Sex Education And The General Welfare Of The United States

The European model of democracy pushed by The Open Society Institute and its ACLU’s allies has an agenda in the United States involving sexual education. This agenda is population control and how to effectively administer it. Here is an address from the radical University of California at San Francisco Center of Aids Prevention Studies.

Other countries have been much more successful than the US in addressing the problem of teen pregnancies. Age at first intercourse is similar in the US and five other countries: Canada, England, France, the Netherlands, and Sweden, yet all those countries have teen pregnancy rates that are at least less than half the US rate. Sex education in these other countries is based on the following components: a policy explicitly favoring sex education; openness about sex; consistent messages throughout society; and access to contraception.

Often sex education curricula begin in high school, after many students have already begun experimenting sexually. Studies have shown that sex education begun before youth are sexually active helps young people stay abstinent and use protection when they do become sexually active. The sooner sex education begins, the better, even as early as elementary school.

The article neglects to mention the total fertility rates of the countries. In the January 2005 CIA World Fact Book the following Canada: 1.61, United Kingdoms: 1.66, France: 1.85, The Netherlands: 1.66, Sweden: 1.66, and the United States 2.08. A fertility rate of 2.1 is considered the rate necessary to sustain a population with no growth which means of the countries named. The United States is by far the most stable country an 1% die back of the native population compared with a 23% die back for Canada our neighbor to the North. So for the United States to nearly sustain its population teen pregnancy is needed.

Here is an article from Stanford University News service that collides with their liberal buddies from San Francisco. In this case the agenda is to push the birth control pill on Japan whom has an exceedingly low birth rate.

On the birth rate, the authors say using this argument "as a basis for continuing a ban of one of the most widely used methods of contraception is both illogical and unacceptable," since "economic and socio-cultural factors control the birth rate of a modern population; the quality or use of contraceptive methods is a secondary effect."

Any method of contraception but condoms and the natural birth control method are illegal in Japan . Nerveless Japan has an exceedingly low teen birth rate Which brings me to the observation that abstinence only sex education which is designed to encourage a change in the socio culture factors which lead to a high teen fertility rate in the United States is wrong while not using contraceptives in Japan is wrong because their economic and socio cultural is what keeps the fertility rate low. This sounds like another case of liberal insanity to me. Either one or the other can be true not both.
