Other Christian denominations don't put such an emphasis on not using birth control.

And Shmike is right, we're talking about dirty messicans here.

No, they just don't talk about sex at all.

A study by the Texas Freedom Network earlier this year found 94 percent of Texas schools don't give students any sex education beyond urging abstinence.

Didn't see this until now.

Not sure where the statistic comes from, but I can say that's what we were taught in public school.

I believe this ideal of abstinence is obviously one of religious origin, that is my chief complaint.

And when Mexicans don't flush their toilet paper....

I wonder how that 94% of schools breaks down by percentage of student population?

The report was seized by Texas child advocacy and health groups as one more indictment of the state's abstinence-only education policy

Another relevant quote.

Why there can't be objective education is completely beyond me.

That points more to culture than to Catholocism, wouldn't you think? They behave like those they're surrounded by.

Yes, but I would contend that religious beliefs fostered the culture and that they are intertwined.

Fair enough. But was the teenage birth rate disproportionately high for Catholics in the US 20 years ago?

Hell no, there weren't all the Mexicans.

This calamity has two components. Mexican + Catholic = Overpopulation.
