Separation of Church and State.

[symatech]

i think you guys did not read what i wrote after the 3 examples. "immediately after these arguments were made they were sure to point out that "none of these HAD happened but they COULD happen if we teach sex ed"

basically, there were some people preaching that this is possible if you teach sex ed in school. they were also claiming that it would somehow be against the will of the church to teach sed ed in school and therefore should not be done. this is clearly related to church and state.

mr death, I disagree. I think it has everything to do with church and state. There is a heap of legislation drawn strictly from church guidlines. on what is morally right and wrong. abortion for example (but thats for another thread) so I think it has everything to do with church and state. there are two sides to everything. the church is not automatically 'right'

Personally, i could not believe when they said they didnt want to teach sex ed because the 3 examples above COULD happen. I can play the What if game all day long but it doesnt amount to dry ****. I could die driving to work in the morning, that doesnt mean i should stay home the rest of my life....

I don't think it has anything to do with church and state..

The parents of a child have the right to teach that child thier moral standards,

Not the dictated morality of someone else..

that is what is at issue..

Then the school come back with the argument that some families won't teach anything to the children.. thus endangering the child...

example is... a 14 yr old girl believing she will not get pregnant if she has sex standing up......... and yes it still happens..

I agree that if anyone thinks those three situations are possible they are grossly misguided, and that is a ridiculous argument against sex ed in schools.

The only thing our constitution guards against in regards to the seperation of church and state is the legislation of the establishment of a state church. If the government wants to make laws that are drawn from any religious text that is completely within their right as our constitution is written.
