why is this allowed in public schools...?

Hillsboro High sex talk from group is questioned (nashville, tn)


Teens don’t need opinions about sexual health issues, a presenter told Hillsboro High freshmen and sophomores last week.
They need facts.

Having sex with eight partners would be the equivalent of drinking a whole classroom’s spit, so the presentation goes. There’s a new sexually transmitted disease out there that will become the new AIDS. All medical textbooks say life begins at conception.

For an hour, Joi Wasill, the founder of nonprofit Decisions, Choices and Options, and Sumner County School Board member Beth Cox provided a captive audience their take on STDs, abortion and adoption. It wasn’t completely accurate, a Vanderbilt University doctor said.

But neither Tennessee state law nor the class curriculum prohibits what was said, and the nonprofit — with its strong Christian, Republican and pro-life ties — is on a list of approved presenters in Metro Nashville’s public schools.

into the Victorian age. Or maybe remaking one of the most human acts into revolting filth.

So the Xtians want to turn sexuality into a mass mental health disaster?

Makes one wonder....
