Funding for abstinence education likely to drop

Gooood, sez I. Maybe now the number of teenage pregnancies and STDs will go down as well.

Bleah. Hopefully. When my human sexuality class had presenters from both Abstinence Only and the Safe Sex people, both groups seemed more interested in trashing each other than in actually doing shit for kids.

It happens, sad to say. Though I'm not sure how your teacher expected anything else, if the two groups were invited to attend at the same time. (Were they?)

No, they came two different days. And they still BOTH spent the entire time saying how TERRIBLE AND EVIL the other side was. It was like the entire point of their campaigns is "Abstinence is awful!" or "Condoms are awful!" instead of like... teaching kids sex ed.

It frustrates me. :(

That's impressive. In its own incompentent way.
