Sex Ed Should Not Promote Only Marriage or Heterosexual Relationships, Advocates Say

CNSNews.com) -- A coalition of liberal sex education advocates says the Obama administration and the Democrat-controlled Congress will end support for abstinence-only programs that emphasize marriage and heterosexual relationships.
 
“The appropriations bills this year represent the most profound change in national sex education policy that we have ever had in the history of this country,” said William Smith, vice president for education and training with the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), at an event held Thursday on Capitol Hill.

“It’s also a message that absolutely and completely ignores gay and lesbian people – students, families, anyone,” Kempner said. “Helping young people develop relationships with people of the opposite sex is its stated purpose. There’s videos, there’s games. Whatever it is, it’s all about heterosexual relationships.”
 
Virginity pledges, Kempner added, not only don’t keep teens from having sex, but they also unfairly target homosexuals.

“I think we have to remember that the bias is probably the strongest when we ask all the kids in the class to sign a virginity pledge,” Kempner said. “They are going to be asked to stay abstinent until marriage.”
 
“Asking a gay or lesbian teen to sign this in high school is tantamount to asking them to agreeing to a lifetime without sexual behavior,” she said. “These programs are really made --  I would say they are made -- for a heterosexual classroom, but they are really made for a heterosexual world and obviously that’s inappropriate.”

Cuz we all know that homosexuals don't make that decision for themselves, they're born that way. [/DU mode]

And apparently they are also born with an inability to keep their pants on...

In an individual who is decidedly not emotionally mature, how is it even remotely possible that such an individual absolutely, completely, without doubt knows that he/she is gay/lesbian?

Utter, complete nonsense.

I thought sex ed was about birth control?

That's not even an issue for fags and dykes unless this idiot is REALLY confused.

Not just birth control. Appendage A fits into orifice B. Repeat if necessary.

ABORTION
SIECUS believes that every woman, regardless of age or income, should have the right to obtain an abortion under safe, legal, affordable, easily accessible, confidential, and dignified conditions. Every woman is entitled to have full knowledge of the options available to her, and to obtain complete and unbiased information and counseling.


No More Money
SIECUS created the No More Money campaign to help colleagues and individuals demand that the federal government end these harmful programs. The campaign’s website provides a history of abstinence-only-until-marriage programs, detailed information on federal spending on over the last two decades, and analysis on why these programs are such a waste of taxpayer dollars.

We are so ****ED! I fear we have gone past the point of no return. We were so busy making a living, raising our families, being generally productive citizens, that the liberal asshats, with nothing better to do than spend tax payer dollars, have screwed us!

I doubt we will ever be able to repeal the damage that has accompanied the liberal way into socialist oblivion!
