ADDENDUM TO THOSE IN ISLAM OPPOSING SEX EDUCATION AND BEING REALISTIC:
Some misguided ones rail against sex education in schools, but overlook the unfortunate reality with regards to its needs. One North American expert, Jeanne Phillips, in her column Dear Abby said in response to a letter she received the following with the readers letter first:
Readers letter:
Dear Abby: My daughter, age 15, was just diagnosed with the herpes virus, and she is devastated by the news. I had cautioned her to wait until she was older to become sexually active because I understand that decisions made in haste cannot be unmade and some as in this case carry lifelong consequences. I also know that many, if not all, teenage girls do not cope very well with all the baggage that goes along with having sex.
Besides having to deal with a lifelong contagious disease and the possibility of infecting someone else, she has to deal with her irresponsible boyfriend who is threatening to tell people that they are infected and its all her fault.
Please tell me what I can do to protect my daughter from further harm. And please caution other teens about the risks of unprotected sex while letting them know that moms and dads really DO know what is best for them.
From a Devastated Mom in Ohio
Dear Mom, from Jeanne Phillips:
Because there have been financial cutbacks in education, comprehensive sex education classes are being and have been eliminated. I publish a booklet, What Every Teen Should Kiow, that is frank, informative and answers many of the questions teens ask about drugs, alcohol, and sex.
It can be ordered by sending your name and address, plus check or money order for $6 (US funds) to Dear Abbey, Teen Booklet, POB 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price.
You asked me how to protect your daughter now that her boyfriend is threatening to say that is all her fault. Much as you might wish to, you cant muzzle the young man. You can have a chat with his parents and let them impress upon their son how unwise that kind of slander would be for both of them.
And thats what Im advising you to do. [source Dear Abby column appearing in many newspapers]
So as can readily be seen, sex education unfortunately is quite necessary in all schools both public and private, and that any one railing against it is doing a great disservice to both the children and all concerned.
As I told one uninformed Islamic opponent of sex education, Young children should be taught about sexual predicators that are out to misuse them. Lack of sex education opens children to becoming victims of lovers of deviant sex. In fact, I have written educational articles on the subject in an effort to let all know that deviant sex is just plain wrong and is to be avoided. Promoting of the Ostrich syndrome, of see no evil, hear no evil, and speak of no evil, just primes young ones to becoming victims of pedophiles and other forms of sexual deviants, your entire post is just anti-productive nonsense. Children must be educated with respect the facts of sexual deviancy so as to enable them to resist becoming victims of sexual deviants. Get real!
Also, I highly recommend one book for all young people and their parents, Questions Young People Ask Answers That work, published by Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania.
And as brought out by a former state senator in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Robert A. Hall:
I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day
I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and
daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight
offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't
"believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning
teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the
genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and
Shari'a law tells them to.
I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must
let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic
schools to preach hate in America, while no American group is allowed to
fund a church, synagogue, or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love
and tolerance.
I'll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was
heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let
themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims who tortured and beheaded
Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine
Lt. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the
blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the
Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls
were Christian. Then we'll compare notes. British and American soldiers are
the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts,
instead of hiding from in fear.

It is high time that all look at reality instead of railing against imaginary things and feeling they are better than others and should have special treatment instead of assimilating into the real society of the world.
