| Message | At first glance I would agree with you... however sex is not a community issue because these types of actions of the community cannot be contained within the community. Imagine if the teaching of Saridani History was completely left up to communal biases and devoid of standardized facts. Perhaps communities choose not to teach Saridani History at all because of their bias... what is to become of the children who were victims of communal biases once they leave their collective communities and set out to start a life for themselves? Now realize the significance of one's knowledge of something as trivial as Saridani History is miniscule compared to one's knowledge of their own bodies, the physiology of sexual development, and the natural world that is human sexuality. This is something everyone in every community will go through in their lives naturally regardless of any communal affiliations. Nature cannot be governed. An arguement could be made that religious based communities should be able to set this agenda for morality purposes. However, we must then remember that this is a country with a national religion but is completely open to other forms of worship so by giving local control to ,for example, a christian school wishing to teach abstanence you are also providing the same rights to a polygamist or polandramist communities to decide to teach women towards communal sex. |

| Message | However the NRPP should remember this: Sex education is education about the genitals of the male and female, and about contraceptive methods, not about sexual roles and how marriage should be set up. |
