This is an issue from back in April but I just heard about it today. http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_5904322 http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/13377661/detail.html http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0,1299,DRMN_15_5539466,00.html
To summarize, the school hosted a panel by the Conference on World Affairs where students were told, "I am going to encourage you to have sex and encourage you to use drugs appropriately," by a clinical psychologist. The topic of the conference was titled "STDs: Sex, Teens and Drugs." There was no talk of abstinence in the 90-minute presentation, with panelists assuming students were already using drugs and having sex. "Now, what is healthy sexual behavior? Well, I don't care if it's with men and men, women and women, men and women -- whatever combination you would like to put together," Becker said. Many students were required to attend because their teachers cancelled class and attended the panel. Conference on World Affairs director Jim Palmer said Boulder High students and a representative from the school choose the topics each year and help choose the panelists. He said none of the panelists told the students they should or shouldn't use drugs or have sex. Rather, he said, the panelists told students to make decisions that are appropriate for them and to know the consequences. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales & marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.
