That's all well and good but not that easy. 30% is black and white, but 70% is a broad range of gray. The gray areas will be lighter or darker depending on perspective. Saying it is easy, doing it is not.

Actually I'd prefer the schools to be teaching real subjects, but historically, we know the parents don't/won't.

Most of us here think the message being taught by Rockville Pregnancy Center is at best incomplete. I'd have little problem with it, if the school brought in another group next week, like Planned Parenthood, to teach contraception. That would give the kids the whole ball of wax.

But, and it's a big but, what do the parents want taught? What do the parents want the schools to give their kids besides the book learnin'? I think they deserve to be consulted of this.

You might be able to make a case for contraception and STDs in Biology class, but not everybody takes Biology. So what subject heading does this fall under, for the whole school? Very gray.
