Or maybe he should have just passed out appropriate cards & candies that didn't blatantly proselytize or foist his mother's religious views on his classmates.
And perhaps the High School should have passed on the Love Fest and concentrated on college prep course academics instead of drunken sex prep instruction.

[[LEFT]More brainwashing posing as tolerance. No wonder so many parents reject liberal public schools.[/LEFT]

We have a 50% drop-out rate at high schools and we are teaching them how to put a condom on a cucumber? That will certainly get you into the best colleges. They come out of school dumb and dumber. It is no wonder they need remedial help when applying to community colleges.[/LEFT]
I agree! Another Really Stupid Meaningless Holiday makes people do stupid things like preach religion at a PUBLIC school...the cooky kid's parents are morons....
If nobody ever sent you a Valentine, I guess it would be.
Those darn catholic priests seem to have them out numbered though, don't you think. Yet they are still held in such high esteem.
Currently there are hundreds of known "female" teachers who've had sex with their students, both male and female. That's within the past few years. Not as headline grabbing as the priest scandal was about ten to twenty years ago but still an alarming number.
And no mention about the drunken sex simulation done by the high school ?
Why? I don't think teaching safer sex is a bad thing, and learning to put on a condom while impaired seemed to teach a good lesson - if you can't get it on, don't GET IT ON!
All same sex couples are end of the line for that branch of the family (unless they were in a hetero relationship producing children before later becoming confused).
I guess you've never heard of surrogacy or sperm donors? Oh, and you're also assuming these folks don't have siblings.
Who really cares, anyway? I think we have enough starving people in this world, and children rotting away in foster care... no need for everyone to reproduce, in fact that would only hasten the decline of our environment.

Logic fails some people, huh? I'll explain - if we teach teens how to properly use condoms, the dropout rates might actually fall! Do you know the statistics on teen parents and their academic futures? I'd have to research the actual numbers, but I know a high percentage end up dropping out after the baby is born. So if you're really that concerned about these rates, I'd think you would applaud efforts to reduce teen pregnancies.
Btw, according to the article this event "tried to promote acceptance and tolerance at school and safe decisions in the intimate moments that could happen at that age."
Call me crazy, but that seems like a MUCH more crucial message than "Jesus loves you" - especially when we're talking about urban high school students, in a city with an incredibly diverse population. We have our share of Christians around here, but they're far less of a majority than in most American regions.
