Saw this on the colbert report, such bullcrap. As it said on the show, and I have heard many other places abstinence education does not work. One thing santorum supported very strongly

Well, if Bristol Palin's abstinence-only education had been supplemented by a heavy dose of education about anti-gateway activity (enforced by her parents, who were too busy being glamorous to prevent Bristol's gateway activities), then the abomination known as Tripp Johnston, who was a major embarrassment to the Palin family and a disgrace to Republicans everywhere (ultimately costing Grandma the election), would never have happened.

Levi Johnston apparently owes Bristol $38,000 in unpaid child support.

Bristol's reaction to news that her Beau is expecting another child?

Once again, America has gone backwards on stuff like this.

What "educational" consequences does sex have, unless you're cutting classes to get some?

This has got to be the stupidest thing I've heard of all day.......look out for increased rates of teen pregnancy, stds and all the horrible things that come with ignorance about sexual activity.

News Flash: Duggars move to Tennessee, finally enroll kids in public school.

Tennessee is THE most backwards state on education... Nothing would surprise me there.

So what's wrong with increased teen pregnancy?

Absinence is the best way to prepare for a future free love society.

That's nothing. In South Africa, there are teachers and educators who are trying to use anomalies in our statutory rape law to discourage teens from having sex and encourage them to abstain. Never mind that that section of the act is unconstitutional is being challenged by child advocacy groups, a body representing South African principles is opposing this challenge however.

Biologically, I think that women are at their peak reproductive potential by around the mid-teens. For our hunting-gathering ancestors, who typically did not live beyond their 40s, and who were not confronted with having to pursue a post-industrial-age career, starting child-bearing while in their teens would have been practical and adviseable.

Nowadays, it is fairly common for women to postpone childbirth until they are approaching menopause, which is impractical, and very frequently unsuccessful.

Since pregnancy results almost exclusively from heterosexual vaginal coitus, it might be prudent to instruct teens in avoiding heterosexual vaginal coitus all together, and to promote either homosexuality or safer heterosexual alternatives (e.g., anal coitus, fellatio, facials, etc.).

From watching internet pornography, many teens no doubt have acquired the idea that heterosexual vaginal coitus is fun and interesting, and that the placing of a penis into a vagina represents and intriguing idea. Educators should work to counteract this idea.

Just telling teenagers who are under the influence of raging hormones that they shouldn't fondle each other probably isn't going to result in the desired outcome.
