Something interesting came up in our FHE this week.

We feel like we're almost over-the-top in how often we teach Law of Chastity and update the kids on the sex talk but feel it's important.

The kids were complaining that FHE was going to be on Law of Chastity AGAIN. So I ask how many times they're taught against drugs at school. "ALL THE FREAKIN' TIME". So that made me think what the ratio of times I was tempted to break law of chastity as a youth compared to number of times I was tempted to take drugs (might be zero).

So my takeaway was 1. law of chastity should at least get equal time as say no to drugs and 2. schools are actually pretty effective at teaching morals--when they're allowed to do so.
