History of personal freedom? History of government take over of personal lives. Kids belong to society and people don't care.

If there are any, they are not living up to their responsibility to know and approve or disapprove what their children are learning and doing at school.
But this is nothing new.

I'm sure there are.
Ignorant that it could happen? Possibly, but if they know it can happen and they don't care, then they of course have demonstrated they've walked down further down the road.
I don't think you understand what I'm saying since you are so far down that road you don't see it either.

Originally posted by EladarI understand that there are some parents that are incompetent and don't know it, and their kids need help from their teachers. Society has a stake in the raising of children and in helping minimize unwanted teen pregnancy.

Originally posted by no1marauder*slow clap* Give it up for the most brilliant pedagogical post in the debates forum, folks.
There are far more and far greater health risks associated with pregnancy than with the use of an IUD.
Yes, pregnancy can be a worse option for teens. I'm not against birth control. That's why I'm pro passing out condoms in school, or even birth control pills, provided that a school nurse or physician finds it safe for that particular teen to use. I also don't think parental consent should be needed for this (my first post was a mistype).
