Texas Sex-Ed Textbooks Face Contraceptives Battle
Texas school boards are planning on approving four sex-ed books that mention only abstinence as a safe-sex and contraceptive choice. Way to go, Texas! Remaining irrationally fanatical as always! Wonderfully ignorant but consistent Texas!

Another "foreward to the past" way of thinking. Yay! *grumbles* Well I am not surprised, since they elected "W" Bush into office.
tursachan : Exactly. It's not SEX education anymore, it's abstinence education. But aren't they supposed to be teaching sex ed, legally I mean?
ArtisticSpirit : Well, "W" sure doesn't help, but I think that this is unfortunately a very common way of thinking. It's well meaning but I don't think it's fairly thought through.
Melly Durham : You're right. It certainly is the safest choice, but that's the point : it's a choice. There must be others for it to even qualify as a choice and some "kids" will be choosing something else.
Abstinence, although safe in the context of disease and economics (babies are expensive) is not necessarily the best choice. Although I don't really see why God should be promised something like this, if you believe in God, you believe that God created us as we are and if he hadn't wanted us to enjoy and have sex then he wouldn't have made it so pleasurable. Even children and animals understand this. It's only us "adults" that think that it is something dangerous, or holy, or for biological purposes only. I'm not saying that kids should be doing it, but rather that they are not made afraid of it. And as for saving sex for marriage, that's like saying I'm only going to think while I'm at work. (Of course, some of us actually do that... *laugh*)
Good topic and good conversation! Keep it going!
