As for the "level of interest" displayed here, might it have something to do with the fact that the issue of how to handle teenage sexual education is not just an American concern? I dunno, I'm just guessing.

As far as the subject is concerned I doubt is abstinence teaching has any real effect but I doubt that the alternatives that the left prefers have any real effect as well.

What alternatives does this "left" you speak of prefer? And why do you think they have no effect?
