-Caveat Lector-
If people would stop to think for a minute they would realize that an awful
lot of the foofaraw over "teaching sex" is totally absurd. How are the
schools going to *teach* masturbation? "Johnny, will you please come up
front and demonstrate for the class?" Riiight. Now, that approach might in
fact be more effective than the time-honored filmstrips shown by the boys'
coach in Hygiene class...but all of the discussion on both sides of the
fence manages to ignore the simple fact that *kids are having sex no matter
what you tell them in class*. The one thing to be said for live
demonstrations of sex (think "Monty Python and the Meaning of Life") is that
they would probably cause the kids to rebel simply because this is what They
are telling Us to do, and suddenly abstinence and virginity would be In.
What you've got now is adults yelling at each and burning each other's books
while the kids go off and do their, ah, thing unobserved.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
