Whose Business is Sex Education? This remains to be one of the oldest and most crucial subjects which have been running in our societies for decades. I believe this and other topics alike need to be discussed and taken seriously. Sex education and many other subjects alike it have been the white elephant in the room for centuries. Our unwillingness to shed light on the subjects-- let alone discuss them openly with parents, teachers, students and the government, further complicates the issue more than it has to be. Opposition to the discussions of these subjects, often, but not always, come from the inner religious underlings of our western societies. This inter puts parents in a defensive position over what their children are taught. Teachers also fail to deliver these subjects effectively, and the continuous push by the government over these subjects to reduce AIDS infections, goes on. Fred writes, “more than a million teenagers become pregnant …show more content…
Sex is inevitable in their lifetime, so, telling them the right decisions to make and what to do, is no different than preparing your kid for what is to come. Just like many other things, teaching kids to make the right decisions and telling them about the consequences of bad decisions, does not in itself mean you are normalizing that subject, or encouraging sex, but rather showing them how to do it correctly if the times comes. The very essence of losing "traditional values" comes when the subject isn 't revised for the generation it’s in. This lacks criticism of where it falls behind with its compatibility in today 's society. Not discussing a subject doesn 't preserve it traditionally, that 's shoving it under the table until it’s forgotten. This results in teens doing the very thing you didn 't want them to do, with zero or poor knowledge of safety measures they could have taken to make things easier and
In today’s modern society, sex education is seen as one of the seven plagues of Egypt. Let’s face reality, kids as young as 10 years old are having sex. According to the public health data, the chlamydia rate among teenagers have sky rocked by 80 per cent in the past two decades. Is this the result of ignorance or the lack of knowledge? In the article “The Sex Ed Revolution: a portrait of the powerful political bloc that’s waging war on Queen’s Park” by Nicholas Hune-Brown, published in Toronto Life magazine on September, 3, 2015 parents are opposed to the new sex education curriculum for various reasons.
It’s now more common for sex to be a topic of conversation then it was forty plus years ago and teens are more open to talk about sex than past generations. “Texas lawmakers are still way out of step with common sense and public opinion. Some even argue that sex education gets teens so “hot and bothered” that they can’t wait to jump in the sack with each other. Check The Numbers”. People don’t like being told what do especially teens who feel they are treated like they don’t know a thing and are expected to act like adult but at the same time are treated like they aren’t intelligent and as if they were motivated by constant deviant thoughts.
What has the power to take a life has the power to preserve it, what has the power to love has the power to hate, what has the power to make the world a better place has the power to ruin it. The monumental power of choice resides in all of us and dictates the course of history. But the choice to live is one right that is being stolen every time a mother says no to the growing baby inside of her. Planned Parenthood is an industry that is worth 1 billion dollars that builds its foundation on the death of one million babies a year. In comparison the Holocaust, which was a reign of terror over the “inferior” populations of Europe, had over 11 million people who were helplessly murdered in the span of 12 years.
On Wednesday September 30th the House of Representatives passed a temporary spending bill. President Obama has signed that bill to avoid a government shutdown over the issue of defunding Planned Parenthood to cut spending. Planned Parenthood is the nations largest abortion provider, which is the reason why Republicans want to defund it, along with a recent video leak by anti- abortionist republicans of officials apart of Planned Parenthood discussing the illegal sale of fetal tissue. The video was said to be edited and the group denied any illegal activity. Planned Parenthood receives about twelve percent of its $528.4 million dollars from the government through grants and reimbursements from a law called Title X. Title X gives money to not only Planned Parenthood but also hospitals, schools, health departments, and other non- profits.
The Illinois Family Institute is just as the name says. It’s a family-based organization with conservative views, who promotes “marriage, family, life, and liberty”. Among this organization is Laurie Higgins, the author of the article “Parents Should Fight ‘Comprehensive’ Sex-Ed”. Initially from the title, the article looks like she would be in support of abstinence-only education, since it’s the opposite approach of comprehensive sex-ed. However, Higgins takes the conservative approach one step farther and alludes to the idea that public schools shouldn’t even teach students about sex.
Pro-Choice “77% of Anti-Abortion Leaders are men, 100% of them will never be pregnant” (Barbara Kruger). Whether to continue or end a pregnancy, has been a long debated topic, extending long after the Roe v. Wade case that went all the way to the Supreme court (ProCon). Abortion is defined as the intentional termination of a pregnancy, frequently performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy (Oxford University Press). Each year, over one million women in America chose to have an abortion (WebMD). What would happen if that right to choose was taken away?
Doris Gudino Professor Chounlamountry Political Science 1 27 July 2015 Pro-Choice Anyone? A woman has, undoubtedly, the freedom to procreate, but once a woman chooses to retreat from that freedom, a commotion arises. Abortion is a woman’s choice for many reasons. It’s her body, therefore, no one else can decide for said person.

There is always a constant debate on whether sex education should be taught in schools or not. Rapid population growth is one of the most critical problems that the Philippines has been facing throughout the years, and sex education is by far seen as the best solution to address the said issue, for its goal is to raise awareness among Filipinos on how to perform safe sex in order to prevent unwanted pregnancies. On the other hand, some parents and religious organizations are not in favor of implementing sex education because they are very convinced into thinking that implementing such curriculum would not only educate the students on how to perform safe sex but would also encourage them to do premarital sex as long as it is safe. But if it’s
Using their views on the accessibility of birth control, Planned Parenthood has been educating teens in schools about being sexually active and the different Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) that students could put themselves at risk for (Who We Are, 2014). Teaching kids about sex in school as a mandatory course has some mixed reviews. Some parents think that is not ethical to bring intercourse to the thoughts of their children when they should be learning more from their core curriculums. On the other hand, teenagers are known to have sex regardless if it is to their parents knowledge or not and the parents find it okay to enlighten the child about this type of
