"Comprehensive" sex education advocates preach "more condoms." The Minnesota Family Institute preaches that a sexually active lifestyle should have no part of a young student's curriculum (March newsletter).

In Minnesota, mandatory "comprehensive" sex education would encourage seventh-through 12th-graders to develop their own sexual identity separate from their parents' influence.

Many parents find this unacceptable because comprehensive sex education (SF3349) represents homosexual behavior as "normal" and represents abortion as a favorable alternative to having a baby.

The Democratic Party leadership deceptively names SF3349 as "Responsible Famiy Life and Sexuality Education Programs." That's hogwash!

There's only one strategy that prevents both STD and HIV, and it's not part of SF3349. Call or e-mail your legislators now and tell them to vote "no" on comprehensive sex education (SF3349).
