Sponsored by Sen. Mary Lazich and Rep. Jeremy Thiesfeldt, and signed into law by Gov. Scott Walker, SB237 requires schools that teach sex education to promote marriage and tell students that abstinence is the only reliable way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. The bill also allows schools the freedom to teach abstinence-only courses.

I understand the desire for these programs to preferred, but it’s just not realistic to think they will be effective. Everything else in society and biology is driving kids to have sex, I that a good prtion of kids will choose that act. Therefor it is necessary to teach kids how to protect themselves.
Unless Wisconsin has also magically discovered a method of teaching that these juvenile brains that naturally resist advice from others so that their kids will follOw this advice.
