Teaching that nothing needs to be taught

In Tipton County, Tennessee, sex education has been outsourced to a pro-life, privately-funded Christian counseling center. The name of the new abstinence-only program is “Why kNOw,” which pretty much sums up its intentions to not teach anything about sex but how great it is not to have it. Forget that the vast majority of these kids will have sex at some point in their lives; they don’t need to be taught trivial information like how to protect themselves from STDs or unwanted pregnancy - everyone knows that nothing bad like that ever comes from sex when you’re married, and the 95% of Americans who’ve had premarital sex are just dirty whores who deserve what they get.

    I’m just DYING to be yelled at by some fundamentalist that we’re teaching kids in school to have sex. Then I would like to say:

    “No sir. We’re not teaching them to have sex. We’re teaching them to have SAFE sex!” :)
