Vatican Blasts Sex Education Program In New York

I agree with the Vatican (which is very rare) on the fact that parenting is essential in dealing with sexual education BUT facts are facts and young children are having sex and contractin­g diseases and becoming pregnant at alarming rates. To not promote protective methods is ignorant and defies the facts that stand.

Obama's "diplomati­c" approach to the party of no that essentiall­y hates everything he says or does is becoming irritating to say the least.
