Their answer to question #3 is wrong. This is an advocacy site no? Why do they think it is OK to lie?

How so? I can't follow the link, but I certainly wouldn't go to King County, WA for sexual education information. They are one of the most liberal counties in the country and an advocacy site themselves.

Because, as with so many issue groups, they try to make everything black or white when in reality the world has many shades of gray. The asked a true/false question, but the correct answer is really "somewhat". Condoms do help prevent some STDs; they're not perfect, but they're better than nothing. But that answer wouldn't fit into the all-or-nothing, easy-sound-bite way policy discussions are conducted in our dumbed-down, simplistic society.
