On the recordApril 4, 1995
AIDS education is a perfect example, the results of the survey on sexual behavior end up becoming the basis to teach schoolchildren about homosexual sex; surveys revealing not enough knowledge about sex encourage the sexperts to develop new programs, and surveys revealing that children know a lot about sex encourage the same sexperts to develop more programs to handle the flow of information and traditional families lose either way. Point No. 4: The House has had to squelch controversial sex studies of both adults and youths at least 3 times over the past 5 years. If we pass this bill as it stands, we will encourage the attitude that these controversial subjects are going to be addressed year after year. Let us vote right now to end this problem. The majority will decide this. Let us see where the 104th Congress stands on this first clean-cut social-issues debate of 1995.
