So Texas continues to teach the "abstinence only" sex education. Despite the fact Texas teens are having more sex than before, and Texas had at one point the highest teen birth rate in the nation; and they use information like this:
So whats the governor say when he is presented with this information?One Texas public school district's sex ed handout is entitled "Things to Look for in a Mate:"
I. How they relate to God
A. Is Jesus their first love?
B. Trying to impress people or serve God?
Another public school district uses this:
Question: "What does the Bible say about sex before marriage/premarital sex?"
Answer: Along with all other kinds of sexual immorality, sex before marriage/premarital sex is repeatedly condemned in Scripture (Acts 15:20; Romans 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:13,18; 7:2; 10:8; 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Jude 7).
Abtinence works.
Whats the evidence he presents to defend his position? (after getting laughed at)
Blames the teachers for not teaching it right, and his own "personal life"
EDIT:
I didn't see it right away, so I'm assuming our last abstinence is a failure thread was in the old place?
and yeah, I know this info isn't breaking, and likely making the rounds again because this governor may be considering a run at the presidency(?), but holy hell.
