My kids get abstinence-only sex ed and it makes me laugh. If abstinence-based education was effective, they could eliminate the problem with childhood obesity by just telling kids to ignore their urges to overeat.<p>To avoid dealing with bullshit from parents, the school hires an outside company to teach sex ed. Sometimes they failed in funny ways. In my daughter&#x27;s class, they handed out a few Skittles and told kids to pass them around as the class went on. After a while they stopped to talk about the candy that had been handled by everybody and asked who would want to eat the now sticky, gross candy. They underestimated how picky kids are when it comes to Skittles - all were eaten.
