Carol Platt Liebau: School "Activity"

School "Activity"

"Our parents are the ones who had the sexual revolution, so why are they surprised?"

That's the jaded response of one student to this story -- that eight students were suspended for having sex in a Manassas high school auditorium.

The Washington Post goes to great lengths to point out that the school teaches abstinence. But the fact is that abstinence isn't going to be a cure-all in an age where any talk of morality -- what's moral and immoral -- is essentially verboten in this day and age, because it may implicitly contain a (gasp!) religious element.

Note also in the story that one of the girls thereafter tried to claim that she had been "coerced" into the activity. If her claim is true, how sad. If it's not, imagine how often such false claims may be made to try to get out of behavior that's not only inappropriate, but also wrong.

Who thought there would come a day when schools would have to have an explicit policy prohibiting sex on school grounds? We've come a long way, baby -- and when you read stories like this one, where we've gotten doesn't look so good.

The Left said that it is right to do what you want, so now it is right to do anything, no limits, the family is being destroyed, to be replaced with anarchy. What next? A return to limits? Let the past begin, the present change, the future will again have a normal life of the past. There must be limits to actions, tell the Left they are wrong.
