"For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness. Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit." 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8

Pray: Father, We pray that schools would obey You and teach children abstinance instead of the lies taught in 'sex education'. Society has been cursed and children are harmed by disobeying Your laws of sexual purity. We ask You to give parents control of their children and to remove government control of children, which is the bondage of communism. In Jesus' name.


Officials representing District of Columbia public schools have confirmed that they will have sexually-transmitted disease (STD) screening and treatment for students without parental consent.

The new initiative, which follows the completion of a pilot program in some D.C. schools, will include explicit sex education that discusses with students the contraction of STDs. City officials cite the District's high rate of HIV infections - the highest of all major U.S. cities - as an impetus for the new program.

Following the sex education, students will be sent to bathrooms where they receive a paper bag containing a cup for urine sample collection.  Students will be able to decide whether or not to give the sample. 

However, the plan is reportedly drawing concern among parents, who are not given a say in whether to include their child in the program.

D.C. Council member David A. Catania said that parents should be able to have the power to consent to or decline the screenings.

"Right now, if you play sports in a public school, you have to get permission from your parents. If you take a field trip, you have to get permission from your parents. Why would it be any less for this?" said Catania.  "Only if the parent gives the consent upfront would I do this."
