BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
From the Huffington Post (emphasis mine)...
An outbreak of chlamydia at a high school in Texas has forced administrators there to send a warning note home to parents.
District officials confirmed to CBS7 last Friday that the Crane Independent School District has seen 20 cases of the sexually transmitted disease in its high school, adding that letters have also been sent to the district's junior high school as a precaution.
The station estimates 1 in 15 students at the school has contracted chlamydia.
The high school offers a three-day sexual education course once a year that emphasizes abstinence.
This is the kind of backwards thinking that the so-called "family values" conservatives like to push. That by somehow "outlawing" any kind of sexual contact outside of marriage will stop people from doing it (which also explains why they're so dead set against same-sex marriage). They teach "abstinence only" sex-ed, keep kids from being able to purchase contraceptives, and then wonder why their kids are winding up with STDs, or pregnant. It's pretty much a known statistic that the areas that have the highest rates of teen pregnancy and STDs are those that labor under the laughable impression that you can somehow keep teenagers from having sex by telling them that its "really really icky". Unfortunately, it would seem that some folks will just never learn.
In a conversation with the San Antonio Express-News on Monday, school superintendent Jim Rumage defended the abstinence-heavy course.
"That's not a bad thing," said Rumage, "because if kids are not having any sexual activity, they can't get this disease. That's not a bad program."
Yeah. Um...good luck with that.
