I teach Health and we are required to teach Sex Ed. While we are encouraged to stress abstinence as the only absolute guarantee against STI's and pregnancy, we are also required to give accurate information on all methods of birth control. These kids have been running around thinking you can't get pregnant the first time you have sex, or if the girl's on top, or (get this) you put an olive in your vagina(!), or if you're standing up. The list goes on and on. This is what we have reaped after way too many years of "Don't!" being the only thing we were allowed to teach. Ignorance never has solved anything, but the wing-nuts keep thinking it will. It's truly sad.
