Mr. Wise is archaic per Mary

Wise’s rants
By Mary 01/31/08
I find it super frustrating that Dr. William Wise continues to “rant” in the Helena IR about sex education when clearly the man hasn’t updated his own knowledge with current facts in what seems to be a long time.

He ends his rant with, “In Uganda, where abstinence ed before marriage and monogamy after marriage has been taught, it is the only sub-Saharan county to achieve a decrease in HIV/AIDs statistics.” WHAT? In Uganda they probably kill women who have sex before they are married and stone them to death for allegedly being unfaithful to their beloved husbands at the age of what, 16, 17? I find this comparison to be as archaic as Mr. Wise’s ideology.

Mr. Wise, I know you really believe that informing and educating our youth on fact based sex education is “encouraging” them to have sex at younger and younger ages, but that simply isn’t true. You are cherry picking a statistic here and a statistic there. If your theories were right and all we had to do is tell our youth to please abstain from sex until you are married don’t you think we would all happily do that? It simply doesn’t work like that, sir.
