July 30, 200818 yr I don't want you teaching you pro-anything goes stuff in schools either. If parents want their kids to have birth control then the parents should buy it for them. I have no problem at all with birth control methods being taught about in schools IF it is also explained that the only 100% sure fire method to prevent unwanted pregnancy and STDs is to not have sex in the first place.

I agree entirely and have never seen a program where this was not the case.
July 30, 200818 yr Question - how is sex education handled (if at all) in Catholic or Christian schools?

You think that just because I do not draw my morals and values from a religion, and the fact that they are different from yours;makes me a anything goes guy. I value personal liberty above all else.
July 30, 200818 yr Question - how is sex education handled (if at all) in Catholic or Christian schools? Speaking from my experience, we had a program called Choosing to Wait. One of the religion teachers would lead the program, but it was mainly done with Seniors. The basis of the program was that the seniors and religion teacher would teach the freshman about the consequences of having premarital sex through various skits, talks, games, etc. I'm not really sure how effective it is as I've never been exposed to how it's done elsewhere.
July 30, 200818 yr No I think you're an anyting goes guy based on the stuff you post here, it has nothing to do with religion although I do think that pretending to have a calling to the ministry just to impress a girl is disgusting. Another thing I do know is that I would not want a personal liberty trumps personal responsibility agenda taught in public schools.
July 30, 200818 yr You think that just because I do not draw my morals and values from a religion, and the fact that they are different from yours;makes me a anything goes guy. I value personal liberty above all else. So a person should be allowed to kill anyone they want without consequence correct?
July 30, 200818 yr So a person should be allowed to kill anyone they want without consequence correct? Personal Liberty until that liberty infringes upon another person's liberty.
July 30, 200818 yr What about my liberty to raise my child as I see fit? If I don't want my child exposed to on-demand birth control in schools do I or don't I have that liberty.
July 30, 200818 yr What about my liberty to raise my child as I see fit? If I don't want my child exposed to on-demand birth control in schools do I or don't I have that liberty. Well if your child has a kid due to lack of knowledge, don't complain when you're raising it.
July 30, 200818 yr Well if your child has a kid due to lack of knowledge, don't complain when you're raising it. Don't worry, I won't. I believe in personal responsibility for ones actions, not making excuses. In that situation I would endeavor to assist my child in any way that I am able while at the same time expecting my child to get him or herself into position to be able to fufill their responsibility. If you re-read my post I said I have no problem with teaching about birth control methods, I have a problem with the distribution of them. And I will make sure that my child has the knowlege that they need to make proper decisions and if and when WE decide that they need birth control, then I will take care of it rather then expecting a school to do it. All in all I would evaluate your approach as a way to abrogate parental responsibility to a school and I want no part of that.

All in all I would evaluate your approach as a way to abrogate parental responsibility to a school and I want no part of that. I have no kids, but if I did I would do my best to educate them, but in no way am I saying that I want the school to teach them everything, h owever I know a lot of kids will not approach their parents about putting them on birth control. The kids that I support getting free birth control are the ones that either are too scared to talk to their parents or the one's whose parents are too lazy to even care about their kids.
July 30, 200818 yr Once again, lets keep religion out of schools. You wouldnt want me teaching my pro-choice ideas in your church. Why does pro-life fall under the category of religion? I am aware of several non-christians who are against the murder of the unborn. Also, you would not be invited to speak at my church so that is a non-issue.
July 30, 200818 yr What cracks me up is that so many are jumping on Gooch like he's a non-Christian because he's pro choice. Who are you guys to judge?
