I would definitely say that properly educating children and providing for their general welfare is very much "the taxpayers's job".
Sure, but condoms are not.

No, you're an agent of Western powers who try to ruin Russia and corrupt her moralityIMO, condoms should be subsidized and freely given out to anyone who wants them. But I'm a freedom-hating commie.
And no, if all you take is 20 seconds to explain abstinence no wonder it doesnt work. As in anything, there is far more to it than just explaining its definition.
It would be fine if your objection was confined to your own children instead of everybody else's as well. After all, I'm pretty sure you would be more than willing to effectively ruin their lives if they ever get pregnant at an early age because it is "morally right" to do so. But what right do you have to do it to others' children?
What else is there to explain?
1. Ramfications of being sexually active.
2. Methods and things to avoid if one is determined on abstinence.
These will not stop teens from doing it.

Under that line of thinking, shouldn't we be teaching YIC in classrooms, so the kool kids will rebel and go learn darwinian evolution?
I see. So the urgency of going out and becoming pregnant is now a fact?I don't see how that follows at all. Give kids facts, and you can scare them straight. Give them crap, and they act from ignorance.
My belief is that abstinence is simply part of the equation. It shouldnt be exclusive in sex education, but nor should it be excluded. I think it should be given equal weight when being taught to kids. Leave it up to them if they think they want to try that method or not.
Sex is hereditary. Celibacy is not. If your parents never had it, chances are you won't either.

You claimed that aimee's idea to tell students toNow you've entirely lost me. What's your point?
You claimed that aimee's idea to tell students to
"GO DO SEX!!!! HAVE SEX!!! IT'LL MAKE YOU PREGNANT!!!!!"
Would reduce teenage pregnancy. I had assumed this was under the premise that teenagers will do the opposite of what you tell them to. If this is not the case, how on earth would telling students to have sex and become pregnant possibly reduce pregnancy rates?
...You imagine that abstinence only education doesn't teach that?I want students told that sex will cause pregnancy. And that will make it scary enough to discourage some sex and induce more caution in some other sex.
...You imagine that abstinence only education doesn't teach that?
I don't know what you're thinking of but every piece of abstinence only material I've ever seen emphasizes exactly that: If you have sex, you will get pregnant, you will get a venereal disease. So don't have sex.I know it does not. That's been the issue from day one. Abstinence only education does not teach procreation. Only religious values.
