need to be talked about.
Health Education in the classroom is one of those subjects that is going to be controversial no matter what. Parents feel very passionate about this issue and whether parents are on the side of abstinence only or giving birth control in schools the debate is going to be passionate.
Is the answer somewhere in between?
Read an article in the St. Pete Times here.
Parents, teachers, and students I want to hear from you. What is the answer. I know what I teach my children, but I represent you.

Frequently, issues of debate are based on addressing a false premise. I would like to start the debate with seeing an answer to these questions:
By what authority does any school board choose to address student’s sexual behavior?
or
Why is the parent’s responsibility of their child’s sexual behavior usurped by an educational agency under the umbrella of “health education“?
or
Who ever said it was a school board’s responsibility to address this issue?
I have posted some thoughts about this on my other blog:

Abstinence is the answer and birth control condoned.
A good parent teaches the child how not to get in an accident and to always carry insurance.
