WAIT Abstinence Program
I had to start an abstinence only program yesterday, and that drives me nuts. The program talks nothing of contraceptives, and speak about contraceptives like they never work. I don't quite understand how they can legally say this.
My question to all of you here at Atheist Nexus is how do you feel about this? How do you feel about kids being taught to be "abstinent only"?
Update, 04/01/2010: I talked to my principal about it, and he was under the impression we were learing about protection and contraception from our personal fitness classes, which we were not. He has since spoken to the personal fitness teacher, and they will put safe sex into personal fitness, probably starting next year.

Because full-frontal hugs lead to accidental copulation?

Yes! Haven't you heard? You can even get pregnant in a hot tub! I saw so on TV.

N.B.: There ARE people in these abstinence-only programs who are emphatically NOT happy with their content (or lack thereof!), and in the case of this op-ed piece by Connie Schultz of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, they spoke out with candor about that lack. In this case, at least, they WERE heard!
