Am I willing to throw away one of the great accomplishments of western civilization so that a kind knows how to put a condom on a banana? How elegantly you phrase that.

As it happens, I think that there is more to public education than reading, writing, and understanding the basic building blocks of math -- including providing an education about sexuality and reproduction. [b]When it comes to skills that may save your life[/b], knowing how to put on a condom is way up there.[/quote]
Some feel that knowing how to properly handle and respect a firearm is a skill that may save your life.  Do you think that MCPS should be teaching children those skills as well.  My guess is that if the NRA's Eddie Eagle spoke at your kid's school, you'd be outraged and asking "Why are we getting away from reading, writing, and arithmetic?" [/quote]

Many people feel many things. Some of these are supported by actual public health data. Some of them are not.

But if you don't want your child to learn in school how to put on a condom, you should opt your child out. Your child can then learn this information second-hand, and unreliably, from your child's friends at lunch.[/quote]
Wow, looks like you missed the point completely.[/quote]
