Mr Wise Silly per Mary

William Wise, it is obvious to me and should be obvious to anyone reading your rant in Friday’s IR Your Turn, that there should be an emphasis on “retired” by your name. Where on earth are you getting your information. Please tell me exactly what school health teacher is telling their students to “bath together, use body massage, read and watching erotic material together?” Sir you are full of bologna. Parents should be teaching abstinence in their homes; too bad it isn’t happening in all homes. It is the job of health educators to provide all information to their students. It is a FACT that a majority of teenagers are engaging in sexual behaviors and are you suggesting that we should turn the other way while saying ... please save sex until marriage? That mentality and practice has led to higher STD rates and higher pregnancy rates, which in turn will inevitably lead to more abortions. I say parents should do their jobs at home and health teachers should provide our youth with the knowledge they NEED in the real world. And retired physicians should do a better job of gathering their facts before they write to their local newspaper.

Good Job Mary!
