[&#8230;] Forcing our schools to instruct children on how to utilize contraceptives encourages our children to engage in sexual behavior, whether as a victim or an offender,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;It is akin to teaching children about alcohol use, then instructing them on how to make mixed alcoholic drinks.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Way to go there, Cletus&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I officially give up trying to understand american mentality.
