Some will be offended, while others will not.

In a story yesterday prefacing tomorrow's hearing on Helena's new health enhancement curriculum:
Some say comprehensive sex education helps to lower teen pregnancy rates and decrease sexually transmitted diseases, while others say it doesn't.
And, later:
Administrators are expecting many community members to address the board on the draft document at the meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Front Street Learning Center, where public testimony will be taken for the first time on the draft curriculum. Some will voice support of the school's proposed methodology, while others will share their concerns.
Some reporters will use this sentence construct regularly, while others will not. Some readers will find it illuminating, while others won't. Some like it hot, while others prefer it cold or even lukewarm.

In the writer's defense, there are a good several paragraphs with a public health nurse for the county explaining the social science basis for educating children about sex. But the equivocation is mind-boggling.

Meeting details -- where you can speak up -- are available here.

You could be right, or not. (0.00 / 0)
It doesn't matter what the truth might be, or what the vast majority of people agree is the basis of truth.   Your opinion, viewpoint, or supposition is all that matters.   We're all winners, right?

Away with science.  Away with authority.    Away with those who might know more than you do.  Who are they to tell you that your knowledge is flimsy, your experience less, and your understanding thin.    You're a wonderful human being and are entitled to your opinion.    Even if it is wrong.
