I just read an article on an extremely liberal website “Prospect.org”. It was entitled “Sex Education as Liberation” by Courtney E. Martin. It’s a long diatribe about how telling kids to wait is wrong and how people aren’t responding well to “comprehensive” sex-ed, as Planned Parenthood calls it, so she suggests taking the same leftist idealogy of zero moral absoultes and wrapping it in shiny, new paper to try and, I don’t know, perhaps, trick those of us that still have brain cells? Anyway, here is a link to her article if you’re interested in reading it…

And here is my response to Ms. Martin…

Ms. Martin,

I just read your article “Sex Education as Liberation.” I have to say, I don’t know whether to be irritated and outraged that I stumbled upon it or, perhaps, semi-happy to have been “enlightened” to how outrageous the left has really become in this nation. I guess it’s always better to know the viewpoint of your bloviating adversaries in order to know their talking points. And thank you for identifying yourself as a “liberal folk”. That is certainly something to be proud of.

I thought you might find this study interesting…

It seems to contradict the quote that you used about abstinence-only versus “comprehensive” sex-ed. Which, by the way, is the brainchild of Planned Parenthood. Ugh- just typing their name gives me chills. And any person who associates themselves with that organization is disgraceful. Believe me when I tell you, they are not concerned for “women’s health” as you all so love to chant, as much as they are into the business of ethnic cleansing, population control, oh, and murder. How can you believe that children, yes children, should have this mentality of “if it feels good, do it”? You assume that children have the same mental capacity, awareness, self-control, and abilities to discern as adults. That, we, adults are treating them as mindless creatures, lower than we, when we set before them moral absolutes and boundaries. I’m tired of this argument that we need to let children decide what is best for them. There need to be absolutes! Children thrive when given boundaries. I love the quote, “Freedom is not being able to do whatever you want, freedom is being able to what you ought.” This leftist idealogy is forcing children to believe that they are almost expected to engage in, not only pre-marital, but also extremely young intercourse. Many studies have shown that. They feel an unspeakable pressure to have sex because of this comprehensive sex-ed program. Studies also show that these programs are not as effective when compared to abstinence only programs- rates of infection and teen pregnancy are on the rise since the progressive movement hit schools. Rates of teen violence and suicide have subsequently been on the rise as well. I also love how the liberals give them cute little names like “STD” or “STI” or “pro-choice” to water them down. It’s called a venereal disease- not quite as trendy, huh? Do you realize that there was a teenager quoted as saying, “I think herpes sounds sexy.” Yep, that’s what you guys are teaching. You aren’t in the “in-crowd” unless you have some sort of alphabetical equation between your legs. My point is, take away moral absolutes and boundaries, especially for children, and you create “Young Frankenstein“.

There is no room for diversity.There is not room for a lack of self-control. There is reward in taming, saving, and resisting- not only in the sexual realm, but financially as well. That is the problem with this society- instant gratification. And if you actually want to see a turn around in our current society, there have to be set rules, otherwise the boundary lines will continue to be blurred. If promiscuity, experimentation, homosexuality, and group-sex are considered normal and accetable all in the name of “it feels good”, then some will wish to move the line to include beastiality, incest, child pornography (after all, this is what you’re advocating for when you tell children it’s okay to make themselves feel better), and rape. One other question, why is it okay for children to sleep with one another, but liberalism denounces child pornography? Like I said, if we continue on this path, all of these and more will become the norm as we morph into a society much like the one in I Am Legend. My vote? Sexual abstinece as liberation!
