Sex education . .
Continued from Page 4
In "progressive" provinces, like Washington, D.C., for
example, there are now more illegitimate than legitimate
births, more abortions than live births. And Professor
Kasun continues: "In Sweden, for example, where sex
education has been mandatory since 1956, the illegiti
macy rate (the number of illegitimate births per thousand
families of childbearing age), which had been declining
subsequently rose for every age group, except the older
group which did not receive the special sex education.
Much of the sex education, demonstrates Ms. Kasun -with
examples a little too graphic for this newspaper
simply reinforces the propaganda of the Population Bomb
crowd, whose neo-Malthusian predictions have proved as
off-the-money as those of Parson Malthus himself. Since
World War II, for example, the growth in the food supply
has far outstripped population growth, and per capita
food consumption, worldwide, is at an all-time high.
Most important, many of the sex educators seek, pri
marily , to sever in the minds of school children - the
traditional linkage of sex and morality taught in home and
to the editor
church, and replace such teachings with the tenets of the
New Morality, urging students to make up their own
minds about sexual morality, pornography, abortion,
euthanasia, etc.
Concludes Professor Kasun: "In undertaking to finance
and promote a multimillion-dollar program of sex edu
cation, the government has entered very heavily into the
promotion of a particular world view and the establish
ment of a chosen ideology, a kind of secular religion. This
is a posture the public and the Congress would do well to
examine now."
Secretary Schweiker, it would appear, so intends - not
unreasonably. For if it is wrong to indoctrinate children
in public schools against their parents' desires, in the
biblical beliefs of the Rev. Bailey Smith, it is right to in
doctrinate children - against their parents' desires - in
the ideology of some progressive Planned Parenthood
chapter which treats sex with the same seriousness as
roller disco?

In regard to the article on the men's crew spring pre
paration, I would like to make a few points.
First, I would like to thank the Daily Nebraskan for its
coverage of the crew team. We do sincerely appreciate any
form of communication that enables the public to learn
more about this powerful but graceful sport.
Secondly, and the main intent of this letter, is to let
everyone know about the half of crew that the article
ignored - the women's team. Twice a week they're up
practicing before dawn, putting in just as much guts and
sweat as us men. Then on top of that, showing up every
afternoon to train for races along with us.
So, let's not forget about the half of the UNL crew
that's made it what it is today. My hat's off to you ladies!
