Comments:Advocacy groups complain about 4parents.gov sex-ed website

Sex Ed and HIV/AIDS and Substance use/abuse
As a CASAC - T and an HIV/AIDS community educator and advocate. I am not surprise that the religious community still has it head in the sand. Some parent are afraid to talk about sex with their children. The church needs to keep their focus on saving souls and not chastising people for how they identify themselves. Substance abuse is not limited to illegal drugs. There are a lot of people who abuse over the counter and perscribed drugs. Under the enflunce of a substance that alters one sence of reason, opens the door way to risky behavior. What I say is for all fractions of society. All comunittes are to be respected.

The so called STRAIGHT people have such an inferiority complex about themselves they have to pick on some other group to feel adequate. There is such a high level of low self esteem in the general public, it is no wonder the the youth of today are quick to listen to their friends. Do not get it wrong, I am not anti church, but I am anti faith base programs only. The HHC has the hard proof of how effective different approach. Any information that is published on a topic such as this must be all inclusive the members of society.

There will be a lot of people who will disagree with what I have written, and that is o.k. Disagreement is healthy, but managed well, good can come out of healthy talk. Be open minded to other point of views. I say to my groups agree to disagree and respect each other opinion.

Traditional Values are now the progressive position
It's not surprising that SIECUS and Planned Parenthood want to shut this website down as it contradicts their sex is better all the time philosophy. They benefit financially from treating sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancies. They exploit students by teaching them only the perfect usage rates of contraception, when not even adults achieve perfect usage rates.

There is a plethora of studies showing that sex, especially in the teen years, is unhealthy physically, mentally and spiritually, especially most recently advances in neuroscience.

It doesn't take a scientist to figure out that teaching kids to give into temptation is a stupid idea. Giving into eating too much, bad language, alchohol, illegal drugs, etc. raises one type of individual, teaching students the tips they can use to avoid tempatation raises one with character. it's just a matter of time before junk sex operations (that use themselves to prove their outrageous "sex is healthy" claims) such as SIECUS and Planned Parenthood are defunded.

An example of SIECUS/Planned Parenthood type advocacy: Take a look at International PP’s Healthy, Happy and Hot brochure targeting HIV+ youth. http://www.ippf.org/NR/rdonlyres/B4462DDE-487D-4194-B0E0-193A04095819/0/HappyHealthyHot.pdf On page 6 it states, “Some countries have laws that say people living with HIV must tell their sexual partner(s) about their status before having sex, even if they use condoms or only engage in sexual activity with a low risk of giving HIV to someone else. These laws violate the rights of people living with HIV by forcing them to disclose or face the possibility of criminal charges.” On page 7 one can find Tips for Telling Sexual Partners Your HIV Status, “When dating, some people tell their partner when they first meet while others wait till later. Do whatever makes you the most comfortable. If you are in a long-term relationship, try to find a time when your partner is calm and has time for a long conversation.”
