Of course the public school system thinks more testing is the answer.

Britney Spear's Speculum: Of course the public school system thinks more testing is the answer.

Better teaching is the answer. The DC area is poor and about 65-75% black. I'm not sure it's up to white people to get the black people out of poverty. Or if it's up to black people to get themselves out of poverty. But I sure wish the poverty wasn't there.

At first glance, I thought one of the suggestions said "can i catch herpes from kissing my cat".

//surprised one of them wasn't "can i catch teh ghey"

well done subby

Excellent headline!

OMG! WTF? Now teens are going to have sex.
/in before the abstinence crowd.

ZING!

Yay my first Fark post!

I don't think free tests aren't going to do much. If anything, out of embarrassment, the kids may try to hide it from whoever they're with.

So this is how the nightmare of national heath care begins. Are you happy now, Obots? Sheeple? Libtards? Damn, I can't troll to save my life...

Well in support of this, my girl friend does social work for underprivileged girls. She just had one of her 15 year old girls call her and tell her something was "different" down there ... IE she had probably got a STD.

They'll do more than a lack of testing, since the students cannot disclose what information they do not have. Perhaps this will, with proper education, have more consider proper use of condoms. Choosing between students not knowing and students not disclosing but taking precautions, I would prefer the second.

Well, knowing is half the battle.

I slept with a hot teacher who I was worried gave me and STD, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

Back on topic, this could be put into really good use for ex boyfriends & girlfriends to get back at each other. I feel a Charlie Sheen & Denise Richards type of hell that will happen in the DC schools..

Why is a comics company getting involved in STD testing?

This is the land of the abstinence only education, people don't have sex until they are married.

Whats the point of handing out tests that will obviously be negative?

There was only one "hot" teacher at my school, and it was out cheer leading coach/PE teacher. So luckily I didn't have anything to worry about. Now her husband on the other hand, man I had a crush on him.

Had my teacher's husband found out about us, he'd have had a 'crush' on me too.

What is this "abstinence only" education you speak of? My health class in college actually taught us how to have sex.

I'd like a Fark Independent to explain to me exactly why STD tests shouldn't be supplied by the government and free for all who want them. No, really. Please explain that to me using all your glorious logic about costs vs benefits and incentives and how for the good of society that's better left to the private sector.

Morning, ladies.

It has nothing to do with any of that. It's called "personal responsibility." People make choices. Why should I be forced at gunpoint to pay for somone else's STD test? Where does it say in the Constitution that an irresponsible person has the right to an STD test paid for with tax money forced out of the wallet of a responsible person? I don't want to be a slave to your bad choices. Get your lash off of my back, Stalinist.

Why just high school students?

A little from column A, a little more from column B.

Cutting funding in school districts who test poorly is backwards and self-defeating. The places that need the most help get the least, while bonus prizes are sent to already well-funded districts.

On the other hand, if you've got a culture that seems to celebrate ignorance, it makes it kind of tough. You can throw all the cash you want at the problem and nothing gets better if they continue to shiat on it.

All through my time in public school the majority of blacks were merciless about taunting the few intelligent black students who aspired to do more than to be the best baller in prison.

What happened, anyway? During the height of the civil rights movement blacks fought to go to schools, to learn, to prove they could make something of themselves despite the racism and oppression. Now this new generation thinks intelligence is considered shameful...

aselene: Where does it say in the Constitution that an irresponsible person has the right to an STD test paid for with tax money forced out of the wallet of a responsible person?

Probably the same paragraph that states that an irresponsible person has the right to a pregnancy test and abortion, paid for with tax money forced out of the wallet of a responsible person.

They have an actual Sex-Ed course in college? Was it on Friday nights from 10PM - Sunrise? I thought sex-ed ended when you were 14 and your parents had to sign a permission slip for you to watch "dirty" videos.

littlett's: groininjury: Had my teacher's husband found out about us, he'd have had a 'crush' on me too.

I was way too meek to have ever mad a move on him, but I always liked it when he would stop by to see her. He may have just been a big pervert and was there to look at the HS girls, but I don't think that would have bothered me.

You can always overlook the harmless stuff...but even then I thought it was inappropriate (albeit to my good fortune) to put a 24yr old teacher in a room full of 16yr old boys. I'm not sure her being my swimming coach helped much either.

Will this bring on Jerry Springer & Maury Povich moments? I would love to see that happen...

Hellz no! Penn State actually has sex education classes as well as "Sex Week" where you learn about all the different types of sex. "Sex Week" is held at University Park (the main campus) & I have been to it with some of my buddies. It was really fun!

That's not just true among blacks. And it's not just among the "new generation." In fact, I think milennials are less hostile toward intelligence than past generations.
