This kind of shit just kills me. The Aclu has an affiliate site/blog up titled, "Take Issue, Take Charge" and their latest crusade is "protecting your reproductive freedom" which is such a joke to me because they say the Abstinence-Only-Until-Marriage Curricula is DANGEROUS! Yes, that's right, they said DANGEROUS!

Oh my, choosing NOT to have sex before marriage is just terrible and DANGEROUS according to the dumbasses at your ACLU.

According to a recent report prepared for Representative Henry A. Waxman (D-CA), many abstinence-only-until-marriage curricula used by federally funded programs contain false and misleading information and perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Perhaps most alarmingly, these curricula misrepresent the effectiveness of contraceptives by vastly understating the effectiveness of condoms at protecting against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and preventing unintended pregnancy. Such misinformation is particularly alarming given that each year in the United States, nearly 9.1 million 15-24 year olds are infected with an STD and more than 800,000 15-19 year olds become pregnant.

Well, does the ACLU know the meaning of abstinence? Hello? I bet the ACLU has stock in Trojan, or some other condom manufacturer.

Not only is the cirriculum dangerous according to the ACLU, but it appears to be unsafe as well....

ACLU affiliates in 18 states called on local officials to keep unsafe abstinence-only-until-marriage programs out of the classroom.

Yeah, no sense in teaching this DANGEROUS and UNSAFE course to students. No, let's not teach them something like abstinence for crying out loud. For the ACLU being all big on choice, they sure don't want our kids to have a choice in abstinence.

Here's a clue as to WHY they don't want this abstinence taught in the classroms...

“For too long the federal government has funded abstinence-only-until-marriage curricula that are based on ideology and religion rather than science,” said Jennifer McAllister-Nevins, State Strategies Attorney for the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project and Not In My State campaign coordinator.

Anti-Christian group that the ACLU is, there ya have it. They don't care anything about the abstinence being taught, it's the moral standards supporting abstinence in which they take issue.

Hey, here's a thought...if the ACLU is so much for my choice then why not teach both and let the parents decide which course their child will sign up for? I personally do NOT want sex education taught in schools period, because of crap like the ACLU pulling right now. I am very capable of teaching my own child about the birds and the bees, thank you very much.

Another reason the ACLU is up in arms about the abstinence program being taught in schools...

In addition, many of these programs promote gender stereotypes, discriminate against gay and lesbian youth and all too often proselytize on the public’s dime.

There you have it, not only are they anti-christian but they are anti-heterosexual.

Full Load Of Crap

This whole thing started over at Merri's Musing by the way. Although she is talking about some other program they want taught in public schools; a little course about tolerating homosexuality - go read it!
