Do you realise that countries that teach sex ed in schools have significantly lower abortion and divorce rates?
A Johns Hopkins University study showed that teenagers who took a virginity pledge had .1% fewer sex partners than those who did not take the pledge. Basically statistically irrelevant.
Unfortunately - even worse, those who did take the pledge were less likely to have safe sex resulting in potentially more STDs and pregnancy.
So why do conservatives want to keep people in the dark about sex? If a 5 year old asks where babies come from - do you tell him a stork? Do you say the same to a 10 year old? How about 16?

Maybe its because Conservatives believe it is the role of the home and not the Government to make those decisions. The schools are doing a piss poor job at the education, so maybe a little more focus on skills would be more appropriate. And then maybe Liberals would realize that realize is not spelled realise.
