fist tap Intellectual InsurgentDr Charles Saunders, chairman of the British Medical Association’s Scottish consultants’ committee, warned that schools were leaving the safe-sex message so late that many teenagers were already exposing themselves to avoidable risk.
Saunders also called for secondary schools to hand out condoms and other forms of contraception to children from the age of 13…
Children taught sex education are more likely to have intercourse younger, says study By LAURA CLARK
Last updated at 1:30 AM on 03rd February 2010
Children taught abstinence are more likely to delay having sex than those given lessons about contraception, a study has found.
Half of pupils whose classes focused on safe sex went on to have intercourse within two years - compared with only a third of those whose lessons encouraged them to say no until ready.Last night the Government, which favours teaching about contraception, dismissed the research, insisting there was still 'no evidence' that abstinence education was effective.
The U. S. study looked at 662 black children aged 11 to 15, divided into four groups. Each was given a different type of education - eight hour-long abstinence-only classes, lessons on safe sex, classes using both approaches or lessons on general health with no sex element.Two years later, 33.5 per cent of abstinence-only students admitted having had sex, against 49 per cent of each of the other three groups. Professor John Jemmott, who published the results in the journal Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, said the study showed that abstinence classes could be effective in curbing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. He said: 'Abstinence-only interventions may have an important role in delaying sexual activity until a time later in life when the adolescent is more prepared to handle to consequences of sex.'

They just had this child-fool sue his school for teaching abstinence only classes BECAUSE HE CLAIMED IT DIDN'T TEACH THESE child-fools the unintended consequences of sex. He won...
So this child-fool KNOWS that there are potentially serious consequences for having sex and HE KNOWS that other child-fools are having sex BUT these child-fools DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROTECT THEMSELVES but still demand that delaying sex is wrong...
The insanity of those that claim authority over our lives is breathtaking. Cowards of the highest order are all around us.
Check the logic of the radical autonomist and child sex...
He claims abstinence-only education negates the reality of child sex AND leaves those child-fools in the dark ABOUT HOW TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF SEX.
First, He PRETENDS that child sex is a given. But IT IS ONLY BECAUSE HE GIVES IN TO IT.
Second, he PRETENDS that abstinence ISN'T the surest and most unequivocal way of AVOIDING THE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF SEX.
And lastly, he PRETENDS not to see how he is getting played by savy child-fools who want to have sex early BY PRETENDING TO BEING IGNORANT OF THE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF SEX.
So these male-fools PRETEND like they are protecting the child from the negative aspects of sex BUT REALITY SAYS OTHERWISE...
These male-fools want to maximize their autonomy and one of the surest ways to do this is attempt TO MAXIMIZE THE AUTONOMY OF child-fools...
Abstinence only REQUIRES ADULTS TO BE ADULTS and that is always an impediment to the radical autonomy of the male-fool.
So what would the pro-choicer say about abstinence versus sex education?
First, s/he would say all CHOICES are on the table...
But, because we live in the real world, A CHOICE MUST BE MADE and these mutually exclusive ideas CAN'T BE SYNERGIZED.
Clearly, the pro-choicer CHOOSES sex education BECAUSE abstinence-only IS NOT pro-choice.
Seen another way, pro-choicers CAN'T CHOOSE abstinence AND BE pro-choice...
The attempt to be such is evidence of radical autonomy.
So the TRUE pro-choicer MUST CHOOSE sex education.
The fall-out of such a position is clear right from the beginning. There are NO principled restraints on what sex education should include.
In fact, the pro-choice position SAYS ALL RESTRAINTS on sex education ARE anti-choice...
Therefore, the call for sex education IS AT ROOT a call to introduce younger and younger children to greater and greater amounts of sex and all the perversions it may entail in a totally liberated society.
Sex Ed. is for kids already having (or likely to have) sex at an early age.
UBJ,
Wrong... Sex education is so adults can have sex with younger and younger children.
Okay..., I'll give you that one.
I have some young cousins who were molested by women while in foster care.
Since finding this out, I now take every male to the local clinic on their 13th birthday.
Since they've already had sex (or have been hearing about it from their siblings from a young age) I want them to know how to protect themselves.
A couple of the boys are still virgins at graduation from high school, the others have no children (yet).
I'm not telling them not to have sex (that's their choice) but to be responsible when they do.
I had a bunch of STDs and girls that had abortions at an early age and I don't want them going through that headache.
UBJ provides a wonderful example of why sex education is necessary. Thanks for sharing such a compelling story UBJ!
Parents and guardians may not necessarily broach these topics, and in places where the guardians are harming the children sexually, information is needed.
I think the biggest problem with sex ed is how its been administered. In some situations, teachers do their jobs well and present INFORMATION. They do not try to push their lack of morals on the students and teach them about fisting! On the other hand, abstinence only is unrealistic and needs to be tempered with other sex ed, like condom usage and STD prevention.
And from being in a human sexuality class a few years ago at SFSU, I will also agree with ThorDaddy to an extent.There are some professors that believe that child molestation should be called adult child sexual relations and they endorse a controversial view about the 'harm' that child molestation causes. To that end, some of these types push to reduce or eliminate age of consent laws...UGH!
You all are missing the complexity of the point.
Public Schools = The Government
Accepted Sexual Behavior is a CULTURAL issue AND the level that is set/enforced has a direct impact upon a PEOPLE and their stability/family structure.
I supported sex education via some CULTURAL institution. I struggle to understand how a Government Operated School that fails to graduate 48% of their Black students is the best equipped entity to teach our children about SEX.
We keep debating sex ed/STD/abortion from the issue of SOCIAL JUSTICE RIGHTS.
WE NEED TO start looking at all of these from a perspective of CONSCIOUSNESS and community development.
No doubt about it that sex is a fact of life. (And its all good). It is a mistake to allow this practice to spiral away from the context of healthy male/female relationships and our family structure - the foundation of our people.
UBJ,
When we talk about sex education for the 8th-12th grade, it should be noted that the PROGRESSIVE INCLINATION is to teach sex education to the kindergarten through 6th grade. Clearly, this drive cannot be motivated by the idea that this demographic of kids is having so much consequential sex that they need be taught protective measures.
Now, the PROGRESSIVES usually rebut with the stories of child abuse and how these abused children need to be taught what is appropriate and inappropriate action from adults. But is that really sex education? And if it is then the whole idea of sex education is as constructive feedback says, way beyond the capabilities of the public school system. In fact, abstinence only education is the only feasible "sex education" that the public schools could possibly successfully administer.
Public Schools = The Government
Now you talkin'.
QUESTION: "Would you hand your 12 year old daughter a package of condoms"?
...
...
Then why in the Fuuug would you let the government hand your 12 year old daughter a package of condoms?
Public "Schools" need to teach reading.
They need to teach math.
They need to practice writing.
I don't even want them muhfuggas teaching History ... because gets taught is nothing but memes and propaganda.
My 7th grader was recently asked "Who was responsible for 911" on a state administered exam.
The "right" answer was Bin Ladin.
G.T.F.O.H.
Plantation Schools = Plantation Negro Factories.
I am sorry, that I interrupt you, but you could not give more information.
I think, what is it ?a false way. And from it it is necessary to turn off.
