If this thread made any sense, you might actually have a good point. And yes, you do have the right to an opinion - as do I.

If contributing multiple posts to a thread implies an obsession, we are all in need of serious therapy.

P.S. "His link" is the official museum's link to information on the exhibit - which is probably what you should have posted in the OP, instead of some inflammatory/biased Fox News piece. But simply presenting the facts wouldn't have served your agenda, right?

I think we know the answer to that question... LOL.

Nice try, but teen pregnancies have gone DOWN in recent years - most likely thanks to proper sex education, open dialogue and awareness. Would you rather the kids figure things out for themselves, or do you actually believe they won't have sex if you pretend it doesn't exist (outside of baby-making after marriage)?

Out of curiosity, what DO you think the schools & parents should cover in terms of sex education... if anything? What do you think is appropriate, and at what age?

Those matters are the parent's responsibility, and it is for the parents to determine the right time.

A report this week in the journal Reproductive Health describes what researchers call “a strong association” between the teenage birth rate of a particular state and its “level of religiosity.”

The correlation is not what you might expect. The more religious the state, the higher the rates of teen pregnancy. Religion's Link to Teen Pregnancy - NYTimes.com

OMG ! Protect the children ! The liberals are going to destroy this world ! Canada has no values, no morals ! bla, bla,, bla. Why are Americans so uptight ? Like if a 12 years old child doesnt know what a penis or a vagina is.
This is why Canada is far better than this ****-hole country.

I don't see what the problem is. I became interested in sex around the age of 11 (I'm sure I wasn't the only one) so the younger kids are taught about sex and how to protect themselves, the better.

People are in great denial if they think that keeping sex a secret will make it go away, lol.
