Sex education classes that focus on encouraging teenagers to remain virgins until marriage are verboten under the federal budget signed by Obama. Critics of the classes say there is clear evidence they don't work.
Well, excuse me, but if teenagers are not going to abstain because they had a class encouraging it, what makes these people think they're going to use a condom because some teacher said to? If a teenager can't control those hormones enough to not have sex, he probably can't control them enough to stop and apply the proper protection, either.
And excuse me again, but if teenagers don't have sex, there's a 100% chance they won't get pregnant. Abstinence works every time. Condoms don't. And the major point is that the risk of pregnancy and STD's aren't the big reasons kids shouldn't have sex -- the big reason is that it's morally wrong and they're not emotionally equipped to handle it. Unfortunately, we're much too enlightened and PC to teach that!
