Safe Sex is Failing?

Sex Education without guesswork

The article is reaching out to the staff of the schools and parents all over Texas. This is because the sex education in school is failing to go through the kids head. The author points out that only teaching abstinence is ineffective due to lack of showing the "big picture." To back up that argument, as well as the rest of them, she uses statistics. She also uses the Texas Department of State Health service to state that they believe in the same ideal as she does which pits them against the Board of Education. Although, when the author mentions that health instructors being fired for going beyond abstinence only teaching was really unclear. The author didn't leave a reason why the instructor would get fired for it. I would figure knowing more would be better. After all, knowledge is power. I agree with the author in teaching the danger of unprotected sex because it will let them know what they are getting into. It's like telling a kid they shouldn't do something without telling them a reason. They'll get curious and do it anyways. I would also suggest teaching the struggle after unprotected sex, so they would receive the whole aspect of the consequences.

You are what you eat.

Last year there was a salmonella crisis that the tomatoes invoked. Now for the past few weeks, another crisis that the peanuts have brought to us has sent out more worries. Due to the events, the Department of State Health Service asked the House to increase the food inspector force. As a worker in the food business that emphasize on services, this would help the general public not be skeptical about their entrees. The customer's satisfactory is important to me so I would like to serve the food with perfection. The increase in salary would also help the inspector's work more worthwhile because inspecting a nasty factory is not my ideal job. It's horrible that the plant does not keep their facility sanitize to prevent dead animals in their productions. The Plainview peanut plan also operated without a state license and also was never inspected at all. Is it me or is American getting lazy?
