Sex Education

The Washington Post has a funny article about Texas schools buying textbooks for sex education that do not even mention contraceptives or condoms. Honestly, it is surprising if public schools ever get much of anything right, so this is just another example of failed institutions. But ignoring the topic of contraceptives because you want to stress abstinence is like ignoring the topic of war because you want to promote peace. The religious right continues their fascist march to silence any views that go against their scripture. And the government and public schools are playing along, at least in Texas.
