Rush Limbaugh on Sex Education

             Sex education courses in public schools are a tense topic among parents, and educators. Some groups believe that the sex education curriculum that focus on abstinence, and safe sex disrupts the school unit of educating its students, and argues that sex education should be sanctioned only between child, and parent. In the essay Condoms: The New Diploma, a admirably known conservative talk radio host by the name Rush Limbaugh conveys his frustration of public schools involvement in sex education courses, and the distribution of condoms. A master in creating controversy he sarcastically try to persuade his readers to believe that condoms distribution encourage promiscuous, and sexual active teens. However, in his attempt of persuasion, he fails to deliver a solid argument because of his unorthodox perspective.
             Without delay Limbaugh, engages his readers. From beginning to end, Limbaugh is brilliant at keeping his readers attention by the use of his comic tone. Skillful in his writing, he freely attempts to refute his opponent's logic behind condoms distribution in public schools. He states that the logic behind the motivation is ridiculous, and is misguided since the intuition fail to teach and promote abstinence first.
             At first Limbaugh's message seems to be positive and logical in that the institution is misguided, and that the distribution of condoms conveys a detrimental message to teens. But as continued, Limbaugh argument becomes absurd, and inoperative. In his attempt to sway his readers, he attacks his opponents by the use of tacky exaggeration of scenarios. For example, in paragraph two, in the response of the opponents argument, that kids going to do it anyway, so let's give the condoms for protection, Limbaugh uses the method of Reductio ad absurdum to refute is opponents position, and states by that logic "lets convert study halls to Safe Sex Centers where students can go to actually have sex.......
