The only problem I have with sex ed in school is that it is not always proper in what they teach. I have friends that are teachers and they say a lot of these kids do not have the first clue about sex and they are 13 and 14. Before you can take the class your parents have to sign a permission slip. Many parents don't sign it. It should not be left up to a school to teach anyone's children about sex 100 percent. The high schools here actually have day care at them. In reality that is not the schools job. There are a lot of piss poor parents out there.
Yes I know McCain had Melanoma, but he is free of it now. He recently had a check up. When you live here in AZ, they inform you of everything that he does.

I am with you when I say that I feel for you. This kid made a mistake (well, I guess both he and Palin's daughter made the mistake together) and all of a sudden they were thrust into the national spotlight. Tell me this. I also agree that, for the most part they should be off limits. But, when your policies will have effect on families you should be required to show how your policy has effected your family. If your policy is to teach abstinence only and tell kids they are to wait until marriage to have sex, it should be brought to people's attention that your own daughter is knocked up at 17 and maybe your policy has a flaw. Should the kids be a tool of the campaign? No. But I think it is fair to point out your policy and how it has effected your family.
Maybe if there was more sex ed in schools there would be less need for daycare in those same schools.
