Recently the Texas Freedom Network hosted an event here in Austin with the Live Oak Universalist Church dealing with Faith & Sex Education. I had never been in a Universalist church before but I quickly new it was a cool, friendly environment with their large poster that said, "We Are a Welcoming Congregation."
We showed a documentary which contrasts American values about sex with their attitudes in other countries and highlights the ineffectiveness of our current programs and cost to the taxpayers.
Then the Pastor Chuck Freeman (left) spoke in support of us and Garrett (right) gave a short presentation about the state of our sex education here in the state.
It was great being able to reach out to the community and talk with some young people and parents about the issue. We even had some of the High Schoolers from this event come out to the State Capital with us to speak with our representatives about demanding comprehrensive sex ed.
