Apparently Wisconsin just passed some legislation concerning sex ed that places an emphasis on abstinence and marriage. Now, I don't know a thing about the legislation beyond that but naturally, the usual suspects are in a bit of a huff over it. I just don't get it. If the goal is the reduction of teen pregnancy then emphasizing the desirability of remaining a virgin until married is actually the best way to go about it. Sure not all of them will listen and many will only listen for a while, but what on earth makes anyone think that the kids will listen any more to talk about condoms and pills? Besides, those things don't always work. The only sure way to not get pregnant is to not have sex. And the best way to not be a single parent is to wait until you are married to have sex. This shouldn't be that hard.
Of course, it isn't really about teen pregnancy anyway, it's about expanding the sexual revolution until not only is "consequence free" promiscuity accepted and widespread (as it is today) but actively promoted and encouraged at an early age (a goal many are already pushing).
