ALCU and Abstinence
Published by anonymous January 8th, 2010 in AbstinenceI think whoever this writer is, they hit the nail on the head. We need to take back our schools (and our country). Please read the following and see if you agree:
I am pro-abstinence for young people for the basic reason that sex is really messing up people’s lives and needs to be returned to a place of respect in social thought. But I am an American and I am furious that the ACLU is following these Healthy Youth Acts around the country and threatening lawsuits if school districts do not follow the law “exactly”.
Schools in Sonoma County, CA are the latest to be faced with ACLU threats. It sounds like the schools have offered what the law requires but the schools also kept in place a peer-education program called Free to Be, which kids is telling kids that abstinence is a liberating experience that has many benefits. The schools, parents and students must like the program–invitations have been extended for 18 years. That doesn’t matter at all–ACLU says it’s illegal and has to go.
One wonders if the ACLU is bothering to investigate whether all those programs which it does not threaten are evidence-based and effective according to the legal standards. My guess is those standards only apply to any approach that emphasizes abstinence. Who gave folks with a political agenda the right to dictate what is taught in schools anyway? Americans need to take back their schools. There is plenty of evidence that they and our children are going to hell in a hand basket!
