"DALLAS (Reuters) -- The lesson for Texas teens is that the only safe sex is no sex, and that may be a lesson that heads nationwide.
Texas educators are debating what will be taught in new sexual education textbooks for its high school students. The 15-member Texas Board of Education is considering and will likely approve four books, all of which extol the virtues of abstinence. Three make no mention of contraceptives at all while one makes passing reference to condoms."

"Book tells teens rest prevents STDs
They say the books are lacking. For example, one textbook under review advises that a good way a teen-ager can prevent a sexually transmitted disease is to get plenty of rest so he or she can have a clear head about sex and choose abstinence."
:wow:

"According to Centers for Disease Control figures, Texas has been among the top five states in the country for teenage pregnancies for several years.
When he was governor of Texas, George W. Bush pushed for an abstinence-based sexual education curriculum."

Hey repukes! Has it ever occurred to you that when you teach your kids about sex if you also taught them how
not to get knocked up it might have an impact on those abortions you bitch about?
Get yourselves plenty of rest so you're all clearheaded and what-not and try to wrap your thick skulls around
that thought, 'kay?
