Let Common Sense Prevail in Schools

Since when is teaching our children self-control, responsibility and abstinence a radical religious-right agenda? I thought this was merely common sense.

Since when in a democracy are public officials responsible to uphold the viewpoints of the minority who did not elect them into office or otherwise face a recall? In the America I know, Ventura County Board of Education President Wendy Larner and trustees Angela Miller and Marty Bates are to represent the will of the majority who elected them into office. More power to them.
