I have been reading today's Observer which has a whole article about the American sex education program for kids - which just tells them not to have sex. Apparently there is a survey by Yale which shows that 80 percent of them go ahead and have pre-marital sex anyway and they are more likely to get sexually transmitted diseases because they don't know about safe sex. Oh well.
Also Bush is giving 5 million dollars of the 15 million dollars allocated to fighting AIDS in Africa to fundamentalist campaigns against sex.
It sounds a bit like the junior anti-sex league in Orwell's 1984.
Still "Ignorance is Strength" goes along with "War is Peace" and "Freedom is Slavery".
