From the Bethel-High-School Newspaper

Did you know that in the U.S. the average age of first intercourse is 16?

66% of high school seniors have intercourse before they graduate.
( I make up approximately .87% of that demographic, however my chances of loosing virginity before graduation are greatly increasing - considering that I take no interest in anyone else but Heather, as the 'next generation's women are more dumb than shit-on-a-stick and it doesn't seem like I'm graduating anytime soon )

Commentary

Yes, straight from the mouth (or well, pen) of one of BHS's highly esteemed journalistic lesbian-whores ---
SEX ED INAPPROPRIATE FOR SCHOOL by Megan Best :

Sex education is not needed in our public schools. It is inappropriate and a scandalous use of our class time. Sex, like religion, is not a topic that we should be talking about in our schools. There is no reason that anything relating to sexual activities should be taught to the fragile minds of children. To teach sex in school is to take away the parent's responsibility and is putting the teacher's own moral beliefs on students. Sex should be kept in the home where it belongs. It should be learned, as it always has, by experience and not advice. The only way for students to learn about sex correctly is if we shelter them and protect them as long as possible, because everyone knows that if teenagers don't know about something, they won't do it.

Everyone knows that it is the parent's responsibility to teach their children about sex. And if someone is a parent, they know a thing or two about sex. And all parents can be expected to give good mature advice about sex because all parents are mature... right? Young adults do not want to learn about sex in an educational enviroment. We should keep learning about sex from the same places we learned about it in the past : racy movies, scantily clad people in magazines, and those big overhead ads on the city transportation for Planned Parenthood that have the big haired girl with the embarrassed expression.

If we were to teach sex education in schools, we would only further the popularity of the sexual revolution and let young people think for themselves and their own bodies. We might even erase the long held sexual gender roles-men feeling strong and confident about ther sexual identity and women feeling ashamed. If that were to happen, young woman may gain too much confidence and want to engage in seuxal activities{ with other women? }. The best way for us to keep students from having sex is to continue showing women as the sexual object the media portrays them so that teenage girls will feel that they are not pretty enough or not skinny enough to have sex. And teenage boys will feel that the girls are not good enough for them, thus promoting abstinence.

The best way to solve this controversy is to stop teaching sex education in any classes and to continue to promote media images of beauty. After all, ignorance is bliss.


... Let me just say - that was that an argument AGAINST or FOR sex education? This is the reason why SALAMANDER is on my black-list. She isn't funny. I didn't laugh. The only thing I found was another source of BHS juice. ( BHS juice, I have concluded, consists of three major elements, these being : stupidity, dumb-shitness, and fugly. You have witnessed here, two of the three elements within Megan Best. You are just lucky that I cannot scan/post the picture of her as well.... or can I? )

The counter to her statements were by Bethany Almond. She's good. I would post up her commentary but I seem to have run out of lunch-time to work with. Sad day. In any event all was well in who-ville ( sorry, the teacher seems to be doing some sort of odd-end "dr. seuss thing" when she gets back and that just sort of slipped through. )

I don't think there is much of anything else left to say. I know a couple people in the class. I don't care that I did. Oh - throughout the whole mention of sexual education in school they always mention " RELIGION RELIGION RELIGION< RELIGION....... oh wait, did I forget... RELGION." I would just like to make one statement against that.

There is nothing religious about the mechanics of taking the elongated sailboat and sticking it in the boat-parking hole.
