FAMILY

By Rebecca Hagelin, Monday Brief, PATRIOT POST, 5 May 2008

EXCERPT:

“Who could argue with the idea that, when it comes to sex education, our teenagers should be taught to say ‘no’?

Considering what’s at stake (their health, their future, their dignity as human beings, their morality)—and because we love them and want what’s best for them—nothing short of a clear-cut abstinence message will do. At least, that’s how it appears out here in the Real World...

Our teens deserve better than just a condom and a message to ‘be safe.’ Our children are not animals, incapable of controlling themselves. They are not hopelessly immoral creatures who are going to ‘do it anyway.’
Yet ‘comprehensive’ sex ed teaches them that they’re just that.

Parents, this is a slander against our youth. It’s a lie—one that we must fight. Teaching abstinence may be hard work—and heaven knows it’s not going to win you any popularity contests. But for the sake of our teens, there’s simply no substitute. In the end, you’re the only real ‘protection’ they’ve got. So don’t let them down.”
