Home Schooling is the only protection.

With a slick marketing campaign, special interest groups, the media and our own provincial government have convinced many people that an all-inclusive sex education program will make our kids ‘street wise’ so they can avoid social problems and avoid unwanted pregnancies. They tell us that any sexual variation is OK as long as you use contraceptive chemicals or devices but the facts don’t back up their misinformation.
In 1976 the provincial government introduced a sex education program into our schools which encouraged students to refrain from sexual activity and to keep it within the bounds of marriage. Between 1976 and 1987 teen pregnancy fell significantly. Keep in mind this program was designed to discourage pre-marital sexual activity rather than equip adolescents for ‘safe-sex’.
In 1986 the province provided large funds to the Health Dept. to change the sex-ed. program to a condom/contraception- based program in our schools and for the next 20 years teen pregnancy, promiscuity and sexually-based diseases increased dramatically.
In 1997 the Hamilton-Wentworth Family Action Council, www.hamiltonfamilyaction took action and convinced their County government to stop financing the Health Dept.’s safe-sex program. Within 2 years teen pregnancy dropped over 22% and in-clinic visits declined 57%, proving that the less adolescents are exposed to condom-based/ value free sexual indoctrination from Public Health/Planned Parenthood Clinics, the lower the teen pregnancy rates. On top of that they saved their county hundreds of thousands of tax dollars. Even Public Health admits that the greater the availability of birth control, the greater the adolescent sexual activity.
Under much criticism, the Ugandan government chose to use abstinence-based sex ed. programs for their people and is the only part of Africa that has reduced incidence of AIDS.
The truth is, the less our youth are exposed to the Public Health ‘safe sex’ ideology, the safer they are and like it or not, the best method of birth control for adolescents, continues to be their parents.
Parents have a right and an obligation to teach their children, in their own way, in their own time, without being upstaged by domineering social engineers hiding under the guise of educational professionals.
Under our present political will, the only alternative parents have is to start home-schooling which has increased to 80,000 children in Canada and still growing.
