Drivers ed classes teach mechanics, no driving skills.

Wisconsin law mandates teaching abstinence in sex ed

Or so the headline would read if it were drivers ed and not sex ed. All I say is the state of wisconsin disgusts me. Who the hell lets things like this get by? We're progressing backwards into a state of fear and stupidity. There is so many things wrong with the idea of abstinence education I don't know where to start. Firstly there is the issues of inevitability; children grow up. They get older and they have sex before they get married. Not that it matters its before marriage because people get married and divorced and married again all the damn time in this country. Anyways back to the point; abstinence education sends people into the world with no idea of what do to to keep themselves safe other than dont have sex. I can not accept that anyone in this country would both believe that people would decide not to have sex until they were 'married for life' and be considered of sound mind. Said more briefly, they would have to be suffering a mental defect to think people wont have sex until marriage. Abstinence is only the "safest way to avoid STDs and pregnancy" if you assume people wont have sex, and as studies show those 'pledges,' where people sign a paper pledging not to have sex till marriage, which are part of many abstinence education, more than 50% are broken within 2 years.

Personally I remember my sex ed classes, you know what I got out of it? The girl gets knocked up every time. period. Thanks a lot, great use that is to me that was.
