BATON ROUGE — The House Education Committee voted 10-3 Wednesday to reject legislation that would have required comprehensive sex education to be taught in public and charter schools.

The legislation would have required sex education to be taught in grades 4-12. The state Department of Education would have been responsible for setting guidelines and recommending teaching materials. Parents could have requested their child be excused from being taught sex education.

Voting against the bill were Reps. Stephen Carter, R-Baton Rouge, Chris Broadwater, R-Hammond, Henry Burns, R-Haughton, Simone Champagne, R-Erath, Cameron Henry, R-Metairie, Paul Hollis, R-Mandeville, Barry Ivey, R-Baton Rouge, Jerome “Dee” Richard, I-Thibodaux, Robert Shadoin, R-Ruston, and Jeff Thompson, R-Bossier City.

Good. Let the parents decide what to teach their children.

In order to do that they would have to make more time for more classes.

And they can't do away with important things like teaching… French…

The solution is clearly abstinence only education and prayer in schools.

God forbid they decide to teach real world information to make society better at preventing real world problems.

if you feel that way, home school your kid and stop handicapping the rest of the public school system with your archaic values. If you have a problem with what they are being taught, DONT SEND THEM THERE.

Amen. The less educated are the ones that tend to spread disease and have unplanned pregnancies. Something needs to be done. It really is not hard to not get someone pregnant or avoid an STD.
