Today's abstinence-only education news comes to us from South Carolina, where researchers have yet again found that telling kids sex is bad doesn't work:

The study found that students who took the supplemental courses were significantly more likely to support abstinence messages and to say they expected to abstain from sex at least through high school, if not until marriage, compared with students who did not take the courses. However, the study found that 40% of both groups reported having sex at least once and did not differ in the age they first had sex or their number of sexual partners.

So, kids adopted the holier-than-thou view of sexual chastity but then messed around anyway. Sounds like they're well on their way to being members of Congress, or at least right-wing political consultants.
