Holy shit, that's even more backwards than my poor backwater Eastern European country where the Orthodox church still has big influence. Teaching sex-ed to kids and giving them free condoms is becoming the norm.
How is this possible in such a wealthy, educated and developed country?
No alcohol before 21, no sex before 18, etc., American kids must be going nuts over there.
