Another great spoof on this kind of reaction is the Family Guy episode where Lois gets fired for teaching Sex Ed and they bring in the holy roller to talk about abstinence instead.

I guess if you get your values from family guy, I understand where you are coming from.
A fourth of teenage girls have STDs, and unmarried pregancy is the quickest way to put a young lady into poverty.
When you destroy the traditional family, you destroy society. Fortunately there are people in our nation still teaching values.
I wish family guy would make a program on people in the hospital dying from AIDS. Impoper sexual activity can and does have dire consequences.
I wish the distillers would advertise their product by showing all the highway deaths it creates. People want to have "fun" without considering the consequences. God makes it clear people reap what they sow.
It reminds me of the old Far Side cartoon, with the caption "the committee to decide whether spawning should be taught in school". Dunno if anyone else remembers it, but it always cracked me up...if ya haven't seen it, the point of the visual joke was that some people are frankly just not fit to judge certain things.

This one?

You couldn't possibly...you're making an assumption.

Right in to the trap ! Sorry. Yes, you're absolutely correct! In fact, the divorce rate is highest in the Bible Belt. States which have, in the last ten years, successfully pushed for abstinence education have posted increasing disease and pregnancy rates. The "family values" to which they are exposed only delay their statistical inclusion by a year or two, during which time they continue to be "active" (though not in the traditional missionary sense), and what they do would probably make all their mothers blush.
I'd rather at least give people a frickin' moral compass by which to navigate the treacherous waters of physical and emotional relationships. People who advocate things like "abstinence education" are taking that compass away and turning their heads when their offspring founder in those waters.

Half my extended family is Evangelical Christians. One of my cousins has been married twice (working on round three), and has two kids. Another of my cousins has one kid and is getting married (for the first time) to a guy in a couple weeks (not the kid's father). Another of my cousins recently divorced. They're all in their 20s. What on earth are you teaching these kids?

I figure your point is that AIDS isn't funny. They know that and so do I. My point is, if you'd be willing to talk about how to avoid it while being a normal human being, vs denying your own humanity or sticking your head in the sand and inviting everyone else joint you, there'd be nothing on the subject for a show like Family Guy to make fun of.

Starting with unrealistic expectations and broken hearts, and ending with out-of-wedlock children and disease. My father was the result of an unplanned pregnancy. I was a surprise too, and so was my son. We're human. None of those unplanned pregnancies had dire consequences because the people who mattered most (immediate and close family), were extremely supportive. My grandparents and parents were and still are married, I broke up with my son's mother before we knew she was pregnant, it was her family which was most supportive of my inclusion in his life and I have a lot to thank them for. None of the people involved needed a church, nor do any of them attend church. We were raised by good parents, with fairly traditional family values...yup, our parents didn't talk to us about the things that mattered most. They kept our eyes shut just like that idiotic school board undoubtedly does, judging by their reaction to a teacher in a bikini. That's what I think of when I hear "traditional family values"...ignorance and abstinence. It took dating an insatiably bisexual girl who volunteered for NARAL before I learned much of what I know regarding disease prevention (fortunately I was young!), and having an accident on my own before I learned to be properly careful.
Instead of "pregnancy is bad!" How about "life of poverty" and "twenty percent of your gross income, not tax deductible" plus "good luck finding a date" and "maybe your family will like you again in a few years"?
Instead of "just be abstinent!" How about "use this, or you'll be sick and disfigured for the rest of your life" plus "good luck finding a date" and "penicillin can't cure everything"?
Why do you think HPV has a vaccine available? Because it's increasingly common, few people are even aware they have it, it's easy to transmit, it can cause cervical cancer, and people are human...even if they're just "doing it in the ear" like in the Family Guy episode. I'd hate to marry a girl who claimed she was as pure as the driven snow, and find out a decade later we both had HPV and she with cervical cancer because she "did it in the ear" one time back in college.

So be clearer, because I swear half the people don't know what they'll sow, and the other half apparently don't want to tell them. Self-imposed ignorance only clouds the issues. Sorry Jan, ya hit one of my buttons!

Thanks for the good and logical post. I have never watched Family Guy as it seems to nauseate me. I am sure from what you posted though, it was making fun of abstinence education in that episode. My point is we have a society that is flaunting its liberal thinking. I grew up in the 60s and am very familiar with this. In doing so it ends up mocking traditional Christian values.
I know very well what the Bible teaches and how it expects Christians to live. Nobody lives up to its standards but to see it as irrelevant as many in our society would today, misses the whole point. We have a crisis on our hands and with people like Howard Stern corrupting traditional moral values, it will not get better.
Whats funny is people like Stern can make million of dollars by preaching filth and a lot of people are ok with it. Now if a preacher does one little thing wrong they hang him out to dry. Its also ironic on how good is denigrated, and evil is glorified.
I just listened on how the Warden Kane of Angola State prison turned the place around through standing on the truth of the gospel. We need men of principle like this today, who will do the right thing for the right reasons.
As for the teacher, you would have to be pretty ignorant not to know what Howard Stern is about. If you hang around losers you will become one yourself.
I saw a show on a nice attractive Christian school teacher who was doing an excellent job. She lost her job because some of her students found porn videos of her when she worked in the industry in a previous life, before becoming a Christian. I thought that was wrong but teachers are held to a higher standard like preachers. So do not do anything to put your integrity in jeopardy as it can be costly.
orly? I didn't realize public schools taught that either, but I guess in your deluded world they do, but then again, religion never has been one to promote free thinking, just what your gold inlaid comic book spews. Take your bullsh!t to your religious forums pinhead.
Damn others don't jump on you for spouting your non religious beliefs do they? Time to act like a big boy

I say let them do it. Second graders shouldn't be watching Howard Stern anyways.
I do doubt the social intelligence of a teacher going on HS. I never understood why women go on Howard Stern to flaunt themselves. I think it's hilarious to see the likes of the "shock jock" mock the women that are so desperate for his approval. As nice as the view is, underneath it's kinda sad...
Good for Howard, though. Through fame he gets to belittle attention-hungry women that would never have given him the time of day if he weren't a celebrity

Sure glad read this thread. I planned on going on that show, now I'm not so sure .
The skit with the teacher was about hot chicks with ugly guys. You and Rox should do it.
