If you think for one minute that abstinence education gets a lot of funding, think again.  There are dozens of condom conventions done on your dime - with no shame!  From lube-tasting to condom games, the condom promoters are in full force.  This next one coming up is Sex Tech - basically finding new ways [...]

Recently I wrote about the trend in public schools to push an “if it feels
good, do it” brand of sex education on our kids. Those who write the “health
education” curriculum, oversee the lesson plans and have the greatest
authority in education believe that [...]

I’ve been told that if I’d been a parent in the 1950s, I probably would have spoken out against Elvis Presley’s pelvic thrust as a dance move. The theory is that teens of every generation will find their own ways to rebel against the cultural norm, and that parents from one generation to the next [...]

I just read a report from CWA that this year alone, 15.3 MILLION Americans will contract a NEW sexually transmitted disease.  2-4 MILLION of those will be teenagers!  That means that every day, 8,000 teens contract a NEW STD.  Not to mention any they already had.

A HUGE thanks from parents all over the country goes out to Joanna Respold who in her blog entry of 1/23/09 stood up to Henry Waxman and his sexualization of the children of America.  It’s awesome to see a young lady who seems to have it all together get up and tell the World that [...]

The LA Tmes recently reported that concerns are still growing about the Gardasil vaccine, the supposed “first ever cancer vaccination.”  While reading this story, I came across this quote.  “The crux of it is that we know how to prevent cervical cancer,” Dr. Karen Smith-McCune says.  She then goes on to say that it’s with [...]

The “tragic outcomes” of two recent pregnancies among Texas teenagers shows that abstinence-only sex education programs are “not working,” Peter Durkin, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas, writes in a Houston Chronicle opinion piece.  Durkin adds, “Sex education should begin “at home with parents…”
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen [...]
