    What remains is a discussion of the benefits of abstinence and a cursory review of various sexually transmitted diseases.

    Oh hey, that’s the sex ed we got in my school. Along with at least 4 pregnant girls I knew of under 17 in a very small rural school. The youngest was 13.

    If the people “teaching” us ever connected those facts, it wasn’t apparent to me.

      They want more teen pregnancies. Teen pregnancies tend to keep the mother poor, and subsequently the child. That keeps them desperate and more likely to be desperate enough to take shitty, low paying jobs, or potentially even doing slave labor in a for profit prison.

      It also puts strain on the rest of the family.
