Just to point out.. The Church ain’t the only thing paying for this abstinence bullshit. The government’s making US the citizen pay millions in tax money to feed kids this bullshit!! I’m glad it doesn’t work, but it doesn’t work and that’s money down the crapper, nice!!

Aw, well. Nice work here BTW, and keep it goin’!!!

[...] This prompted me to think about the book I’m currently reading entitled “Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism” By Michelle Goldberg. The chapter on Abstinence only programs disturbed me. Michelle interviewed two people who head abstinence only programs. Pam Stenzel who was quoted at a particularly interesting debate as calling sex “A dirty, rotten, filthy, stinking sin!” (pg 135 of Kingdom Coming) Essentially, this lady scares teens into forced celibacy. Excellent! Tell a young impressionable teenager that, not only is sex bad, filthy, dirty and an evil sin and you’ll go to hell for engaging in it. Hello 17 century Puritan community! Someone needs to tell this lady that abstinence has proven time and again to fail. [...]

The same people who call for “abstinence-only” in education also routinely attack any attempt to increase funding for the general education system because that’s just “throwing money at the problem.”

Actually it’s because the money isn’t being thrown at them… But sometimes I state the obvious…

Impeach? Shit, put them in a museum!!! Little plaque below cage: “The Bush administration. Wasters of massive amounts of money and huge numbers of lives. DANGER: Do not approach the cage and keep your unborn fetuses away from the railling as they will be taxed and forced into government servitude and forced to work for literal peanuts cleaning some pasty white ‘Bush base’ ultra-rich, homophobic racist asshole’s house.”

I suspect in a few years, abstinence-only proponents will be saying that we need to add mandatory chastity belts to the curriculum to work.

I think they should do a study to see whether it’s true that the more sexual partners you have, the more likely you are to use birth control responsibly (i.e., practice makes perfect) and if, as I suspect, there is a positive correlation, we should lobby for promiscuity-only sex education.

So the kids get the abstinence only message all throughout middle & high school, the average age for first fuck is 15 (holy crap, was I behind that curve) and the problem is that they don’t market abstinence past high school? Kids must grow up so fast these days, back when I was a youngster you didn’t graduate until you were almost 18.

Somebody hasn’t heard the old phrase, “The definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
