right now nothing. But my son was told that condoms are safe and if your going to have sex wear condoms so you are safe. He was in the 6th grade, far to early to be talking to him about this especially without consulting parents. He of course came home and told me, I spent some time on trojans website and other condom websites and got the stats, brought them to the teacher and said please stop telling my son condoms are safe. they are zero percent effective against herpies and only somewhat effective against hiv exc. blah blah the list went on. I asked him that he let me know when he was going to be talking about this stuff with my son so I would know what is going on and asked him to let the kids know the things condoms do not protect you from and the other things they dont protect you fully from and to please stop calling it safe sex, I didnt mind safer but please dont lie to them and say its safe. He refused everyting I asked. So we had a year long battle.
If he wants to tell his own kids that its his right, its sad for his kid who might get herpies but its his right as a parent. It should be my right also.
In my daughers 2d grade class they were going to read the "heather has two mommys" book. There was a big backlash and they didnt. I am glad they didnt. This is a topic parents need to have with thier kids not the school teachers.
Though I do think there are rare cases where the school may need to have the chat.
but that isnt what this thread was about. PLC1 made the thread about a straight republican who thought same sex marriage should be legal because he married a homosexual. Part of the topic was how religous people need to change and be mroe accepting so homosexual people can feel more comfortable.
I think its wrong to attack or be mean to anyone because you dont like their life style but I sure as hell draw the line at being expected to changing your spirtual faith or religous belief so another person can feel more happy or comfortable.
Don't schools in Oregon have to notify parents when they're going to discuss this kind of thing, and don't the parents have a right to keep them out of class? They do here in California.
But again you are doing like PLC1, he somehow couldnt seem to tell me it was ok for me to have faith and that I should be tolerated just as I tolerate others whos lifestyles do not agree with my own.
I'm not sure what I posted that led you to believe that I didn't think it was OK for you to have faith that should be tolerated. My philosophy is what it has always been, live and let live. So long as your liberty doesn't impinge on mine, you should have a right to believe whatever you want.
