ORLANDO, Fla. -- Florida teens who believe drinking a cap of bleach will prevent HIV and a shot of Mountain Dew will stop pregnancy have prompted lawmakers to push for an overhaul of sex education in the state. Another myth is that Florida teens also believe that smoking marijuana will prevent a person from getting pregnant, Local 6 reported.State lawmakers said the myths are spreading because of Florida's abstinence-only sex education, Local 6 reported.They are proposing a bill that would require a more comprehensive approach, the report said.It would still require teaching abstinence but students would also learn about condoms and other methods of birth control and disease prevention.The bill just passed its first vote in a committee, Local 6 reported.
If pot and/or Mountain Dew really prevented pregnancy, we would never have another teen pregnancy. And it would explain the low birth rate among D & D enthusiasts.
And if you think bleach is going to cure HIV, maybe some Mr. Clean will eliminate that nasty acne. You'll never know until you try it. Besides you already have HIV and a baby on the way, so what additional harm can you do?
On a related note, Planned Parenthood has stopped stocking their vending machine with Pepsi products and doobies.
