In weighing the pros and cons of funding "abstinence only" programs in our schools you'd want the advice of experts, right? You'd want to know whether such programs are effective in reducing teenage pregnancies, arresting the spread of sexually transmitted disease, and helping our teenagers avoid the emotional and psychological problems that are said to be byproducts of premarital sex.
So, I guess the first person you'd want to ask about these things would be Dagmar Herzog. No?
Who is Dagmar Herzog? Well, it seems that she's a historian (City University of New York) with considerable knowledge in the field of Nazi era German history who spends a good deal of her time criticizing conservative (and middle of the road, and many liberal) Christians and promoting the idea of near unrestrained sexual license for everyone, including teenagers. At least, that's how I understand her.
In a recent video (available here) Ms. Herzog tells us that 95% of Americans have engaged in sex outside of marriage and that "the vast majority know in their hearts that it's made their marriages stronger." Gee... how counterintuitive is that?
