>In Texas teaching sex education is strongly discouraged while teaching abstinence only education in public schools is mandatory.

Holy shit, that's even more backwards than my poor backwater Eastern European country where the Orthodox church still has big influence. Teaching sex-ed to kids and giving them free condoms is becoming the norm.

How is this possible in such a wealthy, educated and developed country?

No alcohol before 21, no sex before 18, etc., American kids must be going nuts over there.

Yes, the “I’m moral and will prevent your mistakes” crowd somehow is more determined to win. Teenagers subverting the grownups is part of the national culture.

They forget religion has no place in public life, least of all education.
