We need to help teach our children

I agree with Jamie’s blog post on Unplanned Parenthood about Senate Bill 521 causing more harm than good to Texas children. I firmly agree that it takes a village to raise a child. We as a nation “or world” need to ban together to help with properly educating our children to make the correct choices in life. Parents, teachers, aunts, uncles, grandparents and whoever else may be part of our children’s lives need to take it upon themselves to make sure that every child gets all the information possible to live a happy productive life. Sometimes leaving it up to the parents and only the parents is not the best couse of action. I agree wholeheartedly that the school is one of the best places (beyond what is taught at home, of course) to learn about safe sex and where to go if you are in trouble. Just because Planned Parenthood provides abortions they are going to remove the material from schools. I understand that this is more an attack towards Planned Parenthood, but in reality it is going to harm our children more in the end. Why does the state seem to think it is fair to remove necessary information from our children? Some parents need to also understand that having “the talk” with your kids is just as important though. I wish it were not deemed such an uncomfortable conversation to have with our kids. Sex is looked at as a bad thing and some think it is best to teach children abstinence. The majority of teenagers are going to have sex. Why not make sure they are armed with as much information possible to ensure their safety and to help cut down on unplanned pregnancies. It is more important to teach the repercussions of having unsafe sex and how to protect yourself, girls and boys alike.
