POPSSigning Off On Sex Ed Sex ed came into being because kids weren't getting the necessary information to protect themselves. If parents treat sex as a taboo subject at home they are likely not to have their children attend a sex ed class.

POPSSex and Gender
In fact, behind your question is the fundamental problem of the degree to which behaviour is innate and to which it is acquired – an essential question that philosophers and scientists have been debating for centuries. This remains an ideologically-charged subject, which the media adore. Absolutely. The media often echo works that argue that cerebral specialisation differs between male and female. They say, for example, that language functions are undertaken by both hemispheres only in women’s brains. What do you say? The theories on the hemispheric differences between the sexes in language appeared over thirty years ago. They have not been confirmed by recent brain imaging studies which allow us to see the living brain at work. These theories are often based on observations carried out on very small samples – often a dozen people.

POPSHeadlines Many Would Love To See Don't think it could ever happen? Well, no one ever thought a draft-dodging, pot-smoking, intern-groping perjurer could get elected president twice, be impeached, and then make a viable bid to become first "lady."

The only method proven 100% to protect against pregnancy & STDs & they want to do away with it. Such is the logic of our politicians these days. Lack of morals & self-control run rampant in DC & in today's youth. Heck, sexually speaking, our society's morals & self-control has been increasingly declining since the 60's.

POPSGovernment Program Aimed at Teen Pregnacy Fails Once again the enlightened and educated amongst us prove once again that COMMON SENSE has died. These government programs in England and in New York are destined to fail because of the very foundation they are attempting to build upon. Instead of teaching these AT RISK young ladies about self-esteem, and the virtues of a chaste lifestyle, they reason that since these girls are going to have sex anyway we might as well teach them about sex. And like every other government mandated program IT FAILED! Not only did it fail it FAILED miserably.The truth is it made the matter worse than if they would have left the girls alone. Sound familiar?

POPSTexas: The state of sex (mis)education Suicide, death, murder? These programs gotta be pretty good at scaring teens out of having sex, right? Mmm, not exactly.

POPSReview Group: Sex education should respect faith values Ugh, faith schools will be allowed to pervert sexual education classes to fit their faiths. In other words, expect more 'abstinence only' sex ed classes. And classes that teach homosexuals are not worthy of the rights other humans get. Wonderful!
