My 13 year old sister is having the abstinence-only classes soon. And I am very upset because these abstinence classes are very innaccurate, which is a danger to public and sexual health.
First, they skip over parts of genitalia. For girls they didn't mention the clitoris, hymen, vulva, or labia. They didn't mention the foreskin for boys. Shouldn't teenagers be told what they have "down there"?
Second, they teach that condoms are only 20% effective at preventing pregnancies and 11% effective at preventing HIV. Apparently condoms are porous and cannot prevent HIV transmission. This is a very incorrect statement and only causes more pregnancies and STD transmissions when condoms are not used.
Third, they say that porn causes people to molest little children. This is blatantly incorrect.
Fourth, they teach that all "first times" are rapes. This is not true.
Fifth, they don't mention other forms of birth control, such as the pill, the shot, or spermicides.
Sixth, they teach that dating started when teens had cars. Dating started hundreds of thousands of years ago, when we humans first evolved.
Please, you parents of Landover Baptist, this is a horrible travesty as our children are being lied to. Please think of the children.
