You actually expect anyone with at least half-a-brain to put any credence in "studies" manufactured by any of these village idiots, clo? BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Get real, dearie!

If Texas has problems with teen pregnancies and birth rates, it is heavily skewed because of the invasion of Hispanic baby factories flooding across our borders. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Texas parents wanting what is best for their kids and promoting sexual abstinence during their teenage years.

Rick Perry Struggles To Answer Question About Sex Ed: 'Abstinence Works'

Last summer,

Texas chose to pass on $4.4 million in federal funds aimed at sex education for adolescents in the state, 
The Texas Tribune reported.

But according to findings by the Guttmacher Institute, Texas is also the state with the highest teen birth rate and fourth-highest teen pregnancy rate in the country. New Mexico tops the list with the highest teen pregnancy rate and follows Texas as the state with the second-highest teen birth rate in the U.S. Mississippi isn't far behind the two states, with the country's fifth highest teen pregnancy rate and third highest teen birth rate.

With that in mind, critics of the state's refusal of federal funds for sex ed were questioning why, according to 2009 findings by watchdog group Texas Freedom Network, over 96 percent of Texas school districts taught abstinence, but didn't include teachings of responsible pregnancy, safe sex or disease prevention.

The group's study also found, among other things, that "shaming and fear-based instruction are standard means of teaching students about sexuality," and some classrooms that do teach sex education incorporate religious instruction and Bible study. 

HuffPost blogger Shawn Lawrence Otto also notes that teens in Texas who took part in abstinence-only programs were having more sex than before.
