Why do candidates for President continually talk about abortion instead about the lack of   guide lines for sex education in our nation’s schools? Each area can pretty much stress whatever they want. Should we do that in history class too? Of course not. Perhaps that is why there is more teen pregnancy in some areas than others in America and why frat boys are completely out of control.  We have a department of Health and Education that does nothing to clarify this issue nationally.

With the kids going back to school soon it should be guaranteed that middle school kids should be getting some sort of sex education class but the content is different from state to state. Why is there no required standard for sex education in this country? Only 22 states mandate that kids receive it.  Only 13 states require that the instruction be medically accurate. Really?  You wouldn’t expect that your history class be accurate why not sex class? We have a weird patchwork system that varies in content from not only district to district but from state to state. From school to neighboring school the content could be very different. Why? Is our sexuality different from school to school? Hell no!

In Ohio the state has NO guidelines for sex education so each school decides whatever they want to tell their kids on the subject. Many school districts don’t want to talk about it at all. The school won’t even tell you what they teach and when they teach it. Why the big secret? Curriculum should be public information. In Mississippi they can talk about contraceptives   but the law says they can’t demonstrate how to put a condom on say on a banana or cucumber. Maybe that is why Mississippi ranked number 2 in teen pregnancy rates. The kids must be blowing up balloons with the condoms there.  In 8 states ironically located in the south there are laws limiting what teachers can say about sexuality to their students.  

Utah’s laws state that they are not allowed to discuss “the intricacies of intercourse…”  The lawmakers there say you should be taught that stuff at home. Does anyone want to be homeschooled about sex? Hell no! In certain areas around the country you may receive abstinence only as an education. Sara Palin’s daughter had a abstinence only foundation after her out of wed lock teen pregnancy and then had another child out of wed lock with yet another man. None of this works or makes sense.  We need National guidelines for our nation brought forward by our health and department of education especially before candidates talk about reversing our abortion laws and trying to tear down a good organization like Planned Parenthood.

Congress recently increased funding to $75 million dollars a year for programs that promote sexual abstinence until marriage. Meanwhile according to the CDC the Center for Disease Control the number of sexual partners one has in a lifetime is increasing and the average one starts to have sex is around 17 years old.   Money should be thrown at various birth control options since everyone is having sex anyway including the idiots like the Douger Family with their 21 kids and one of them being a family values pedophile preacher. The average woman loses her virginity at age 17. These kids   cannot   leave school with only abstinence being taught.

At the well watched Republican debate Donald Trump made reference to the announcer’s menstrual cycle like some negative mood swing. We do not need candidates who pass judgement on abortion rights and who make light of the miracle of the many facets of a woman’s body and thoughts. We need a National respect for sexuality in the various shapes and forms America wants.
