Sex Education

Though this article is a little bit on the old side and outdated I felt that it was something that I needed to write about. There are so many arguments on education starting with where to spend the money to how much we should depend on standardized testing. When it comes to politicians, of course they are going to go to trashing the other side instead of listening to what anyone has to see. During an election year it is bound to be worse. I had never heard of this ad until I read about it online. In my opinion its not a surprise why we have problems with our education system when the people who are supposed to be helping "reform" it can't seem to even have an educated and civil conversation about sex education. Instead of listening to what one person had to say about the issue, it seems like all they care about is twisting words. I believe that age appropriate sex education would be smart. Maybe if our children where slowly brought into an educated way of thinking about themselves and the possible dangers that surround them, less crimes could happen. I guess now that I look at it, this article would be better fitted for someone who was writing about politics but with all of the controversy and discussion surrounding education, sex education is something that needs to be talked about.
