The original story is here.
CANTON, Ohio -- An Ohio school board is expanding sex education following the revelation that 13 percent of one high school's female students were pregnant last year.
There were 490 female students at Timken High School in 2005, and 65 were pregnant, WEWS-TV in Cleveland reported.
The new Canton school board program promotes abstinence but also will teach students who decide to have sex how to do so responsibly, bringing the city school district's health curriculum in line with national standards
Not much more to say to this, except "Wow."
I wonder if those kids can sue the school district for gross negligence. They've really been let down. Of course, the utter failure of their "abstinence only" program won't stop the Holy Terrors from screaming even more loudly that teaching kids about sex is like giving them a license to fuck.
Their "ignorance only" program certainly didn't stop kids from experimenting, did it?
