Condoms? Not in Texas.

15- to 17-year-old girls in Texas have the nation's highest pregnancy rate, but they won't be learnin' 'bout them condoms in their health education classes. No sir, on Friday the Texas Board of Education voted on a list of approved health textbooks -- and the books recommend abstinence and warn of the dangers of STDs but don't mention (shhhhhh!) condoms or any other form of contraception. The Christian Science Monitor reports: "One offers strategies such as going out in groups, avoiding alcohol and drugs, and getting plenty of rest to avoid having 'to make a tough choice when you are tired.' "

Yeah, advice like that should take care of that pesky teen pregnancy problem.
