*sigh* Fine. Whatever. Teens are going around and having copious amounts of sex anyways. No longer a teen so I don't really care anymore.

To chime in on this. Back when I was a teenager some 20+ years ago, I knew of at least two girls who had babies while still in Jr. High. Even had a older coworker who mentioned having sex when she was 13.

There are definitely sexually active kids at a young age.

Honestly myself started getting attracted to girls when I was still in Elementary school, but various factors in my childhood preventing me from pursuing my urges.

Actually, the same. It was a ton of pregnancies, but quite a few throughout middle and high school... At least 2 or 3 in middle that I knew about. But I think maybe a couple I didn't know about, as well...

Sorry to disappoint, but it's extremely unlikely. Like I said, lots of religion + pro-abstinence training, none of them were dating anyone until after 18, and so-forth. While it's certainly not IMPOSSIBLE, there was absolutely no evidence that it happened (especially since the class was all pretty close and it likely wouldn't have been secret for long). If you think whatever school you attended is representative of all teens, I'm sorry to say it's not.

I went to a Christian high School (sadly, probably would have got laid a lot sooner if I didn't) and even I knew that teenagers start having sex as early as 13 (especially girls since they start puberty earlier).

Though I can see why unbridled would think this way, the way society acts, they act like teens as old as 16 and 17 are innocent little children.

I thought teen pregnancies were, like, something rare. Like there might be one or two every once in a while, but even if your school had an average of one a year you were well above the 'average'.

My high school had like 5-10 pregnant girls at any given time.

Wat.

yeah my high school had tons of pregnancies and my middle school had a few

your religious upbringing has pretty heavily clouded your perception on what the average is for a lot of teen sex stuff

Yeah I'm pretty surprised an adult would remain this ignorant for so long just because of their own childhood experience but then again I'm not

So rare they made a reality show about them

It's not like I had any reason at all to care. Once I was out of school I never even thought about it except in historical contexts and considered it something that went the way of the dinosaurs once the notion of an age of consent came about. Not to mention I was MUCH more focused on both college and work. I don't think I even seriously thought about trying to find a romantic partner till I was 24 simply because I was more focused on making sure I didn't piss off some commissioner or state rep.

Edit: I don't mean teen pregnancy went the way of the dinosaurs. I meant it being a wide-spread thing.

Show me the books a liberal school board has banned.

Providing a specific example isnt cherry picking, its presenting factual evidence. Now, if all you have is hyperbole and rhetoric, move along.

Conservative Democrats are bad too. Historically, To Kill a Mockingbird has been banned by both political parties it seems.

I find it funny that it got banned but, at least to the best of my knowledge, Mein Kamph and the Communist Manifesto haven't been banned. I guess I wouldn't be shocked if they had been, but I've never heard of it at the least.

Also, now I want a Tequila Mockingbird.

As it got pointed out to me...

It didn't get banned. It got removed from the curriculum. Which is not the same thing at all. Presumably, if someone brought in their own copy, there would be no issue. Additionally they have not banned other books discussing the issue and Maus is FAR from the most important depiction of the events. Even if it WAS a legitimate ban being enforced for the reasons the democrats claim... it's just one school with one school board with reasons that are theirs and there's been no reason to believe it would get bigger. So... Yea. It's mostly hyperbole being stirred up by the media to paint the right in a negative light. Millions of books aren't on the curriculum and books get added and removed all the time for a multitude of reasons.
