Reply #15: Who cares - they're not repuke voters [View All]

:grr:

All the statistics are out there - rate of teen pregancny up, AIDs going up, number of abortions going up and why?

Because we can't teach sex education to our children. That's 7 years of our kids being told "Wait until marriage" and thinking that 2 horny kids are gonna remember that message when they're, um, like horny.

And I blame it on the lack of funding in our educational system. I lived 5 years in an area that was predominantly minority and what I saw where kids that were not giving a strong future. The school system was barely making ends meet to give these kids even a borderline education that could help make them potentially successful in society (btw, growing up in Rural America - same educational problem).

If we could just take a TENTH of what is spent on this war and funnel it into education, we could give our children the opportunity to live the American dream including providing health care for all of them
