AldinTheMad Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Shame the U.S. is forcing poor countries to adopt ABC sex ed by threatening to withdraw financial "aid". Sex workers have had their supplies of condoms from health/humanitarian organizations dwindle because of this. Let's not forget the Catholic Church in Africa, and birth control organizations that would rather sterilize people than give condoms (because we're overpopulated apparently). All this happens because they're 3rd worldI vote we elect Violet Blue tsar of Chastity Belts and Butt Plugs

Jul 7, 2008 - Oh god, I got that same pledge card in high school. "Sexual Purity"? "Risk elimination"? WTF, America?

UbiquitousChe Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Some of the stuff that goes on in America really boggles my mind. What's wrong with your government? Seriously, this is screwy. However many millions/billions of dollars on pushing a faith based agenda when America is however many millions/billions of dollards in national debt from financing the War on 'Terror'? What the hell?Great video. There needs to be more stuff like this.

Jul 7, 2008 - This is outrageous! They're essentially spreading ignorance in public schools using shame as tool.
AldinTheMad Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Yes and it's very hard for teachers who try and give any meaningful sex advice that is not mandatory, not in the curriculum; they don't get any recognition for doing so and they risk losing their jobs because of vigilant anti-sex/pro-abstinence activist parents. Not to mention we'd almost need a whole credited high school class on sexuality with qualified teachers, or at the very least have minimum requirements for who can be allowed to teach sex ed; some teachers are as clueless as students

Jul 7, 2008 - It's because a large majority of people have religion on the brain. It's worse then the problem with drugs.
lancstony Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - I hope no cure for Aids is ever found. In that way, the population of the sexually immoral and perverted will reduce.
sugarpuddin88 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - lancstony: That is rather Christian of you to say
jackdent1982 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - It is not Christian it is nazi. A true Christian would express compation poor people sick of AIDS. Also kids have AIDS.
SpookyFan Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - That lady should have a YouTube channel to promote this important topic.
