"Teaching that as the only method to avoid teen pregnancy and STD's is stupid, though. Especially when part of the curriculum is to falsely tear down other methods as ineffective." It has been tried and shown to be largely effective throughout the ages. In the heat of the moment, teens use bad judgement and that is when any method fails. That has also been known for ages. Abstinence is a community responsibility not just the responsibility of two young people found alone in a car with nothing to do, which should never happen in a community that truly supports abstinence. Parents and the adult community who do not understand that set kids up for failure. Also true and more so with the methods you are promoting, they don't work largely because after teens enter the loose world of lasciviousness, they slip into attitudes which are less and less responsible, and they are encouraged by the liberal establishment to engage in risky behavior. The false impression that sex is going to be a safe activity for them promotes that slippage.
