Pilot project

Resident concerned about initiative at local schools

I recently stumbled upon an article regarding the pilot project making condoms more accessible within schools. Besides an immense sadness for how our country has fallen morally, as a mother, I am personally appalled.

In Christine Balfour’s words “…one of the goals (for the project) is to increase the comfort level for kids…”

Since when did comfort become the goal, instead of promoting purity and abstinence only?

What about focusing on the huge responsibility and privilege it is to raise a child?

It is horrifying how the public school system has taken control of raising our children. Parents have little say anymore.

I say with great satire, the next step for sure will be a drug snack shack in the school cafeteria.

I mean, if they are already experimenting with drugs, why not supply them in an environment where they feel “comfortable?” Right?

You readers may mock, but the Bible is so relevant. Thousands of years ago, an author penned that society would become, “without self-control, not lovers of the good; lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.”

This is where we find ourselves today. When we exchange the truth of God’s word for our own pleasure and “comfort,” the demise of a society is certain.

Look around. We are not becoming better people, we are becoming more depraved. It’s time to wake-up and to turn to God, whose wisdom teaches the beauty and blessing of abstaining until marriage.
