Children Are Our (Disease Ridden) Future

Bad news: apparently the jailbait population is brimming with STDs.

In the first national study of its kind, federal researchers have revealed that one in four girls between the ages of 14 and 19 have a popular sexually transmitted disease. The diseases monitored include human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia, trichomoniasis (a parasite) and everyone’s favorite, genital herpes.

Things are looking the worst for black folks'50% of African-American teenagers have one of the diseases, while only 20% of white girls do. Of the infected, 15% have more than one disease.

The president of Planned Parenthood took the news as an opportunity to blast the government’s sex education programs: “The national policy of promoting abstinence-only programs is a $1.5 billion failure,” she said. “And teenage girls are paying the real price.”

In lieu of the current sex ed curriculum, we suggest teachers cue up Nas‘ 1999 album cut “Dr. Knockboot” and let God’s Son spit some real knowledge: “DO: rock a Rough Ryder, whenever you inside her/Your local bodega is your supplier.”
