It turns out....Teens like to have sex.

It turns out....People lie about things.

You and I might not think that is news, but to the born-again wack jobs in our government and elsewhere this was probably a real shocker.

Everyone knew this whole "abstinence only" sex ed thing was / is such a total farce.

But that didn't prevent the Bush administration from embracing it wholesale, despite ample warnings from "elistist" scientists who had actually studied human behavior. What could those educated people actually know about education? Yet another example of his stunning incompetence (as if we need any) , he preferred to listen to the religious leaders and dedicate increasingly rare education resources on this useless program.
At best abstinence only sex ed is useless, at worst it is misleading and dangerous.

Educators are tasked with teaching our youth. What is the point of teaching children things that are untrue?

But that is how religious people often feel about the truth.
They treat it like a threat.
