CDC-Funded Sex Ed Programs Draw Fire

OK, if you want to read the whole thing, go to FoxNews.com or click here yourself. This is the part to get you steaming. (I do not know how long the link will be good)
[I apologize for starting in the middle of the article]
...Among the programs that the CDC was "putting to work" before the order to kill them (The programs) were: — Becoming a Responsible Teen: Originally designed for teens from 14 to 18, it suggests in a list of recommended activities a trip to the grocery store to examine the different kinds of lubricants for condom use. — Be Proud! Be Responsible!: Designed for adolescents from 13 to 18, it includes “brainstorming” about different ways to make condoms sexy. It also includes role-playing situations involving “negotiating safe sex” in bisexual and homosexual relationships. — Focus on Kids: Designed for youths 9 to 15 years of age, provides “condom hunts” at local markets and a condom race to see who can apply the condom fastest. Rector said all of the programs give the concept of abstaining from sex a nod, but the emphasis on condom use and sex play is over the top. "Its not as if every word in them is bad, but they have a considerable amount of material that no sane parent is going to want their kid exposed to," he said. You can also go to the CDC website to look up more. This is one of those things that just make you wonder how people get these jobs. Last thing.... Is this really progressive thinking, Just a bad idea that got through, an agenda for the far left, or even the "free love" community? You tell me.
