Guess what? We have a study that shows that abstinence based sex education works better than handing out condoms. The study showed that only one-third of 6th and 7th graders in abstinence based education had sex in the following two years compared to half of the students who learned how to use condoms and other contraceptives.
"I think we've written off abstinence-only education without looking closely at the nature of the evidence," said John B. Jemmott III, who headed the study. Of course it's been written off -- it's not politically correct to teach morals in this country.
