    Ok, I get it. Those who don't abstain have sex with everyone they meet.

    Wow, he made a good point! Some of the commentors miss that the notion "teaching facts is for school, moral instruction is for the home" is itself a moral instruction. It teaches that morality is a matter of personal taste and preference/opinion, and schools deal with "hard facts." There is no neutral moral ground here. Secondly, even adopting the teacher's stance, there are facts on abstinence to be taught. What are the rates of emotional and psychological problems amongst those who practice abstinence vs. those who practice "safe sex" (which is a euphemism)? I don't know, but I'm willing to bet there are studies out there along those lines. Aren't those numbers "facts"?

    Abstinence? What a novel idea! No baby, no STD.

    This is idiotic. The program taught safe sex, which would have prevents the spread of STDs almost as well as abstinence. The lesson had nothing to do with abstinence. The guy who wrote this is an idiot.

    From the same people who don't want kids taught they ain't come from no monkey now comes glorious fiction in the genre of 'I don't want your kids to know where babies come from.' Complete with snobby atheists who think teens not having sex is just AWFUL, Jesus talking in my head, and donuts! A must read for any proud owner of a purity ring, or any of those heathens too.

    There is merit to it.

    A bit dated I guess. My public schools were not permitted to teach ANYTHING but abstinence, even MENTIONING that other forms of birth control existed would cause an instructor their job. Which, by the way, if you actually want to investigate, this program reduced teen pregnancy and transmittal of STD's in the areas of the country where it was taught by a whopping 0%! Abstinence is best taught in the home, not a passing 30-minute lecture once in a school career. (Those 30-minute lectures on birth control and transmittal of diseases actually do get results, in case anyone is curious).
