I don't believe it. First off, someone could just make this all up - which is probably what this is. Secondly, of you think that anything a teacher says has any bearing on whether teens touch each other's sex bits, you're a bit out of touch.

I believe it. Sowell has been saying it for years: https://townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/2014/01/23/factfree-liberals-part-iii-n1781571 But I admit that I am too lazy to track down the studies.

What are the races of the teens getting pregnant? When taking in massive amounts of inbred sand hillbillies, I think that matters. As a follow up, how far away do they live from Rotheram?

we need teenage birth rates to increase if we are to survive the genocide.

You have to be very careful with correlation and causation here. It's not like that was the only change in that time period. It's also been shown in many, many studies that contraceptive education is a lot more effective than abstinence education.

Yeah this is sounding like one of those "more bars = more churches QED church means more drunks" correlations. With rapid changing demos in the UK l, i dont think there could be any one factor

Yup, this post being upvoted is just confirmation bias.

In a world where we know that data is regularly manipulated to push an anti-white, anti-Christian ideological narrative, I don't know how you can look at any of those "studies" without an extreme amount of skepticism.
Further, how many of those studies are of White children? I'd venture a guess and say not a lot.

The article points out the contraceptive education handed out contraceptives as well - which would be a major confounding factor. Easy access would easily increase the willingness of teens to go at it - and it doesn't take a genius to guess that horny teens aren't always getting it right in the heat of the moment.

Hmyeah ... either the UK is/was doing sex-ed really wrong, or lifesitenews has a very strong bias against sex-ed.
[–] Newtonip 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
lifesitenews dishonestly summarized the study. It took aim at a particular government program (that among other things distributed free contraceptives to students). It never concluded that sex-ed classes don't help. It even cites a study that indicates more comprehensive sex ed reduces teen pregnancy.
