God Bless Sex Ed & God Bless Duncan Black
This would have been shocking news back in the days befor Bush (and Mike Castle) fucked every little thing up.
Nobody Could Have Predicted…
- ORLANDO, Fla. — A recent survey that found some Florida teens believe drinking a cap of bleach will prevent HIV and a shot of Mountain Dew will stop pregnancy has prompted lawmakers to push for an overhaul of sex education in the state.
The survey showed that Florida teens also believe that smoking marijuana will prevent a person from getting pregnant.
State lawmakers said the myths are spreading because of Florida’s abstinence-only sex education, Local 6 reported.

It’s just another example of the Superstitious Right’s anti-intellectualism battle.
Young, Dumb, and Full of…..
Florida is one of the most ‘backward’ states….maybe ’cause they’re so close to Miss., Ala., Lou., and Georgia or maybe it’s because like the ‘little diamond in the rough’ they have a legislature/governor (remember Jebby was gov.) that rarely does the right thing and more often is regressive and punitive in their approach to the electorate.
WHEN THE TIME COMES: GET OUT AND VOTE DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!
Whatever happened to the classics we were taught? Blindness and hairy palms? (though I do note that DE Politics supporters tend to be short-sighted and on the hairy side)
Atrios broke this story a few days ago when I was online there. Crazy, crazy, who could have predicted.
Whether it’s a war, the economy and even teaching our children about the birds & the bees, reality seems intent on revealing that all the important matters effecting a nation are beyond the competence and intelligence of the GOP to handle.
Dis – my hairy knuckles and decreasing eye sight are a private matter, thank you very much! 🙂
(see – a sense of humor! How about that?)
Dana – compelling argument, once again. How do you handle your strokes of self-admired genius?
Smitty,
The only time I get my ego frequently stroked is when you find my comments so threatening that you cannot resist attacking me personally.
You are my confirmation.
