Excellent point. If there are no value laden words, judgments can never be made and conduct can never really be criticized. But then, maybe that's the point..... JLA

But I'm not willing to give them up for those reasons.



I'm not trying to give up anything, only choosing the best and clearest message. I don't think decency is it.

I don't know why we argue so much about words. We started out talking about the efficacy of an abstention-only public health program. Assuming decency is the message, how do we incorporate that into sex-ed class and make it work all by itself?
