First, the US CDC does not directly author these sex ed programs, but rather reviews and then promotes outside private sources & their sex ed curriculum products, such as SIECUS and ETR Associates. This eliminates direct accountability and liability for same.
US Fed law requires that, if any Fed money is spent on sex ed-specifically re the high known ineffectiveness of male lates condoms ("safe sex") in preventing HIV, STD's & prewgnancy-that sex ed info must be medically accurate, diligent and honest. US CDC "reviewing" outside private programs, rather than "authoring" such "Programs That Work" themselves, is an attempt to circumvent this Fed law.
Second, because these US CDC "PRograms That Work" are not produced by the Feds, but are privately owned, they are NOT available under US Fed Freedom of Information Act. One must BUY them from the private companies. One State Dep't of Ed. official told me that only teachers and people directly involved in offering these programs can obtain them! (THankfully, the PHysicians Consortium has managed to obtain same for their professional review.)
Third, these US CDC "Programs That WOrk" are supposedly effective, not based on objective, scientific-based studies, but rather on subjective, psycho-social-based teen questionairres. For example, there is no comparison between control and study groups of school children re the hard numbers of teen pregnancy, teen births, abortions, HIV & AIDS cases, STD cases, etc. Rather, the control and study groups of school children are asked personal questions about their sexual behaviour patterns & risk behaviours.
Lastly, these and similiar programs are disseminated to local public schools & teachers, via State Dep'ts of Education. One State Dep't of Ed. "Health Education Resource Centre" (where "approved" teaching materials by the State is made available to public school staff), told me that the same office that offers these US CDC "Programs That Work" to children is 100% US CDCX grant funded.
Thus, this source of medically inaccurate, dishonest and negligent sex ed curriculum disinformation is being pushed across the entire country, via States, to local public schools. If any child suffers any pain, distress, loss, disease or death as a result of acting upon such sex ed disinfo, I urge immediate consultation with a trusted Clergy, Physician and Lawyer without delay. Partental questions and concerns should be answered first by consulting a
trusted CLergy, Physician and Lawyer.
I believe this moral decline in the public school system was greatly accelerated in that horrid time period I refer to as "the last eight years." The damage Clinton has done to this nation's honor will never fully be realized.
Why for the second time in as many days is this the first response to RWBaral. If there is a problem with the way this is posted why not mail suggestions to RWBaral?
A teacher in NY was accused and confessed to being guilty of the same thing. He resigned, and left the state with a letter of recommendation from the school district. That was the agreement. Because this man still has his teaching licence, and a wonderful letter of recommendation, where is he now?
If this can happen in a house of God, imagine what's going on in the liberal public schools, where it's protected by the federal government! Where Planned Parenthood and GLADD are welcome to teach the children at their own discretion and with the schools blessings and endorsements.
For the love of God, get your children and grandchildren out of the public school system. It's time to accept the truth of what's really happening to them. It's your fault if anything happens to them. They need you. They can't raise themselves or go it alone.
Maybe because some people understand the definition of Breaking News and some don't.
I'll assume that his was supposed to say "of male latex condoms", though I never knew they had a gender per se.
The assertion that condoms frequently fail, either to prevent pregnancy or disease transmission is based on faulty information. Condoms are tested and have repeatedly proven to be quite strong and reliable. The statistics regarding pregnancies and transmission of diseases from condom "failures" are generated in large part by people who do not wish to admit that they were in fact NOT using a condom when they got pregnant/infected.
You've got to be kidding me. That's not sex ed, that's American Pie III!
Amen, Sister!
It's crossed the line from being a "choice" that concerned parents can make, like say between wearing the Navy or Maroon shirt; no, it's the difference between feeding your child strychnine or feeding them a banana. Public School as a whole has become another outpost of Hell and parents are as deceived as their children in the government schools if they think otherwise.
When, oh WHEN will parents (especially religious parents) wake up and smell the fall out? PULL YOUR KIDS OUT IF YOU CAN! If you know someone who wants to but can't, have your church take them on, but for their soul's sake, GET THEM OUT.
My children are safe from this horror. Thank God, my kids are safe.
Assemblyman MOUNTJOY opposes promotion of homosexuality in public schools.
It's the lazy way to parent. Throw them on the bus, and mommy is free for the day. Some mothers just don't want the burden of raising their own kids. Let the school have them. It's ok, they just won't look.
They know what's going on, but ignore it for selfish reasons.
