And liberals insist that comprehensive sexual education, which includes access to condoms and the morning after pill and not abstinence programs, would protect kids from sexually transmitted diseases:
According to a study published last month in the Californian Journal of Health Promotion, there were 1.1 million new cases of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among young Californians in 2005, the California Catholic reports.
The figure is ten times higher than previously believed. If the study is accurate, diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HPV, and HIV now infect almost one out of four Californians in the 15-24 age group.
Why? Because of the left-wing, pro-sex agenda that the radicals have imposed on the entire state’s public education system.
According to Chris Weinkopf, editorial-page editor of the Los Angeles Daily News, state law prohibits ‘abstinence-only’ education in public schools. California has also refused to accept millions of dollars in federal funding for abstinence education.
Linda Klepacki, sexual health analyst for Focus on the Family Action, thought the dramatic increase was unsurprising. “California has insisted on teaching contraceptive-based sex education in their schools all along. They expect teens to be sexually active. They don’t raise the health standard to abstinence… It’s clear California supports sexually active teens, and STI rates will naturally explode with these policies,” she wrote in an on-line press release.
Plan B, the so-called “morning-after pill,” could be another factor contributing to the increase in STIs. Sexually transmitted infections soared in the British Isles when Plan B was made available without prescription in 2000. California was one of the first states to permit the sale of Plan B over-the-counter without an age limit.
The liberals in the state of California are doing these kids a horrible disservice. They are teaching young, impressionable kids who are already bombarded by sex everywhere they turn, in music, in movies, on television, and on the internet, that they don’t have to engage in any kind of self-control because they have these so-called safe guards, which are, obviously, not effective. Some of these STD’s are incurable, so these kids will be living with their diseases for the rest of their lives. And some day, when these kids grow up and have a better perspective on life, they will realize how horribly they were served by their education system, and they are going to be furious.
Unfortunately, STD’s are not the only devastating effects of the pro-sex agenda in California:
Along with the increase in sexually transmitted infections, there has also been a striking increase in the suicide rates among young people. UCLA psychiatrist Dr. Miriam Grossman has argued that promiscuity is the root cause of much depression. She believes the promiscuity-depression-suicide link is being ignored by doctors who fail to caution students about the dangers of the “hook-up” culture.
