Obama : Dang, now less children will get STD’s ...

Is that what he’s thinking? I mean, I don’t get it.

When my daughter turned 13 I told her flat out: “When you have sex as a teenaged girl there are 10 things that can happen and nine of them are bad. Plus, I guarantee that if you are scrunched up in the back seat of some guy’s car with your prom dress around your head then ten out of ten things will be bad.”

I’m guessing what he’s thinking is that now HIS children might be told that actions have consequences by somebody in the know. Of course, that would be punishing them just like not getting an abortion, right?

They were refusing FOIA request, until they were swamped with them. Obama and his administration are all scumbags!

Well, so much for Baraq's School Faggotry Czar getting a shot at more victims with no conflicting documentation...

Chad Hills, a social policy analyst with CitizenLink, added, “This information would better inform policymakers concerning the standard which a majority of the public wants them to uphold in public education. If they are not fully informed, how can they establish good policies?

With all due respect Mr. Hills, your naivete is showing. These studies are meant to merely legitimize a priori (before the fact) doctrinally-based policy decisions. To actually take time to gather the facts and have policy makers wait until they have analyzed them to formulate policies is so...so gauche.

Tsk, tsk Mr. Hills. And you a policy analyst.
