Win One for Sexuality EducationWe had some exciting news this week. After two years of organizing, parents and teens in Pittsburgh are celebrating a victory for comprehensive sexuality education. On Tuesday night the Pittsburgh school board voted 8-1 to drop the district’s abstinence-only-until marriage approach and to put in its place a curriculum that gives students the information they need to make healthy and responsible decisions about sex. We featured the early stages of this organizing effort in last year’s Freedom Files episode, The Freedom to Know: Sex Education . We applaud everyone who helped make this battle to ensure that Pittsburgh schools provide students with accurate and complete information about contraception and help them develop the skills they need to lead healthy lives. Now let’s hope our federal government sees the light and stops funding failed abstinence-only-until-marriage programs in our federal budget. You can help by sending a message to President Obama urging him to fund comprehensive sex education. As Pittsburgh goes, so goes the nation. . . .
We intend the comments portion of this blog to be a forum where you can freely express your views on blog postings and on comments made by other people. Given that, please understand that you are responsible for the material you post on the comments portion of this blog. The only postings that we ask that you refrain from posting and that we cannot permit on our website are requests for legal assistance and postings that could cause ACLU to incur legal liability.
One important law in that regard is the prohibition on politically partisan activity. Given our nonprofit status, we may not endorse or oppose candidates for elective office. That means we cannot host comments on our site that show a preference for one candidate or party. Although we in no way wish to discourage you from that activity elsewhere, we ask that you not engage in that activity on our website (or include links to other websites that do so). Additionally, given that we are subject to very specific rules concerning the collection of personally identifying information through our website (names, email addresses, home address, financial information, etc.), we ask that you not use the comments portion of this blog to solicit this information from users of our website. We also ask that you not use the comments portion for advertising or requests for legal assistance, and do not add to your comment links to other websites, as we cannot be responsible for the content on other websites. We are not able to respond to unsolicited inquiries, complaints or requests for assistance sent to this blog. Please direct your complaint or request for assistance to the ACLU affiliate in your state. Requests for legal assistance left in the blog comments will not receive a response or be published.

Why do all the Fags and Dykes at the aclu live and breathe sex.
SEX, SEX, SEX. That's all these sodomites think about. The aclu supports North American Man-Boy Love Association, which proves that all fags want to rape children.
Hell is waiting for you queers!!

Good grief. Yeah, lets be encouraging and educating our kids about sex before they should be having it? Sure, sounds like an excellent idea! If you want to keep throwing our tax money to the pregnant teens who now need food stamps and overrun the WIC programs because they were young and stupid and let their hormones rage... because the school says "hey, it's okay!" I'm all for no sex before marriage. It's a God-given institution for MARRIED people. I very much enjoy sex with my husband, and will be teaching those morals to our children. Sex is for when you are MARRIED, and for no other time in your life. Let's be responsible people here and stop living in the flesh. You all scare me with you whako ideas on sex ed.
