I am a parent of two children in FFCS and I am all for educating our children about how babies are made and what they can expect to be happening to their bodies as they go through puberty; but I am not in favor of a highly politicized organization with a definitive political agenda to be brought into the public schools to teach their version of sexuality to my very impressionable 12 year old. Before posting comments on this article you must read go to www.notinourschool.com and read what is included in Planned Parenthood's Educational Agenda. Encouraging 12 and 13 year olds not to consult with their parents on issues as serious as sexuality is reprehensible and damaging to children and families, and ultimately to our community. Leave parenting up to the parents; good or bad, parents have a right to raise their children as they see fit. As for the person who commented that parents have the right to withdraw their children, that may be true -- but then you must remember, those children also have a right to an education! FFCS is a great school system and I am confident they, along with the help of the community, can come up with a more effective plan to combat the teen pregnancy problem.
