83% of people out of touch

Or of course you can turn that around and say maybe the media is out of touch with a large majority of families. But that wouldn't do, the media moguls know us better than we do ourselves.

Parents Want Their Kids to Practice Abstinence, Support Education Programs

An overwhelming number of parents want their kids to practice abstinence until marriage and support abstinence education programs that drive that point home. Though six states have announced their intent to refuse federal funding for abstinence-only education, a new Zogby poll shows they are out of touch with Americans.

The poll found that 83% of parents want their children to save sex until marriage and a majority of families believe that programs should reinforce the abstinence message when broaching sex ed in the classroom.

"Despite left-wing pressure to abandon abstinence-only education, a survey of over 1,000 parents found overwhelming support for the programs," Family Research Council president Tony Perkins told LifeNews.com on Monday.

Running interference

Crowhill Weblog: U.S. out of the U.N., U.N. out of the U.S.

“That no child is subjected to corporal punishment.”

“Public [i.e., government] education for the first time would be a ‘right’ to all children of the United States under the UN Convention. Parents interfering with the child’s right to choose [government] education would be violating his rights and could be subject to prosecution.”

The odds that something like this would ever be adopted in the U.S. are close to zero, IMO, but this kind of thing shows the kind of socialist nonsense that comes out of the U.N.

It’s a useless organization and it’s past time for us to get out.

That pretty much sums it up. I would disagree that the odds of adoption are close to zero. The fact that this garbage is pushed through the liberal states first and then as it becomes "the accepted norm" by the media, other states are beaten into submission. See California and Corporal Punishment.

It is worse than useless and its wares are not just nonsense. It has a purpose, one that it tries so hard to hide.
