Well reasoned article on "abstinence only" cruft
While sex education should be done at home IN CONJUNCTION with health education about one's own body in schools, I believe that if we are indeed a religion that celebrates responsible fertility in all forms, we must have the knowledge to be responsible WITH. This article brings up some very disturbing issues, from a 14 year old not knowing you can get STDs from non-vaginal sex, to the ridiculous claim that sweat and tears are a conduit for HIV.
It worries me how widespread this crap could be. It worries me that we are raising a society of uneducated people who will pass the same garbage along to their children.
