a waste of money a waste of time

you can lobby all you want. you can email all you want. you can do the ABSOLUTE WRONG THING and ignore ALL of the facts and attempt to instill abstinence only 'sex education' in our schools. kids are STILL going to 'get busy' and kids are STILL going to get stds and kids are STILL going to get pregnant. do you want them to be afraid to tell you? do you want them to do something rash? OR do you want to tell your kids the truth. GIVE THEM FACTS and resources and avenues to take? do you want them to TALK TO YOU HONESTLY?

be honest with them. give them some credit. teach them ABOUT sex and ABOUT safety and ABOUT their bodies and they'll be honest back at ya!

ABSTINENCE ONLY 'EDUCATION' IS DANGEROUS. NOT ONLY THAT IT DOESN'T WORK

U.S. Campaign to Promote Abstinence Begins
Groups Are Enlisting Parents in Effort to Lobby for Changes in Sex Education

By Rob Stein Washington Post Staff Writer
Proponents of sex education programs that focus on encouraging abstinence are launching a nationwide campaign aimed at enlisting 1 million parents to support the controversial approach.
The National Abstinence Education Association, a Washington-based advocacy group, said that it sent e-mails last week to about 30,000 supporters, practitioners and parents to try to recruit participants and plans to e-mail 100,000 this week as part of the first phase of the $1 million campaign.
The e-mail is promoting the Parents for Truth campaign, which the group hopes will eventually involve 1 million parents nationwide to lobby local schools to adopt sex education programs focusing on abstinence and to work to elect local, state and national officials who support the approach.
"There are powerful special interest groups who can far outspend what parents can in terms of promoting their agenda. But we recognize that parents more than make up for that by their determination and motivation to protect their own children," said Valerie Huber, the group's executive director. ........
