You are wrong. At the core of the issue is teens developing the skills needed to make mature and responsible decisions. I do not accept that teens can not act responsibly when it comes to sex. Your disagreement with me make no sense - you act as if a teenage boy, for example, would stick his penis in any girl/woman without any thought and that the only hope is to make sure he has a condom. I think teenage boys can be discriminating and act responsibly if that is the expectation.

My point was that you hold sarah palin as the end all and be all of sexual teaching.

I have held my views long before I knew Palin existed. I don't see eye to eye with her on every sexual related issue. We differ big time on the question of marriage and sex based on her religious beliefs. We agree on the fact that children should abstain from sex.

And her method clearly didn't work, it reflects how AO as a whole around the country has failed.

And your approach to this topic is working??? Can you honestly say yes to that? I agree AO based on what has been done has had no impact, but i also think the AO attempts have been half assed. I think in part because of people like you and our School safety czar - whose sage advise to a teen soliciting sex in a bathroom with adults was to say "hope you used a condom". Hell, they should make me the School safety czar - at least I believe I can make a difference.
