DA: sex ed could get teachers arrested

apdst, how about instead of trying to change the subject and run from things you hurry up and give us some evidence at all that supports the notion that abstinence only education has a likelihood of reducing teen pregnancys when compared to comprehensive sex education.

Still waiting, you're still at "nothing" which is worse than "might"
 

Move on to another thread if you don't like it. Your post could definitely be considered, "trolling".

..... That is because when you take "Biology" in school - it is a concise look into the world of - gasp - biology. It includes the anatomy of various animals species, plant life, cell structure and in some schools - molecules, chemical reactions etc.

When you take sex. education, they teach you some the social aspects of sex, how to properly protect yourself from STIs, the effects these different methods can have on your body, what to do in case you have a problem before(regarding STIs), while or after sex, what sexuality actually is, how it works, etc .

No, they don't teach you how to **** in Sex Ed. You're being highly dishonest.

Doctors say Sex Education is what is needed.

You are playing the Stinger Shuffle. Since the headlines do not make the specific claim that 'A does X' then you claim there is no evidence what so ever to support the claim that A does X. The problem with this is that people who are literate go past headlines and actually read articles before they go brushing them off.

I think the vast majority of adolescents know how to put a penis and vagina together. Cavemen didn't have sex ed class in 7000 BC. So the argument that sex ed is teaching kids how to have sex is just a diversion from simple reality.

It's teaching them that if/when they have sex, here is what happens in the body. Here are the potential consequences if you are reckless about it. Here is the physiology and here is why pregnancy can be so likely. Here are some myths that you might hear from your peers about sex and contraception, and you should ignore them because they are ineffective. Here are some personal stories from people who have contracted STIs that were life altering.

You do learn reproductive anatomy and physiology in most basic biology classes, but I disagree that it's as effective as a sexual education course. Biology looks at structures and functions and places little or no emphasis on self-protection and social consequences. Also, most biology courses take place in high school, and sex ed should be taught at the onset of puberty or before so that children have the basic knowledge before their bodies start changing and sexual urges begin. Even with sex ed many adolescents ignore the facts and go with their urges, but sex ed statistically ensures the best possible outcomes. Abstinence only or no sex ed at all has already been proven to be a complete waste of time and of no benefit to modern society.

Based on the arguments I've seen by many on the far right, I am starting to believe that they themselves never received proper sex ed because they don't see to even know what is taught in it, and that is concerning given the restricted access they wish to bestow upon their own children and on the governmental policy level.

No, it's very relevant. Do you want your kid to take a class to learn how to **** in high school?

As a parent, I don't.

Because you're going to teach them to **** at home. Right?

Sounds harsh, but that's exactly what he's saying, isn't it? If not, where will they learn?

That is NOT what those classes teach. They teach kids how to avoid contracting diseases by taking precautions.

High schoolers are going to have sex anyway. There is NO stopping it. These courses merely teach safety and ways to avoid pregnancy and life-altering diseases.

In terms of what YOU want.... well ... what YOU want is irrelvent when your teenagers decide to have sexual relations.

It's better for them to know how to avoid disease and pregnancy.

Exactly.

It's just as dumb to say teaching sex ed in school is "teaching them to ****" as it is to say it about teaching them about sex at home. Point made.

Well, I think that about ends any shred of credibility apdst could have had in this thread.

BTW, apdst, I want to congratulate you on running from the argument and refusing to post any evidence of your position, though it was requested several times. Good job. :roll:

Well, to be fair, I don't like that teenagers have sex either, although I do accept it as a fact of life. However, the take I have on sex education about birth control and contraceptives for teens is that they need to know how to use them when they're adults.

We are so focused on unwanted teen pregnancies that we ignore unwanted young adult pregnancies. College students aren't any better prepared to handle pregnancies than teenagers are, if you ask me. That's why I think we need to teach teenagers birth control and contraceptive use, so they know how to use them as adults when they are older.

After all, while teens may be able to go without, it is seriously doubtful that young adults will until they get married.
