| Message | NO! We don't want to be our children to be ignorant OR bloodied. |

| Message | But this bill would actually give you control over what your child is taught at school, and how school discipline is maintained. |

| Message | Children deserve human rights too. And sex is part of being a human. |

| Message | While I agree that the parents of the children be given some options, these things are non-negotiable. |

| Message | TV, what rights are children denied with this Bill? And LSA how are these non-negotiable, why should you have a say in what children learn, yet not the parents of the said children? |

| Message | Umm...let's see, PL. How about the right to not get the shit beaten out of you for speaking out of turn, or being late to class? Or maybe the right to knowledge about the human body?! What you're advocating is criminal inflicted pain on children, and criminal withholding of vital knowledge of an aspect of their humanity. |

| Message | Again you are wrong on both counts. Assault is not legalized in this bill, therefore why would children be assualted? Lets face it, parents have the interests of their hildren at heart, they should be free to allow them to have an education that they think is best for them, not an education that an anarchist says is best for them. Punishment is not against human rights, so childrens rights are not broken there. The teaching of sex education is not a human right either, each child should be allowed to learn when they are ready to learn, not when an anarchist tells them they are ready to learn. |
