    You're not stopping them now. A FAR more effective measure is to address the bad parenting (which leads to teenagers doing risky things). How any given govt chooses to do that is beside the point, but examples would be criminal action taken against parents for every teen who comes to the attention of the either the medical profession for pregnancy/disease, or the police for drugs. Or hold the parents liable for ALL costs associated with whatever their kids do up until age 21. Whatever suits the given govt and society.

    Asking to buy someone a drink is like experiencing sexual assault. You have to be joking. You’re not? Jesus....

    And no, it isn’t one in a thousand. I can name several heterosexual friends that have accepted or appreciated a drink offer from another male. Not everyone is terrified of a drink offer.

    If a random stranger (male) approaches another man and offers to buy him a drink, I guarantee that it will be experienced as something like sexual assault. This isn't a pal buying a pal a beer, after all.

    We are talking about stds and pregnancy, not drugs. You seem to have jumped arguments.

    You want to charge parents for not teaching their children about std prevention.
    What do you think the going rate should be?

    ”Studies have shown that sexual education including std prevention and pregnancy prevention are directly correlated to declining rates.”

    Your response, “Let them figure that **** out on their own”

    Read what I wrote, properly this time. I clearly stated (twice) that it's experienced as something like sexual assault.

    So gay people should have to figure out stds on their own or kids should have to figure out they are gay on their own?

    If it’s the latter I don’t think explaining homosexuality and explaining safe sex is going to make kids gay. Do you?

    But it isn’t.
    That’s completely absurd.

    You may be correct about men who have insecurities or are blatant homophobes but most men simply do not care. If anything it should be taken as a complement, followed by a no thanks and the encounter is over. Only someone with major hang ups would feel like they have just been assaulted over someone asking to buy them a drink.

    You can write it two more times — doesn’t make it any more insane

    If you have to "figure out" that you're gay... you're probably not gay, besides, it's not the concern of the 90%+ kids who're not.

    I never insinuated that STD's should be "figured out" by anyone.

    Do you believe teaching children that homosexuality exists and ways to prevent std transmission will cause kids to become gay?

    Yes or no?

    And people absolutely have to “figure out” they are gay or straight or anything in between.
    Or did you know you were attracted to women at age 3?

    I don't believe it's important or necessary for middle school aged kids to learn about homosexuality or transgenderism. They certainly don't need to be instructed on what position they should have about such things either. Biological differences between men and women, reproduction, and yes STD's... that should be about the extent of public education regarding sex.

    Are you suggesting that sex ed should start at 3? What's it matter what I thought at 3?

    There's several problems here. First, there's no conclusive absolute consensus that sexuality outside heterosexuality is something other than an abnormal psychological state.

    The argument is that people are just "born that way"... yet some people "transition" back to their biological sex (provided they don't commit suicide first), and some others later "realize" that they're heterosexual. If it were true that one is "just born that way", there'd be nothing to figure out... but this is the approach we take... we basically encourage kids that haven't even developed physically or mentally that they should make assumptions about their sexuality at a time when it's not even relevant, because "they're born that way". Pure insanity.

    There's no legitimate reason to teach kids about abnormal sexuality in the public school setting. It's not important, it does nothing to prepare students to excel in the real world, it provides nothing of value to society at large. It simply amounts to progressive indoctrination of their views regarding sexuality.

    Ok

    Absurd

    So you believe homosexuals are created?

    Homosexuality including exclusive homosexuality has existed in every civilization since records have been recovered. It exists in the animal kingdom.

    There is also zero evidence that homosexuality is a normal state, but neither is heterosexuality, most research on arousal has shown that human sexuality exists on a spectrum with most people falling somewhere in the middle between the two.

    I remember way back in the day, when sex ed was 1st brought up to be taught in schools. Just how bad it was that schools are to teach such a subject and how terrible it will be.

    Now, its common place. Just like in a few years, teaching about sexual preferences of other people will be a ho hum deal.
    But there is always a group that opposes change. I guess that's why they are called conservatives. One of the definitions is to not change.

    How far should they go? Should they teach boys how to tuck their junk?

    I don't think anything about their junk has ever been taught.

    I'm saying a few things; I'm saying the science isn't settled, I'm saying knowledge of abnormal sexuality isn't needed for kids of public school age, and that sexual education in the public school should consist of biological differences between the two sexes, how reproduction works, gestational stages, STD's... you know... basic biological reality.

    For those who comprise less than 10% of the population and have urges which by their nature cannot fulfill the purposes of genitalia, they can figure it out on their own.

    Ok

    So what? Some people later "realize" that they're straight. This knowledge does nothing to better prepare people for life in the real world.

    Dude, we're an allogamous species, it's how we reproduce... that's why we have complimentary genitalia and reproductive organs.

    Again, I have to say so what. In the context of biology, the science is out to lunch. It's simply not relevant when discussing how to prepare people for life in the real world, people who've not even developed physically or mentally.

    It just boils down to progressives having too much influence in academia, and insisting that everyone accept their normalized view of the abnormal, under the guise of education.

    Drag queens don't think they are women or want to be women. Learn something.
