RACE TO THE DARK AGES!

What issues are Ohio GOP Legislators ardently discussing these days?

They want to keep any sex talk other than “don’t have sex” out of the classroom. You know, because that sort of thing works SO well with other teen issues such as alcohol and tobacco!

Seriously, parents should be in control of these kinds of discussions in the home, but what of those students who don’t get ANY instruction other than whatever they find online? Too bad?

I also want these types of legislators to explain to me why states that teach abstinence-only, or have no comprehensive sex-education requirement tend to have the highest teen pregnancy rates, as well as higher poverty and higher numbers on welfare. States that teach comprehensively, like New Hampshire, have a tendency toward lower rates in all three categories. It is correlation or causation? I don’t know, rather, the lawmakers should before they craft legislation.

But I suppose when some of these people say they want to take America back, they really mean back to when superstition and fear ruled human thought and action.
