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.
