| Message | Concerning article one, it should not be up to the schools of when they should educate students of things like this. I think that the government or the parents of the kids have the right to decide when their kids learn such things. Concerning article two, I think that it is a very good idea because some kids just do anything that they want and they make the teachers mad, they don't follow rules, and they think that none of it is going to matter and they will continue if they are just yelled at. We support this. |

| Message | We believe that this is better decided by the schools since they themselves are run by a school board, which in turn is run by parents and voters through elections. That way decisions are kept local and closer to the problem(s) instead of being run by some bureaucrat at the federal level. |
