Hey Bros: Check Out What This Bro Did When He Found A Drunk Girl Passed Out On HIs Bro Couch
So in case you were unclear, don't assault people, EVER. And learn what informed consent REALLY means. This should be really basic math at this point. If you agree, you should probably sign this petition asking the White House to require that consent be a part of public school sex education... (see petition below)

Make Consent a Mandatory Part of Sex-Ed in Public Schools.
There seems to be a huge misunderstanding concerning what consent is when it comes to sex. And yet -- when discussed with teenagers -- the idea that "unless someone says 'yes', it's not consent," is easily accepted. It's not a hard conversation: Unless you get a "Yes," assume "No." Uncomfortable, maybe, but difficult? Hardly.
Please make the line between a clear "Yes" and anything else -- whether it be someone drunk, asleep, or otherwise unable to say "No" -- something schools must cover in health or sex ed.
If STI information and methods of contraception are standard fare, consent should be, too.

The only sex "education" offered in too many schools is of the abstinence variety.

If abstinence really worked there wouldn't be 7 billion people on the planet.
