My mother bought me two books, "Whats Happening to Me?" and "Where did I Come From" both by Peter Bayle. (still have those books). Now... grant it those books didn't teach me oral sex or things like that but neither did a teacher. I mean I really believe teaching oral sex as an alternative is going too far. Teach safe sex, teach abstinence but a classroom is not the place for explaining oral sex (at least not by a teacher) I am not so sure any sex ed needs to be taught in school. Shouldn't parents be responsible for teaching certain things? I remember learning about sex as a child.

At that point, a gathering danger must be directly confronted. At that point, we must show that beyond our resolutions is actual resolve." - Dick Cheney "America is a Nation with a mission - and that mission comes from our most basic beliefs. We have no desire to dominate, no ambitions of empire. Our aim is a democratic peace - a peace founded upon the dignity and rights of every man and woman." - George W. Bush "Politicians brought the Nazis to power and started the war. They are the ones who brought about these disgusting crimes, and now we have to sit there in the dock with them and share the blame!" - Karl Doenitz, German Admiral, at Nuremburg - 5/27/46 "Hitler didn't want to do things my way. I wanted things done legally. After all, I am a lawyer." (4/24/46).... "The mass murders were certainly not thought of as a consequence of the Nuremberg Laws, [though] it may have turned out that way." - Wilhelm Frick, Minister of the Interior, Nuremberg "The indictment knocked me on the head. First of all, I hand no idea at all about 90 per cent of the accusations in it. The crimes are horrible beyond belief, if they are true. Secondly, I don't see how they can fail to recognize a soldier's obligation to obey orders. That's the code I've lived by all my life." (11/1/45) - Alfred Jodl, Chief of Operations for the German High Command "... It is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." - Hermann Goering, Nuremberg "For diplomacy to be effective, words must be credible - and no one can now doubt the word of America." - George W. Bush "We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators." - Dick Cheney "I am the right." - Geroge W. Bush Favorite pertinent quotes:

The children of teenage mothers will often become teenage mothers themselves. I'm glad our children receive sex education in school. My 15 year old son came home with a box of condoms from a sex education class. It does make it a lot easier for us as parents to talk to him about sex when the groundwork has already been done by someone else.
