Someone please tell me why taxpayers are funding this program?

For 6th Graders:

Down-to-earth and hands-on, these 6 sessions keep students involved through self-discovery and interviews with friends, parents or guardians, and class partners. Videos that open each lesson lead naturally to discussion. This lively curriculum creates the foundation for an informed commitment to healthy relationships and the Abstinence Pledge. The 50-minute sessions cover:

* Deciding on Your Future
Students watch teens talk about the importance of making smart decisions. Students then discover how decisions help them reach their goals, especially when linked with determination.

* Figuring Out Friendships and Relationships
This lesson begins by looking at the qualities of a good friend, then progresses to understanding crushes, infatuations and true love through a fun-filled activity. Learning respect for the other person is part of this lively session.

* Avoiding Unhealthy Relationships
Students discover how emotional needs may leave them vulnerable to unhealthy relationships. Included is an honest, but discreet, discussion about sexual abuse. An engaging activity helps students discover their personal uniqueness.

* Identifying the Risks
Students may know about some risks associated with sexual activity, but this session presents a frank examination of teen pregnancy and STDs, as well as the emotional effects often not discussed. From this study, students see the need for compassion.

* Choosing the Best Way
Risks provide reasons why students should avoid sexual activity. This session’s study of abstinence offers the positive benefits of waiting until marriage. At the end of this session students have a chance to make the healthy choice to sign the Abstinence Pledge.

* Learning How to Say NO
Once students choose abstinence, they need tools to help them stick with their decision. First, they see how alcohol can destroy their abstinence pledge. Then, students try out different ways to say NO and keep a friendship. Students learn that courage helps them stand up and stick with their decisions.



How is this kind of indoctrination under the purview of public schooling?

(I am personally supportive of abstinence, but hell if I want it taught in public schools. This is religious indoctrination, without the words "Jesus" or "Mohamed.")

And this appears to the kind of lesson they are teaching to help girls figure out what kind of relationships are healthy.

Because it's the sneakiest way they can infiltrate religious indoctrination into public schools, of course - and don't EVEN get me started on "Faith Based" funding supporting AOG hellcamps like Teen Challenge...

My tax dollars directly supporting religions and moralities I consider downright EVIL, a word you may note, I do not use lightly, is a constant grind on my nerves, especially when this country even has laws enforcing those religions and moralities upon me despite me not sharing them and considering them such...

As if we got ANY RIGHT TO BITCH, about Sharia Law, when we look into the truth of our own religious leglisation and funding.

I was seriously pissed when I found that the entire "education" on that front that the school offered my niece was the exact same 40 minute videotape they used back in my day which essentially amounted to "This is sex, it's bad, don't do it!", and her lack of knowledge on that respect had her in a panic that she might have been pregnant from being involuntarily felt-up by one of the punks from her school...

What made it all the worse is that when I saw that corrective education was necessary, and that my sister was by no means up to the task, I realized that just as when I chose to self-educate about those matters way back when, to actually even discuss matters of that nature would be technically illegal despite it being in a necessary-educational context.

Nuts isn't the word, it's vile, unhealthy, unwholesome, and to put it bluntly, inhumane - what's next, genital mutilation, cause you know, if the fucking Christians thought they could get away with it, they WOULD do it....

Tell me again how bad the Taliban is, yeaaaaah....

They DO do it. Circumcision, anyone? Anyone?

I don't know how the Jews do it. But I have never heard horror stories from them the way I hear horror stories from physician circumcisions.

Yes, this Choosing the Best program is really pissing me off. Religious education belongs at home and in church. MY tax money should not be funding someone twisted idea of what BEST means.

Good thing your First Grade children are using contraception, then. Or are your children aged 14 before they graduate Kindergarden?
