I was making my rounds through the typical news site this morning and come across an article quoting a CNN Jack Cafferty (a CNN) history of reporting the results of a recently published case study suggests decline in teen sex as a result of the $ 170 million spent annually on abstinence education through the public school system. I have reviewed the results of this case study and found that the reported 33.5% of abstinence-schooled students and 48.5% in the control group is expected to participate in the sexual act is an estimate supported. The actual occurrence of sexual activity reported was 20.6% for abstinence-only group and 29% for the control group without the estimate published by the margin of error for this study. Now, for those of you reading this who are not aware of my position in case-study results please read the following paragraph, if you are familiar with my stance skip the next paragraph.
Every time you see a "case study" or "survey" referred to in an article or speech or a letter of support for the issue of authors or their views are lying. Any reference to "statistical data" means they are lying. Whenever someone interprets the data for you, they are lying too. If not data is wrong in any particular way, but like most things quoted in the popular media today is often taken out of context aspects ignored or drawings of the results are interpreted to suits the needs of authors.
To get to the point I want to do here, we will have to fire the huge rarities underlying truths about the world. The first blind eye become terribly unstable footing these publicly known figures, including elected officials, party leaders, the spokespersons of the media and a number of religious leaders take on the hypocritical aspect of sex outside marriage ideology rarely practiced by many who support it. Secondly we will have to dismiss the reality that the promotion of sexuality has become one of the most powerful marketing tools of all consumer products available in today's world of chewing gum to used cars , so that any discussion of five minutes on the benefits of abstinence was quickly drowned by the steady stream of propaganda sexual charge.
Now, with all that out of the way lets take a deeper look at the real issue. What kind of sex education should be teaching in public schools? On one hand we abstinence and other safer sex practices. In Lue of listing all the pros and cons of the two schools of thought that I will say this clearly. Abstinence is a tool for those either too ignorant to see the reality of today's world or too afraid to speak openly about sex and safe sex practices will be beneficial for those who are mature enough to comprehend and understand the consequences sexual activity.
I want to take a second to address a small part of the community stubborn wonders why any form of sex education is needed in our schools at all. If you want proof of the necessity of sex education have on your computer and search for any recorded broadcast program Dr. Drew, after listening for 20 minutes just to show that to yourself, these people have graduated from our system good public school and soon will be with her knowledge (or lack of) to the next generation. Do you really want the only information they receive about sex generation ahead of their parents? Children in school are going to get some kind of sex education. Would you prefer is equally ignorant peers? With this in mind, I do not think anyone could argue intelligently with the need for sex education in public schools.
So the increasing political agenda advocates are opponents in the selection of its position on this issue a seemingly unbridgeable gap has developed between the two concepts. Once the weeds all political and religious arguments on the issue clear and simple answer to this question is evident. Abstinence should be promoted in the early stages of sex education without the mental and emotional maturity to understand the consequences of sexual activity of young mind can not comprehend the ramifications of sexual risk behaviors. When abstinence fails, and not the student needs to be aware of the dangers of sexual activity and be informed about the best way to protect yourself from these dangers. Promote abstinence and teach safety.
