The Bush Administration wants to turn your children into idiots
Posted by Jill | 7:12 AM

Here's the kind of utter horseshit your kids will learn in the "abstinence-only" programs being touted by the Bush Administration:


  • Half the gay male teenagers in the United States have tested positive for the AIDS virus

  • Touching a person's genitals "can result in pregnancy"

  • A 43-day-old fetus is a "thinking person."

  • HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, can be spread via sweat and tears.

  • Condoms fail to prevent HIV transmission as often as 31 percent of the time in heterosexual intercourse.

  • women who have an abortion "are more prone to suicide" and that as many as 10 percent of them become sterile

  • Chlamydia is linked to heart disease

  • Men need "admiration" and "sexual fulfillment" and women need "financial support", As a result, "Occasional suggestions and assistance may be alright, but too much of it will lessen a man's confidence or even turn him away from his princess."



There is ZERO accountability to the truth in these programs. There is ZERO evidence that ignorance promotes chastity. On the contrary, ignorance has NO effect on chastity, but it sure has an effect on unwanted pregnancy, and not the one the advocates of these programs want. 61% of graduating high school seniors have already had sex. This is reality, folks. Either they're going to have sex armed with information about how to handle it responsible and with maturity, or they're going to fumble around in ignorance and find themselves with an STD or unwanted pregnancy. Obviously, the latter is the "punishment" the wingnuts feel these kids deserve.
