutionalized sexual education. If that's the

case, then Sex Ed in school is contributing to the problem, not solving it.
If the argument can be made that a classroom consisting of a majority of children who are Christian can't say a prayer together before eating their noon meal because the one child who is not a Christian and who chooses not to pray could be singled out and possibly rejected by his peers, then why is that same argument not made for the children who can't participate in Sex Ed because their parents didn't sign a permission form? Why can't we just sign a consent form to let our kids say the pledge with the inclusion of our God?
(That may be getting a little off the subject, but it really was crucial to my argument about the parental consent forms.)
