he teenagers tucked their hands into their sweatshirt pockets as they shuffled to form a circle. Some gazed at the asphalt, trying to avoid the game they had been drafted to play.

“It’s like hot potato/musical chairs, but with a penis,” said the girl leading the group.

The kids gathered on a spring morning in South Los Angeles were about to get a hands-on lesson in sex education.

We have a winner. Never in the whole story was one mention made of just not screwing like rabbits from the time your old enough to have an erection.

“racism and stigma may be to blame”

What, not Climate Change? I suppose that goes without saying.

My Daddy had the talk to me when I was 14 years old which went something like this:

"You are at that age when you are going to feel Mr. P get very hard and enlarged for no particular reason or sometimes because you are in a situation with a girl you will need to retreat from very rapidly. Your brain will function for only a few more seconds if that happens.

God only gave you enough blood circulation to supply your brain or Mr. P, never both at the same time. Once the brain shuts down, Mr. P is in control. Unless you are with the woman you married to and want to spend the rest of your days with, get out of that situation immediately!"

Now, how could it POSSIBLY be his or her fault? Honestly!?

"It’s like hot potato/musical chairs, but with a penis" she said
I'd like to see her version of the Hokey Pokey.

"Liberal mindset"

the liberal mindset merely wants to make the sheeple as weak and dependent as possible so when the totalitarianism gets shuffled in, they won't even notice...

why else push sexual activity on preteens and push pot for the sheeple?..

nothing like a lazy, diseased,drugged populace to rule over...
