Take the Bush/RW Sex-Test here:

Think President Bush wants to skirt the issue of sex? Think right-wing extremists don't know a thing or two about the birds and the bees? Think again, America - anti-choice extremists are here to "learn you a thing or two"

Everything you always wanted
to know about sex, but were afraid to ask the Bush Administration.
Final Exam, Birds and Bees 101

Sex-Ed by President Bush: Can YOU pass the test? Thanks to "Professor" Bush, millions of your tax dollars are being pumped into abstinence-only programs. But what are they really teaching America's teens? Could YOU pass sex-ed according to President Bush? Break out your number two pencils and find out...

Ready? Set? Take the test - click here. http://www.prochoiceamerica.org/sexed/index.html

3. Oh, wow, that takes me back!
In the 50s, the key to "getting a guy" (a main goal for us females back in the "day", for more reasons than I have time to list here)--anyway, the key was to never act smarter than the guy you were trying to "nail" (for the aisle-trip thing, of course!). Sometimes it was soooo hard (sorry fellas!). Yes, it was clearly sexist bs, and I thought it had "gone by the boards" long ago. Sorry to see it's back. BS indeed--the whole Bushie sex-ed thing! Glad they weren't teaching my teens this crap in the 80s!

2. I was surprised they state 50% of gay teens have HIV
God, that's disgusting that they "teach" kids those ridiculous "facts."

4. Now, to get REALLY upset, read this:

Uganda: 'Abstinence-Only' Programs Hijack AIDS Success Story
U.S.-Sponsored HIV Strategy Threatens Youth


(London, March 30, 2005)—U.S.-funded “abstinence-only” programs are jeopardizing Uganda’s successful fight against HIV/AIDS, Human Rights Watch said in a new report today. Abstinence-only programs deny young people information about any method of HIV prevention other than sexual abstinence until marriage.

The 80-page report, “The Less They Know, the Better: Abstinence-Only HIV/AIDS Programs in Uganda,” documents the recent removal of critical HIV/AIDS information from primary school curricula, including information about condoms, safer sex and the risks of HIV in marriage. Draft secondary-school materials state falsely that latex condoms have microscopic pores that can be permeated by HIV, and that pre-marital sex is a form of “deviance.” HIV/AIDS rallies sponsored by the U.S. government spread similar falsehoods.

“These abstinence-only programs leave Uganda’s children at risk of HIV,” said Jonathan Cohen, a researcher with Human Rights Watch's HIV/AIDS Program and one of the report’s authors. “Abstinence messages should complement other HIV-prevention strategies, not undermine them.”
