"One kick-ass Canadian teen successfully got her high school to drop a required course that taught abstinence-only sex education (via Think Progress). Emily Dawson and her mom filed a human rights complaint against her school, citing that as a an agnostic, she shouldn&amp;#039;t have to attend a sex ed course taught by the Christian group Pregnancy Care Centre in order to graduate. The complaint also noted that the course was full of misinformation and scare tactics. In an official statement, the school has now announced that Pregnancy Care Centre will not be invited back next year, and they are looking for different presenters for the fall curriculum. Dawson&amp;#039;s mother, Kathy, is planning to follow through with the complaint and make sure other school districts don&amp;#039;t force all students to take sex ed classes with a clearly biased agenda.  Studies have proven that abstinence-only sex education is grossly ineffective. States with abstinence-only sex ed have teen pregnancy rates significantly higher than states with comprehensive, medically-accurate sex ed. Think Progress also notes that 60 percent of teens today are misinformed about contraception. Keep fighting the good fight, Emily. Follow Frank on Twitter.
