Object: Poll says parents overwhelmingly back abstinence education
Give the people what they want, education tempered with morals and
decency. Abstinence when practiced works.
http://www.onenewsnow.com/2007/05/poll_says_parents_overwhelming.php
A new survey shows the majority of parents across the U.S., regardless
of their economic or ethnic background, support abstinence education
over comprehensive sex education. The National Abstinence Education
Association is touting a new Zogby International poll that shows
American parents favor abstinence education over comprehensive sex
education by a two-to-one margin.
The National Abstinence Education Association (NAEA) is drawing
attention to the Zobgy survey, which claims when parents become aware
of what abstinence education teaches versus what comprehensive sex
education teaches, support for abstinence programs jumps from 40
percent to 60 percent, while support for condom-based "safe-sex"
programs drops from 50 percent to 30 percent.
NAEA executive director Valerie Huber says she is convinced there has
been a "misinformation campaign" about abstinence education throughout
the media.
"Once parents understood that abstinence education is really holistic
and includes some of the core components, such as building healthy
relationships, strengthening self-control, developing skills that will
improve their chances for a healthy future marriage, and even the
benefits of choosing abstinence after being sexually active," Huber
notes, "parents want that message given to their teens."
The NAEA official says she hopes the results of the Zogby poll will
inform the debate in state legislatures and Congress over funding for
sex education in schools. "Most parents do reject the so-called
'comprehensive' sex education approach because it promotes and
demonstrates condom use," she asserts. "They think it sends a mixed
message and it crosses the line to actually encourage sexual
activity."
Two out of three parents indicate that the mixed message of
comprehensive sex education "is not something that they want their
children to receive," Huber points out. She says most parents want
their kids to hear a strong abstinence message and, if there is a
discussion of contraception, that it should detail the "realistic
limitations" of condoms and other contraceptives in preventing
pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases.

Tell every gay and abortionist traitor that the public schools are REQUIRED
BY LAW to teach the children what the parents want taught, and to take their
criminal agenda back to the closet where it came from.

Not at all. Education isn't a popularity contest.
Besides, there are no "abortionists".
and to take their

What's wrong with a proper sexual education course?
Why do countries with a more liberal attitude toward sexuality have
much lower teen pregnancy and teen abortion rates?

How can people that do not exist except in your imagination be told
anything? And why should anyone lie just because you demand it? And
how can people take something that exist only in your imagination
anywhere?
There are no traitors in the public schools. Teachers and
administrators in public schools generally do not have the
inclination, resources, or opportunities to become traitors.
The state sets what is required by law to be taught, and in most
cases, the parents have little to no say in the matter. Remember,
every parent has their own ideas about what their children should be
taught and should not be taught, and public schools do not have the
time, money, or resources to completely individualize teaching to the
degree that you are ignorantly suggesting. Therefore, the state
creates its requirements according to federal law and by what is best
for the greatest number of students, with enough room built in to
handle the exceptionally bright and talented as well the the below
average students, as well as to handle special religious and personal
beliefs of the parents to a degree.
And that "criminal agenda" only exists in you imagination.

Then they should teach their children that. I wish them well. I also hope
they adjust to life with grandchildren in the house while their teen mother
is still in high school. If their teen mother stays in high school.

The funny part is that these idiots need a poll to tell them that parents
back abstinence. Of course they back abstinence, but is it reality? Not
likely.

Kind of a waste of taxpayer money, yes?
"After a 10-year run, federally funded "abstinence-only" education faces a
reversal of fortunes this year.
Two recent studies -- one that found federally funded abstinence
programs do not affect teenage sexual behavior and another that found that
"almost all" American adults have sex before marrying -- are adding momentum
to the argument that abstinence-only education is folly."

Yeah teenagers and abstinence only education. It is like handing out

http://www.onenewsnow.com/2007/05/poll_says_parents_overwhelming.php

Incidentally, interested a.a'ers should go and look at
the poll itself. It's a hoot. The basic format
of most questions is something like "Would you like
your kids to be educated acccording to the good,
just, decent, and right principles of abstinence,
or would you like your children to be exposed to
Satan's plan of comprehensive sex education?"
I exaggerate, of course. But the wording of the questions
is without a doubt biased. Check it out for yourself.
That said, lessee here:
Question 3: Would you rather your child be educated in the classroom
in Comprehensive Sex Educatin courses, or in Abstinence Education
courses?


Comprehensive Sex Education: 49.9
Abstinence Education 39.9

Did you actually READ this thing, `J'?
Question 14: Do you (level of agreement) that learning to correctly use
contraceptives, including condoms, is best for your
child's health and future?

Strongly Agree 56.9
Some Agreement 21.4
Some Disagreement 7.3
Strongly Disagree 12.5



Did you actually READ the thing, `J'?
Yes, I'm cherrypicking. But the fact that it was so easy to
do so tells you something about the poll, doesn't it?

Hit it right on the head there, `J': "when practiced".
Although on second thought, we'd better define "works".
Since those signing virginity pledges have been shown
to have higher rates of oral and anal intercourse,
and STD rates comparable to those not pretending

Read your source, what you claim and what it states...two different things.
Close...but different.
By the way, I support teaching abstinence, as well as other methods of
prevention.
It should all be taught. The problem isn't so much the teaching, it's our
youth's mindset today.
A LOT different than when our parents and grandparents were growing up.

Nope. They fucked like bunnies too.


Sure, people had sex. But the mind set, attitudes, morals, and other
factors were different.
It wasn't until the late 60's that people started openly expressing
themselves, becoming more adventurous and taking more risk...STD's became an
issue.

Hmmm:
STDs:

1950 341.52 per 100,000
1960 215.12 per 100,000
1970 343.18 per 100,000
1980 485.91 per 100,000
1990 333.44 per 100,000
1999 400.52 per 100,000

Pretty much seems to bounce around a median value which
doesn't move all that much. Given that there is a great
deal more public awareness and testing than there was
when I was a kid, I'd say that things haven't really
changed too much.
(source: CDC publication which, sadly,seems to have been moved,
it was at http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/pubs/pubd/hus/tables/2001/01hus052.pdf)


Today, society turns it's head and isn't teaching children to be responsible
any more. STD's and deadly ones at that, are the issue.

And we still, just look the other way.

No, it wasn't the same in our parents and grandparents day. It's worse
today.

If you wish to turn your head and pretend it isn't happening, that's on you.

I support the teaching of abstinence, as well as all methods of
contraception. I support teaching children that "hooking" up is dangerous,
and having multiple partners is dangerous and could cost them their lives.
I don't turn my head.

I won't disagree with any of that.

I support the teaching of abstinence, as well as all methods of
contraception. I support teaching children that "hooking" up is
dangerous,
and having multiple partners is dangerous and could cost them their
lives.
I don't turn my head.


I won't disagree with any of that.

Read your source, what you claim and what it states...two different
things.

Close...but different.

By the way, I support teaching abstinence, as well as other methods of
prevention.

It should all be taught. The problem isn't so much the teaching, it's
our youth's mindset today.

A LOT different than when our parents and grandparents were growing
up.


Nope. They fucked like bunnies too.


Sure, people had sex. But the mind set, attitudes, morals, and other
factors were different.
It wasn't until the late 60's that people started openly expressing
themselves, becoming more adventurous and taking more risk...STD's became
an
issue.


Hmmm:

STDs:

1950 341.52 per 100,000
1960 215.12 per 100,000
1970 343.18 per 100,000
1980 485.91 per 100,000
1990 333.44 per 100,000
1999 400.52 per 100,000

Pretty much seems to bounce around a median value which
doesn't move all that much. Given that there is a great
deal more public awareness and testing than there was
when I was a kid, I'd say that things haven't really
changed too much.

(source: CDC publication which, sadly,seems to have been moved,
it was at
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/pubs/pubd/hus/tables/2001/01hus052.pdf)


Good argument, and I concede to your point.

What? You do WHAT?
Geez, where's the fun in that? :-)

That's one of the more ridiculous thing you've said to date. Earth
to Osprey: "Ozzie and Harriet" was TV, not real life.
Why don't you read <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey_Reports>? In
particular, "Kinsey estimated that approximately 50% of all married
males had some extramarital experience at some time during their
married lives." That's *during* their married lives, not an indication
of how many did it before marriage. Or try reading
<http://www.mclemee.com/id127.html>, where you will read that
"Kinsey's results were startling and unambiguous. People were having
more sex, of more kinds -- and in the process, breaking more taboos
and laws -- than anyone had previously imagined."
Or try <http://www.lacitybeat.com/article.php?id=1658&IssueNum=88>,
which has the following quote:
"In America, sex is an obsession; in other parts of the world,
it is a fact." -- Marlene Dietrich
My guess is the Marlene Dietrich knew a lot more about what was going
on at the time than you do.

Ask anyone in their 60s and you'll probably find that they got *zero*
sex education in school. Meanwhile, try
<http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/he/se/>. You'll read that
The California Comprehensive Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS
Prevention Education Act (Education Code [EC] sections
51930-51939), has two primary purposes:
* To provide a pupil with the knowledge and skills
necessary to protect his or her sexual and reproductive
health from unintended pregnancy and STDs;
* To encourage a pupil to develop healthy attitudes
concerning adolescent growth and development, body
image, gender roles, sexual orientation, dating,
marriage, and family.
These sections of the EC address both comprehensive sexual
health education and HIV/AIDS prevention education. The law
requires that HIV/AIDS prevention education is taught once in
middle school and once in high school, and states that if
comprehensive sexual health education is taught, the local
educational agency (LEA) must abide by all tenets of EC
51933. The LEA may not pick and choose topics.
This is all things you should know, and I shouldn't have to look

should know.

Whether they "should" doesn't matter. Some don't because they are too

Nope. They fucked like bunnies too.


Sure, people had sex. But the mind set, attitudes, morals, and
other factors were different. It wasn't until the late 60's that
people started openly expressing themselves, becoming more
adventurous and taking more risk...STD's became an issue.


Osprey obviously believes the wingnut propaganda.


That statement shows your complete and total disregard for the truth.

No, it's pretty accurate. You're well-known for parroting right-wing
propaganda.

Give the people what they want, education tempered with morals

Hit it right on the head there, `J': "when practiced".


Although on second thought, we'd better define "works".
Since those signing virginity pledges have been shown
to have higher rates of oral and anal intercourse,
and STD rates comparable to those not pretending
to "practice", does that still fit your definition of "works?


Cite? Source? Something to support your statement????


Not a problem:

Read your source, what you claim and what it states...two different
things.


Close...but different.


By the way, I support teaching abstinence, as well as other methods of
prevention.


It should all be taught. The problem isn't so much the teaching, it's
our youth's mindset today.

You're really naive if you think that STD became in issue only in the
1960s.
People had sex before that period, you know?
As for STD, the problem was WAY bigger in the 19th century and at the
beginning of the 20th century than it is now.
