BUT OF COURSE, GOVERNMENT IS 'NEUTRAL'

The Center for Disease Control has come under fire for its promotion of sexual activity in teens in the guise of sex education:
Taxpayer funds are being used for school sexuality education programs that subvert the idea of abstinence for teens and target children as young as 9 years old with lessons on masturbation, condom use and homosexuality, say opponents of the courses.

The CDC programs--which are ostensibly on their way out--include:
— Becoming a Responsible Teen: Originally designed for teens from 14 to 18, it suggests in a list of recommended activities a trip to the grocery store to examine the different kinds of lubricants for condom use.

— Be Proud! Be Responsible!: Designed for adolescents from 13 to 18, it includes “brainstorming” about different ways to make condoms sexy. It also includes role-playing situations involving “negotiating safe sex” in bisexual and homosexual relationships.

— Focus on Kids: Designed for youths 9 to 15 years of age, provides “condom hunts” at local markets and a condom race to see who can apply the condom fastest.

Ah, condom races. Just a mention brings back all those fond memories of childhood.

How screwed up is government when this is sanctioned but the Ten Commandments is driven from the public square?
