Using his example correctly: teaching kids sex education and instructing them on the use of condoms is like--> teaching a course on alcohol, knowing that kids are going to drink, and encouraging them to drink in moderation, not drive, be in a safe place, etc etc. It certainly is not encouraging sex. Teaching kids about condoms/contraception, is done with the understanding that kids are going to have sex, and we might as well help prevent them from ruining their lives at 15 years old.<br /><br />Of course the religious right has nothing better to worry about than whether kids learn about safe sex...oh wait maybe they could convince their priests to stop molesting minor boys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
