Minnesota Family Council Action Alert

Tell your legislators not to mandate a program that’s infecting our kids

March 24, 2008

 

Wednesday, March 26, 2008, the Senate E-12 Education Budget Division committee will hear a bill S.F. 3001 (Wiger) what includes a provision to mandate comprehensive sex education for children grades 7-12.  Contact your legislator now and tell them to oppose a statewide mandate to teach children comprehensive sex education - every year - to children grades 7-12.

 

A recent Center for Disease Control study reported that one in four teenage girls are infected with a sexually transmitted disease - nearly 50% for African American girls - despite years of condom-based sex education.

 

The answer, say comprehensive sex ed advocates, is mandatory comprehensive sex education that encourages teens to engage in unhealthy sexual behaviors, giving them the illusion that using condoms makes it safe.  In other words, mandating more of what has produced alarming rates of STD's among teens.

 

Do you really want big government counseling your kids or grandkids when to become sexually active, how many partners to have, or what kind of sex acts to engage in?

 

The bill, deceptively named Responsible Family Life and sexuality Education Programs promotes condoms, dental dams and contraceptive use while encouraging acceptance of alternative sexual lifestyles and unhealthy behaviors such as anal sex and anal-oral sex.

 

How does that make you feel about your children's or grandchildren's chances to avoid infection?

 

Contact your legislator now and tell them to oppose a statewide mandate to teach children  – every year - unhealthy sex activities like anal and anal-oral sex.

 

Tell them one in four is too many.
