Check out the article and share your thoughts.

… that’s the longest block of text I’ve read today.
I should seriously read more.
IMHO, the Conservative Propaganda used by Evangelicals to lure teenagers into virginity pledges is a serious way of child abuse.
People should get comprehensive sex ed whether they’ll have sex or not.
Why did we learn about WWII then? To start another World War?
Nooooo.

Absolutely.
And now we’ve gotta see why… It’s because they’re socially way more liberal and there is no such a thing as “abstinence-only sex ed” in other developed countries. Thank Gay. For example, the word for abstinence in German is “Keuchheit”, which hasn’t really been used since a few centuries. *wonders why*
“Abstinence-only” sex ed is an oxymormon. [sic]
