Texas Teens Increased Sex After Abstinence Program

Yahoo! News - Texas Teens Increased Sex After Abstinence Program
Abstinence-only sex education programs, a major plank in President Bush (news - web sites)'s education plan, have had no impact on teenagers' behavior in his home state of Texas, according to a new study.
Despite taking courses emphasizing abstinence-only themes, teenagers in 29 high schools became increasingly sexually active, mirroring the overall state trends, according to the study conducted by researchers at Texas A&M University.

Wow, rocket science going on here. Apparently, telling kids not to do stuff because it is bad for them doesn't work. Man, who would have seen that one coming? For more in depth coverage consult Southpark Episode 507. Fortunately for idiots and the religious right season 5 of Southpark is now available for sale.
