debbie is on the line in cincinnati. do you think abstinence-only programs work?> caller: abstinence-only is absolutely absurd. if we think teaching our kids math is more important than teaching our children about their own bodies, their own spiritu spirituality, if we don't teach our kids how to protect themselves, all about the diseases, the emotional and spiritual aspect also, and i'll tell what you, chuck, a lot of the adults don't even know it themselves. they need to get their butt into a class, a sex education class. i bet most of them aren't even aware of half of the stuff out there. and the reason that the kids lie is because their parents aren't truthful to them. we've either got parents that are too conservative or too lackadaisical. they're the ones with the kids with a lot of problems. and the girl always loses. so if we're not to give sex education to kids, at least let's teach it to the girls because the girls lose. they get stuck with the baby that they probably didn't want but their parents want. they don't have a boy. they have this difficult lif
