>>19389235I also grew up in a southern baptist town, albeit with a much lower employment rate (~5%) and probably a larger population (~20,000), and we definitely had an abstinence-focused sex ed program at my public school. They would even sell us t-shirts with the dictionary definition for abstinence. I'm not sure who was pocketing the money from those shirt sales now that I bring that up. It wasn't a very effective program, speaking from firsthand experience.
This is also neither here nor there, but Fox News was constantly playing on TVs in the lobby at my high school.
