There is no question that financial gain can incentivize behavior. At 5, some kids may get a small allowance upon properly brushing their teeth. At 12, they may get a token amount upon taking out the garbage. In North Carolina,...

The conservative Democratic blog in New York responds to yesterday's protests by hundreds of black leftists in front of the White House to protest President Obama's policies. The protesters argued that the president is "white power in blackface", said he was turning a cold shoulder to the plight of blacks, and demanded that the U.S. change policy in various countries : "Wow! Who knew?...

Sex and school don’t mix - Times Online This article starts off with a paragraph which indicates a certain lack of seriousness, but it does eventually make some good points. The thing is, Britain's response to a very high teenage pregnancy rate is to make sex education completely compulsory from age 15. Currently, parents can "opt out' their kids. Yet, I wonder, just how many parents take...

Madonna once expressed an interest in producing the critically-acclaimed new movie Precious, author Sapphire has revealed. Sapphire claims the Queen of Pop was eager to be associated with the film adapted from 1996 novel Push, the story of an illiterate, obese girl battling abuse and teen pregnancy in 1987 Harlem. Madonna was among the first people [...]

The Stupak amendment says that abortions won't be paid for with federal funds. The amendment makes exceptions for cases of rape and when it presents a danger to the mother's health. But Rachel Maddow and others are up in arms over the amendment. I'm not sure why. I thought that it was a forgone conclusion that the healthcare bill wouldn't allow for taxpayer-funded abortions. The House bill wouldn't...

A terrific post by The Heresiarch on continuing calls to lower the voting age to 16 ( via DK ): ... in other ways, at sixteen many youngsters are much less "adult" than they were even a generation ago. That's certainly the message that is coming from the government. New restrictions on the freedom and capacity of teenagers have been brought in continually under New Labour. The age at which...

I can't find a link for this (please put one in the comments), but I heard on the radio a couple of days ago that Gordon Brown had re-affirmed his belief that people should be allowed to vote at 16. This is presumably because Gordon believes that teenagers, being generally ignorant, would be more likely to vote for a socialist party. Or perhaps Gordon genuinely thinks that a sixteen year old is, in...

Task Force Finds That Abstinence-Only Programs Don't Reduce Teen Pregnancy By Daniel J. DeNoon WebMD Health News Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD Nov. 6, 2009 -- There's no evidence that abstinence-only sexual education programs cut teens' risk of sexually transmitted disease, HIV, or pregnancy, a task force of public health experts finds. But the panel finds that sex ed that includes information about...

When I was nineteen, I took care of three little boys for a week. I was "not the mama" to a six year old, a four year old, and an almost two year old while their parents were in Cancun. I learned a lot in that week. The most important was that I would NEVER do anything to become an unwed mother. (I still think caring for someone's children would significantly reduce teen pregnancy rates.)...

Earlier this week, Ed Balls, the Education Secretary (that isn't what he calls himself but it is essentially what he is) announced that 15 year olds will have to have mandatory sex education. Cue howls of anguish from the likes of the Catholic Church and various Muslim groups who promised to fight the proposals. Now I am no fan of Mr Balls, as a very cursory inspection of this site will quickly reveal....

The reliable way to teach kids about the birds and the bees? Comprehensive sex education. That's the conclusion of an independent panel that reviewed the glut of research out there on sex education and abstinence-only programs in a study released Friday. It found solid proof of its effectiveness in "reducing a number of self-reported [sexual] risk behaviors." No surprise there, right? After...

Around two-thirds of Bristol parents believe their teenagers have no desire to discuss sex, a survey has revealed. The Bristol Teenage Pregnancy Partnership (BTTP) says their research reveals a huge gap between the amount of information adolescents want about sex and the amount they actually receive, with teenagers increasingly turning to the internet, friends and the [...]

Decisions on sex education and crucifixes in classrooms are highly illiberal intrusions into our lives and those of our children When is a right not a right? When it concerns the education of children. The respective (and entirely contradictory) decisions of the children's secretary Ed Balls and the European Court of Human Rights this week would be laughable if they weren't both so serious.
