>(distributing condoms,
abortions without the knowledge of the parents, sex education taken out of the
domain of the home and put in school to be handles the way they feel is
appropriate), homosexuality is presented as a lifestyle choice<

OH MY GOD- you have teachers doing abortions at your school without parental consent!!! Why this is a HUGE problem. Alert the newsmedia, alert the AMA.

As for the other stuff- sex education comes down to a child's right to know about THIER own body. Even if parents are absolute idiots, it doesn't mean the parents have a right to make their children ignorant morons as well (let them choose to be ignorant later- when they are old enough to make a choice, as you have done)- unless they home school them. And I know lots of home schooling families that are doing just that- I think it is a form of child abuse myself. With-holding medical treatment, withholding knowledge- no parent should be allowed to do that, imo. You can present your views, you can lay down your rules, but to keep a working knowledge of your child's body away from him/her seems to me to border on a health issue.
