Agreed. The fact that all these tools take such pledges slays me.

The sad part is how many of the states' school's systems still teach abstinence as a form of safe sex instead of actually teaching safe sex.



Why not both?

Condoms are good most of the time, but in order to have 100% foolproof safety one would have to not have sex at all.

Redundant forms of birth control add more 9s to the end of 99.9, but there's still that possibility that one would get pregnant.

And then there's the whole STI(STD) issue. The only way to make sure that you don't get them is to not have sex, but that's not exactly fun, right?

Proper birth control _should_ be taught in _all_ schools, not just public schools but also private schools.

Don't be a fool, wrap your tool.
