According to some reports, if you are a student at Crane High School in Texas, there’s about a one in fifteen chance that you have chlamydia. There’s also a good chance that you’ve never taken a sex education course. Coincidence?

Officials from the Crane Independent School District have sent a letter to parents informing that at least 20 cases out of the 300 students at the high school had been reported.

From The Raw Story:

According to the Crane Independent School District Student Handbook for 2014-2015, the district “does not offer a curriculum in human sexuality.” In 2012, the district’s School Health Advisory Committee had recommended Scott & White’s “Worth the Wait” Abstinence Plus curriculum if a sexual education policy was adopted.

In fact, Texas state law requires any sex-ed course to devote more attention to abstinence than any other behavior. And students must be taught that abstinence until marriage is the best way to prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
