ORLANDO, Fla. -- A recent survey that found some Florida teens believe drinking a cap of bleach will prevent HIV and a shot of Mountain Dew will stop pregnancy has prompted lawmakers to push for an overhaul of sex education in the state.
The survey showed that Florida teens also believe that smoking marijuana will prevent a person from getting pregnant.
State lawmakers said the myths are spreading because of Florida's abstinence-only sex education, Local 6 reported.
They are proposing a bill that would require a more comprehensive approach, the report said.
It would still require teaching abstinence but students would also learn about condoms and other methods of birth control and disease prevention.
The bill just passed its first vote in a committee, Local 6 reported.

Ha. It's so absurd yet at the same time believable enough to make it really fucking creepy.
You drink enough bleach, you die.
You can't get AIDS if you're dead.
for the least they could possibly do
And how many of these douche bags that will only let people teach abstinence actually kept their dick in their pants through their teenage years? It's called nature, and no matter how hard we hit kids with Bibles (or rape them... ahem, catholics) it won't change anything. It's called accepting reality and doing our best to cope with it. Yes, teens are going to bone. No, Jesus will not help this. Condoms are our friends!

It is 2008 and people they are just realizing now that it might be a good idea to teach kids about condoms? Really? That's crazy.
edit: and where are the parents in this? Why aren't parents "parenting" their children and having conversations with them.
right???????????

Hail, Hail!!!
hehehehehehehehe lol

"What a sick, masochistic lion."
This was my question, too.

so disturbing, yet so funny.
I'm glad you didn't take it as a practice of mine. :eek:
whew, for a moment... I thought you tried something that you read in a bathroom stall at a Florida high school
I am not sure they should be allowed to vote for the people's choice awards!
perhaps the parents are putting "faith" into the abstinence only education...
What's weird is that your stomach is not the primary organ used during sex, so why drink the bleach? A nightly local application, for 2 weeks and you'll be ok kid.
you stud!!!!!!!
