This. THIS is a sticker my son's public high school just forced all students to put in their science books:
Her son, a freshman at Gilbert High School in Gilbert, Arizona, told her that if students didn't put the abstinence-only education sticker in their textbooks, the student would have to speak with their grade-level administrator.

(32,025 posts)Gilbert is almost all white. AZ is high in teen pregnancy because of high rates among Hispanics and Natives. White 2.8%, Hispanic 9.7%, Native 12.2% and African American 8.4%.

(24,007 posts)And on their science books, no less. Not that I think it belongs on anything related to the school, but on the cover of the student handbook would seem more appropriate, and would also ensure that very few would read it because almost no one looks at those things.

Yeah, that sticker wouldn't last long in my household..
Makes me less embarrassed to admit that I live in Florida.

(21,691 posts)I was denounced publicly by the administration as a "pocket of resistance" to the "strategic plan" of improving test scores by lowering requirements way back in my day. I could have so much fun with this!

(23,730 posts)codes, good clinics/hospitals/midwife centers, various local religions and cultures' views on sexuality and families, intensive sexual education going way beyond just "the parts," a particular focus on minority teen mothers--even real rather than bubble economies that make it easy for new parents to move out or maintain an extended family at home
right?
