Officials with the Crane Independent School District are meeting to discuss their sex education program after nearly two dozen cases of Chlamydia were reported among the high school student body.

KOSA-TV reported the Crane Independent School District sent a letter to parents last week regarding 20 cases of chlamydia among the Crane High School student population, which totals about 300 students.

Those letters were sent to the parents of both senior and junior students as a precaution. The Texas Department of State Health Services notified both Crane and Upton County officials after a significant numbers of cases were identified.

The high school has three days of sex education in the fall semester for students, with the curriculum including abstinence. Crane ISD Superintendent Jim T. Rumage cited abstinence as a useful methodology for keeping kids away from sexual activity in a phone interview Monday.

“If kids are not having any sexual activity, they can’t get this disease … That’s not a bad program,” Rumage said.

Rumage said officials are meeting today to develop a curriculum that will be recommended to the school board on May 19.

Suddenly that abstinence only education program doesn’t seem so dumb effective.

According to other articles, the school's sex exducation curriculum is focused on abstinence.

GIdget2004: “How did they get this information? Aren’t students’ medical records private?”

Not under the " Common CORE " crap program ,
"All your information are belong to us "- the BORG
There is no more privacy under FEDGovt. owned information : your politics ,your familys politics ,cooperation to indoctrination, willingness to go along to get along, etc.

sexual activity in a phone interview

Might be a good way to prevent disease.

***
Perhaps they need a curriculum that emphasizes abstinence and is taught to them by their parents. Suspect the tramps in the school have not gotten too much instruction from their parents in how to behave like a lady.

Chlamydia can cause sterility and it can kill people.

One time during my high school days, all the boys were called to the auditorium. Unusual. No advance warning. Just “all boys meet in the auditorium. What in the world? No idea. We all just figured someone had screwed up and everyone was hoping it wasn’t them.

So, we get there. About 300 of us I guess. Everyone gets settled and the principals behind the podium. Real hard ass. Really.

It seems this girl had moved into town. I guess she had a hard time making friends so she used what the Good Lord gave her. Unfortunately she had the clap and had passed it on to about 8 guys. I didn’t know her by her real name. But her nickname was “Can Do”. Fitting.

Are they mad that their policies are helping up the numbers?

They keep track of everything now. Nothing is ever private with these lunatics.

Democrats clapping with wild applause.... Kids are having lots of unprotected sex. Hopefully they are having lots of abortions too. Liberals LOVE abortion.

Hmmm. The health department, or whomever, will tell the school who has the clap [snicker], BUT will it be reported which girls have abortions?

Back when I was in high school I was selected to go to the American Legion's "Boys State." It was held at a college near Columbus, OH. We were under the care of students from the local college where we were staying in the dorm. One night my group was called together. Our "keeper" told us of a girl in the neighborhood named Betty. I still recall his warning: "Stay away from Betty." I don't know what she had, but it was evidently catching.
