| Date | 17:26:28, December 15, 2009 CET | From | Alliance Républicaine Démocratique | To | Debating the Sexual Education Programme |
| Message | Indeed, it is compulsory for the schools. Nevertheless, we want to eliminate the option of opting out as an individual given the problem of teen pregnancy, ignorance concerning SDTs, etc. |

| Message | We feel that while your argument is certainly founded, but we feel that this infringes on the rights of parents to explain sex to their own children in their own way. The King's government cannot and should not be everywhere; besides, is teen pregnancy and STDs really caused by parents who do not wish to have the schools explain sex to them? We feel that most parents who opt out do so for religious reasons and therefore their children are the least likely to be the problem. |
