Really great (not) story out of Orlando.

Florida's mandate of abstinence being the only approved topic in sex education has produced another generation of 'everything I needed to know about safe sex I learned on the street'.

Drinking a capful of bleach will prevent HIV. Drinking some Mountain Dew or smoking some marijuana will prevent pregnancy. Well at least with the latter you may not care for a while.

This mandate is not only stupid to the nth degree it is killing our young people. This is so much worse than the evolution argument as to be criminal.

If the good Church going folks don't want their children to learn about safe sex practices in a controlled school environment give them the chance to opt their children out of the clasess.

Ignorance may be bliss for these parents but in the mean time we have teenagers whose only sex education is the horizontal kind that results in another child trying to raise a child or worse yet another HIV case that could turn to AIDS.
