    Considering how faith based sex education was in my school, I can only foresee how the "small government" conservatives are gonna further fuck up education even more by forcing school districts to partner with religious organizations.

    Kasich says that these organizations are good for youth, but that's not him to decide.

    I would love to see the people that support a measure like this react to a district partnering with a Muslim organization, chances are they'd be completely pissed off.

    I can already see the issues that're gonna arise.

    Well it would be fine if there is still a choice, I think the main 5 religions should be taught in public schools as a choice.

    How is this not a blatant violation of separation of church and state?

    I must agree, BryanM.

    And, TransGirl, when I was in Elementary school, (6th grade to be specific), basically all year we had lessons on religion. This was in a public school. These lessons weren't structured in a way to convince us to believe a certain way, more so we would have an understanding of the belief systems of the world's major religions.
