Bring things back towards the "gay marriage" area: Gay couples don't tend to be susceptible to a dearth of unwanted teen pregnancies, regardless of what you teach them in high school. Sounds like a win to me.


that's definitely safer in that regard.

also: how does teen pregnancy fit in with why gay marriage isn't ok again?

Someone said they weren't okay with kindergarteners being taught about the 'gay lifestyle'. Someone else said sex ed at all is inappropriate in Kindergarten. I refuted that and the rest was the result.

Teaching children that the best birth control and protection against STDs is to not have sex should be done.


Why waste the time with something they already know? That's like saying "you don't want to be electrocuted, don't stick a metal object into the wall socket." It doesn't need to be said to them, they understand that.


Agreed.

It'd be like a gun owner going to a gun safety class and having to spend an entire unit's worth of time being told the best way to avoid accidental misfires of a firearm is to not handle one at all.

Like....seriously?
