Another bit of news from the department of the blatantly obvious.

It appears that in their zeal to keep teens from having sex, abstinence education may be contributing to STD and pregnancies.

In the hit parade of abstinence only stupidity reinforced myths believed by teens:

• Fla. Teens Believe Drinking Bleach Will Prevent HIV
• Drinking Mountain Dew Will Stop Pregnancy
• smoking marijuana will prevent a person from getting pregnant.

Is it any wonder that Florida has the sixth-highest teen pregnancy rate nationally?
