Telling them that abstinence is the only way to make sure you don't get pregnant is fine. But kids need the full picture... and you and I both know that when AC says "abstinence education," they mean "abstinence education and nothing else!"caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-85775962940319914182009-10-08T15:57:43.731-06:002009-10-08T15:57:43.731-06:00It would actually be a light, green jacket when yo...It would actually be a light, green jacket when you are referring to a feather-heavy, grass-colored jacket.<br /><br />I have no problem with abstinence education, as long as it's a part of a comprehensive plan. She doesn't mention abstinence-only sex education. But I couldn't get through the whole thing. I read up until she mentioned the Heritage Foundation and quit. I've read their garbage for a paper, and what they do can hardly be called studies.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221115861992845316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-37957769093857472792009-10-08T09:07:03.006-06:002009-10-08T09:07:03.006-06:00No relativism allowed this morning, Matt.

Your profile includes a direct e-mail address, plus enough info that I could triangulate your workplace and distinguish you from other individuals.

I'm not "attacking"; I'm questioning whether a rather generic name represents a distinct individual or a pseudonym in an echo chamber. AC provides me no means by which to verify the identity. Googling doesn't help.
