Coming war over sexual education?
• Sexual Health
The Kansas State Board of Education fresh from the war over evolutionary theory may next turn its attention of sex education.
[Board Chairman Steve] Abrams said abstinence was the only sure method to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
He disagreed with teaching students about using condoms, which he said weren’t 100 percent safe. That would be like saying to youngsters that if they’re going to smoke, smoke filtered cigarettes, he said.
Battle over sex education may be looming
I'm sure most Kansans feel their state is more civilized than Gana where Victoria Ayesu says:
"Refusal to give sex education to children is not only a disservice to them but also retard the campaign to curb the spread of HIV/AIDS in the society ... "
"Sex is a natural instinct, which is practised anytime the time comes; therefore it is better for parents to educate their children on it to make them know the problem it entails", she said.
