Collegiate Sex-Ed

Over on the Witherspoon Institute’s web magazine, The Public Discourse, Ryan Anderson has an excellent piece called “Collegiate Sex-Ed.” It takes a knowing look at the morally bankrupt conceptions of sexuality prevalent on elite college campuses and then looks at efforts to correct this, most notably the Anscombe Society at our alma mater.
More on collegiate chastity here and here.

I believe that knowledge leads to better choices. That means that students have the right to be taught about their bodies and the consequences of using it in risky situations, or not at right time of life. What i mean is, there are obvious consequences of having sex (and then a child) while still in school or college. It can mean the end of your education and lead to poverty. At least to less than your potential.
I believe in the choice to use contraception if you make the choice to have sex. Some here would disagree. That’s fine..everyone has an opinion. This choice needs education, by someone.
I believe that the best way to prevent something is not to do what may cause it to happen. Therefore, nothing wrong with obstaining.
I used to believe that having children while still in school or out of marriage was something that started in the last 50 years or something. But, it has happened forever. No doubt. And it will happen with or without education by schools, parents, church, etc. But, with education, SOME students will make the right choices. Without it, there will definitely be more mistakes.
It’s like learning to drive. If no one teaches you, it takes you longer to drive safely.
Have a great day
