I realize what Obama is doing here and the Catholic school system are two seperate things ... I just got a little "ranty".

I went to a catholic school here in calgary and they taught us all about condoms...
and when i went to school, i can't recall a single person in my high school who got pregnant, which isnt to say noone did, just don't recall anyone... meanwhile in the public system....
just my experience.
