Letter: So much wrong with this picture Jul 27, 2008
Our public schools teach our children that sexual behaviors with persons of the same gender are OK, and doing it outside of marriage with anyone is also OK, as long as it is "safe sex." However, it is wrong for public schools to teach abstinence from sex until marriage and to include the natural law principles that sex is for a committed heterosexual couple and the procreation of children. Also, our public schools can transport our daughters to an abortion facility without their parents'... (Appeal Democrat, CA)
