America's Problem With Sex Education

Given the comic failure of abstinence-only – 95% of Americans have premarital sex – isn't it time the US got over its hangup?

Though most American youth continue to learn about sex most everywhere but in school, there is some good news: according to a recent report from the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), the Obama administration and Congress in 2010 eliminated two thirds of federal funding for abstinence-only-until-marriage education, and, in a historic shift, allocated close to $190m for comprehensive sex education.

Isn't it time the liberal pedophiles leave our children alone and stop pushing their perverted agenda?

7:40 What???
We have children making children with other children, because of ignorance and poor parenting. Teen pregnancy and STD's are caused by liberal pedophiles?
Really? I am curious how you acquired this bit of knowledge.

"back in the day" we had a solid foundation. today; not so much.

the example is the "3 legged stool". 1 leg was good parenting that included lots of love, common sense and good morals, the 2nd leg was good churches with good moral and spiritual teaching and great fellowship with like minded believers, and the 3rd leg was the good teachers in our schools that backed up and reinforced all this training and teaching done in the home and church.

this gave us a good, solid foundation. unfortunately; when even just 1 of these legs are broken or compromised that foundation is gone and the "3 legged stool" will no longer function. can this be fixed? yes; i believe it can, but it will take a nation to humble themselves and call on God (the author and finisher of our faith) to forgive us as we seek to do His will in all we do.

He is willing, but i'm not sure many citizens are. we must continue to pray and believe because there is forgiveness and restoration to those who believe.

what a secure, bright and happy future this land would have if we were to do this. something to think and pray about......
