Sex Education: Jacqueline Kasun writes in her The War against Population: "It would not take a week, much less a semester, to teach basic biological facts of life. What takes so much time [and spread over some 8-10 years, no less] is slowly but steadily undermining the values their parents have taught them and replacing those values with new attitudes that [brand as harmless] adultery, abortion, homosexuality, and the rest of the secular religion that parades as 'sex education.'"

Family Electronic Policies: Not only no cable TV, no video games; no more than one TV set in the house with rationed time; no computer with Internet access except in "family areas."

Stimulated Mind: Best Chastity Kit: Testifies a Boston public school teacher against setting up school-based adolescent health clinics: "People claim that teenage pregnancy is a cause of school dropout. I'm here to tell you these are the kids who have dropped out in their minds long before they ever left school and long before they ever became pregnant. They are the kinds who have been truants. They are the kids who have been cutting classes. They are the kids who feel as if they have no future anyway. In fact, it's not the pregnancy that makes the dropout; it's really the dropping out that makes the pregnancy."

Corrosive Porn: Writes a convict who was later executed for sexually abusing and murdering five boys: "If pornography had not been available to me in my early stages, it is most probably that my sexual activities would not have reached the depth they did. Porn wasn't the only negative influence in my life, but its effect on me was devastating. I lost all sense of decency and respect for humanity and life, and I would do anything or take any risk to fulfill my deviant desires."

Rx for drugs Writes a New Jersey mom: "To date six of my children have left the nest. As far as I know, none of them even dabbled in drugs along the way. In part I attribute it to a policy their parents conveyed to them on their 12th birthday. Very simply: '1) We love you. 2) But if you ever do drugs, we'll turn you in ourselves. 3) Do you understand? 4) Rest assured, though, we'll visit you in jail.'"

Virgins 'til Marriage: Says child and family psychiatrist Dr. James Egan in Dennis Helming's The Examined Life: "Parents must be very direct, absolutely clear and unapologetic to their children about remaining virgins to the day they marry. This is of enormous help to young people, who often need just such reinforcement to do what they suspect may be the right thing. One research finding that usually grabs their attention: there is a direct correlation between the frequency of divorce and the number of premarital partners. Expect to find one divorce for every two or three bedmates."

Unchaste before, unchaste after: Dr. Egan again: "Another argument for parents: no chastity before marriage, no chastity (or fidelity) afterwards. How on earth can tying the knot at thirty years of age transform 15-year unbridled sexual veterans into model husbands and wives? That's about as likely as thinking that one can jump from a 20-story building without getting a scratch."
