Tax money at work in Maryland
According to the Washington Times, the Montgomery County Board of Education has voted in favor of a pilot program to teach 10th graders how to use condoms and "discuss homosexuality and other non-traditional lifestyles."
There are any number of serious problems with the very concept of condom ed in the schools. First, there's the question of whether public schools ought to be in the business of teaching minors how to engage in sex. To the extent that government schools have a legitimate or useful role in this area, it ought to be focused on discouraging sexual activity until marriage and alerting students to the health dangers that can result from sexually transmitted diseases.
I am complete agreement with the editors of the Times. It is absurd that a public school is teaching minors how to engage in sex. If I ever have children, and given my social calendar of late that is highly unlikely, I won't be sending them to public school. This program is immoral for sure, but I think it should be criminal.
