Many new state laws take effect on July 1 in the U.S., also the first day of the new budget year.
Colorado on Sunday banned abstinence-only sexual education programs in all public schools (with the exception of one school, and it is unclear why). Now, all sex ed has to be taught based on scientific research and the schools MUST provide contraception information. Well, it's about time! I just wish all states could see the logic with this and follow suit.
For too long now, states have been trying to tell kids that you don't have sex until you're married. Sex leads to babies and sexually transmitted diseases, and the only way to avoid this is to avoid having sex.
Hello!!! Kids will be kids, and teenagers will always be teenagers. They will experiment with alcohol and they will have sex, whether you know about it or not. It is so much better to give them the education and the facts they need to know to protect themselves, instead of turning a blind eye and hope that their natural urges will just disappear. They will have sex. Sex is a natural part of life. Perhaps the conservative legislators have forgotten what it's like?
Sometimes this stupid, conservative country makes me want to puke.

Ja det är verkligen skrämmande att det är först nu man "kommit på" att man kan lära ungdomarna detta istället för att stoppa huvudet i sanden. Läskigt! Har du kollat in min nya kattunge som jag hittade i söndags och har adopterat?! Hur söt som helst jag lovar :)
Ha en bra helg! ak
