Oklahoma school district giving up on abstinence-only education

Low-income school should have a candy jar full of Plan B in the nurses office.

Low-income areas should have publicly funded Abortion Clinics that advertise with coupons in the newspaper.

The school district in Oklahoma’s second largest city has begun to implement a plan to teach comprehensive sex education in its schools. According to Tulsa’s Channel 9 News, the district plans to launch the program in four selected schools, then expand to include the entire district.

Classes will be taught to 7th, 9th and 11th graders at two high schools and two middle schools. Officials said the state’s status as fourth highest in teen pregnancy has spurred educators to abandon abstinence-only education.

“Forty-four percent of students who become pregnant or who are married at that age fail to graduate from high school, and that’s something that affects them for the rest of their life,” said Tulsa Public Schools spokesperson Steve Mayfield to Channel 9.

Regardless your claim is false.


Abstinence only is not being abandoned, comprehensive sex education is being included.
