Holy. Fucking. Shit.
From the leading abstinence-only curriculum's website:
True realism demands we recognize that the sexual revolution has proved to be a disaster for American society. Congress has done just that, calling for a paradigm shift in the best medical, emotional and economic interest of America. In this it is following a distinguished precedent: Congress has taken similar bold action before in our history—for example, on drugs, racial equality and smoking. It is unfortunate that some people cannot accept the courageous act of Congress and are attempting to sabotage the law.
The sexual revolution proved to be a disaster for American society??? I'm sorry to tell you, lady, but STDs and divorce would've found their way to this country with or without hippies and free love. Humans like sex. They're always going to seek it out, with or without your permission.
And, we're comparing the push for abstinence-only education to the struggle for Civil Rights???!!1!!1!
Yet again, aren't conservatives supposed to dislike government interference in our personal lives? "Congress has done just that, calling for a paradigm shift in the best medical, emotional and economic interest of America." She said it, not me.
Something else that bothers me:
What do I tell my 10 year old daughter about womanhood?
The Six Ms for pre-puberty girls:
[...]
4. Mary, our model of meekness: The Blessed Virgin Mary is a role model for women. She was not aggressive, obnoxious or gossipy. Remind your daughter that she will see many girls become louder and more immature when they physically develop if they do not know that a girl has to work spiritually to become virtuous. Meekness is inner strength without impulsiveness. Look to Mary, your heavenly mother, for guidance.
And this program, with its blatant religious message and underpinnings, receives FEDERAL FUNDING to be implemented in public schools. I know this is old news, but still....
