California Sex Ed and Teen Birth Rate

[KZN02]

Some good news, hopefully this spreads the message of the importance of good sex ed.

No, this just proves that the homo agenda is turning all the kids in California into queers, which is driving down the birthrate! /fundie

Couldn't have said it better myself Eva.

Funny no one mentioned abortions yet.

You know what would be an awesome advertising campaign? Advertising to teens that if their sex ed is shit, go do some research themselves. Who knows, it might work.

And then you have an outrage because some people take that as an suggestion to look at pornography or something like that.

Not that porn would be the best source for sex ed. (Although there is educational porn as well.)

I was thinking more along the lines of actual websites for education (including Wikipedia, since it's not exactly a complex thing, so it's rather hard to fuck up). But, yes, there would be outrage, but guess what? Private business, bitches.

I know what you were thinking but I also know what kind of reaction the "abstinence only" crowd would have to any other type of sex education.

Oh, I know. But, they can't have private billboards taken down, or signs on private property, or people just handing out fliers.

This is one of those times where I just shrug and surrender to the fact people really are that stupid. In an ideal world things like this wouldn't be needed, because people would be entirely capable and willing to raise children on their own. Then something like this is done and works, because what should have done it doesn't work.

To anyone who doesn't want the state to raise their children, please bother to raise them yourselves then. If the state can do a provably better job it's not going to help your case.
