abstinence only education works?

[Ozoned]

No way. Abstinence is what religious people preach and by definition that's wrong. Give kids condoms, tell them experimentation is ok, tell them that 1/4 of all boys and 1/6 of all girls (I remember this stat well) have a homosexual experience, open the gates, and let them have at it.

It's terrible that we live in a society where it neccessary to contemplate the best way to educate other peoples children.

I know you're being sarcastic, but I think that's what we should (continue to) do. I wouldn't say kids not having sex is a good performance metric. Instead why don't we look at teen pregnancy rates? It's not bad for teenagers to have sex. Some of the results can be bad, and that's what we should be trying to mitigate.
