NC Ping!

Wake would become one of a handful in the state where students could learn about homosexuality, masturbation, specifics on how to use birth-control devices

Morality aside, I can think of no greater waste of taxpayer money than teaching teenagers about masturation. What's next, giving swimming lessons to fish?

I was real close to letting my son talk me into letting him attend public school next year. No longer. Home school or bust!

The liberals in Raleigh will eventually contaminate the entire state, it is over for this once conservative state.

[Constitution Day]

This is something that the N&O's very own feminist, Ruth Sheehan, has been covering lately.

See her latest column about Ann Farmer, quoted above, at the link here: Sex ed and the crusader.

From the article:
"What started out as a natural concern for her own daughter, then 10, has grown into a mission.
At this point, Farmer's daughter, Jessica, is a high school senior and is being home-schooled.
But Farmer has not given up the fight."

Whether or not the board agrees with the recommendation is irrelevant. The fact that they're even debating it tells the story.

Government schools for ya.

[antaresequity]

You see...they just keep moving the goal posts...when this is approved the next debate will be wether to allow sex on campus and live demonstrations...the whole thing is a sick amoral spiral.

Nobody even debates wether the schools should even be involved in this nonsense...No No....

Pathetic

[Intimidator]

Yeah, my wife is a kindergarten teacher at Wiley Elementary in Raleigh. She just interviewed for a 4th grade position at Padeia Christian academy in Cary. She got the job. I don't have to worry about my kids anymore.

[Salvation]

Is this what they need to see to get a broader view of life?

"It is time for us to leave our political and religious differences at the door and look after the best interests of the students," said parent Ann Farmer.

Yeah.
Like teach our children the intricacies of anal sex.
Yeah, right.

Perverts.
Dimwits.

They are revelling in the destruction of children's innocence.
Another good reason to remove your children from the government school system.
And work towards its ultimate dismantling.

To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves is sinful and tyrannical. -- Thomas Jefferson

If the board agrees, Wake would become one of a handful in the state where students could learn about homosexuality, masturbation, specifics on how to use birth-control devices and other topics now prohibited by the abstinence-until-marriage theme.

Does not mention pro-life in this lead sentence. I wonder why? </sarcasm off-----

[hillary's_fat_a**]

HA! The good folks in NC are way behind the times; here in MA, the kids are being taught advanced topics like fisting! Just shows how much more advanced we Yankees are! < /sarcasm>

"You need to get comprehensive education at an earlier age when they're the most sexually interested," said Devereaux Munn...

There's a parallel here with the world of drug use. In "A Primer of Drug Action" Dr. Rosen explained that a clear, factual approach to drug education was the best for avoiding hysteria and magical beliefs about pharmacology. However, he stated that "comprehensive drug education has led to INCREASED use..." by educating those who either are or are wishing to take drugs in the limits of safe use, not avoidance.

So why not tell the kiddies all about it? And be sure and do it "when they're the most sexually interested". Pathetic!

[Sabertooth]

Public schools can't successfully teach Math, English, History, or Geography to many of their students.

But rather than the schools devoting more time and energy to those subjects, we're supposed to trust that they have a handle on Sex Ed?

[Ol' Sparky]

This panel believes in abstinence for teens and that's why they must be taught how to have anal and oral sex? Unbelieveable. It's time to get the kids out of these schools before their lives are destroyed by perverse sex ed teachers that get off on teaching the details of sex acts.

[Salvation]

Is this school in Wake Forest?
Raleigh?
High school

I tried to find a homepage on the internet, but could not. Ask Jeeves have a good layout for finding schools. Can you find an email address? Phone #?

[texlok]

They need to teach something about birth control. There is a teen pregnancy problem, and this current crop of parents (not counting freepers mind you) has not done a very good job of pushing abstinence. We don't need more people on welfare, and it would cut down on abortions, which would be a good thing.

I'm sure I'll get flamed (perhaps even as a racist ;-) since any discussion of welfare brings race into the equation ;-) ), but since abstaining from sex hasn't been pushed enough by their parents (if at all), I'd rather see kids using condoms than having abortions or going on welfare.

[Helix]

I am livid about this.

So am I. Fortunately, I live in a fairly rural/conservative area. This wouldn't even be an option to the principal (and most teachers) at our elementary school. However, unless we can stop this now, I'll need to find another option for middle and high school.

[Overtaxed]

They'll hire pedophiles to teach the classes too (how much you want to bet?)

[glc1173@aol.com]

Who controls the government schools of this state anyhow? Bureaucrats, parents, or taxpayers?

Several years ago, a government school administrator whose family is in Greensboro even wrote a guest column for the Greensboro News & Record saying that taxpayers didn't know what a school was for!
