Federal statistics in June showed that 52.9 percent of Texas students in ninth through 12th grades had sexual intercourse, compared with 47.8 nationally. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also reported that Texas youths are less likely to use condoms. All that money and effort wasted on another Bush policy that didn't work. His education policy, a failure, His foreign policy in Iraq, North Korea, Russia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and just about every where else, a failure. His war on terrorism, a failure. His economic policies, a failure. His USSC appointments, a failure. Failure, failure, failure!
The only things Bush does well are take vacations and make up excuses for why he's failed yet another time.
I wonder if all those people who voted for Bush have come to realize just how great a disappointment they are....with Bush's near perfect record of failure, I wonder if they still think that either Gore or Kerry could possibly have been worse? Clarabell the clown couldn't have been worse. |
This doesn't prove that abstinence doesn't work and it is damned idiotic of you to suggest that it does. What it shows is that a significant percentage of teens choose not to adhere to what they're being taught. Based on the stupidity expressed in your post, you might as well say that math education doesn't work since a certain percentage of students fail to use the math they're taught.
Oh, and by the way, it was the State of Texas that spent the money. Bush hasn't been Governor of Texas since the end of the 20th century.
But let's take your stupidity further and see where we can go with it.
English education doesn't work because not all students can read at or above grade level and cannot understand the literature they were required to read.
Laws against murder don't work because people still commit murder.
Laws against theft don't work because people still steal.
Laws against rape don't work because people still rape.
Socialism doesn't work because there are still poor people in socialist countries.
I'm sure we can come up with other examples to show how damned stupid it is of you to say something along the lines of "abstinence doesn't work because some people choose not to abstain."
