History

By May 2015 several news stories in Texas stated that there were about 20 cases of chlamydia at Crane High,[3] out of about 300 students. A spokesperson of the Texas Department of State Health Services stated that the whole county, not only the high school, only had three cases of chlamydia.[4] The state department also stated that in the year there were eight cases in the county as a whole and additional persons were undergoing testing. At the time Crane High used an abstinence only sex education program, and Justin Wm. Moyer of The Washington Post wrote "the problem has attracted attention to questions about the viability of abstinence education."[3]

The school board of Crane ISD was scheduled to adopt a new sex education curriculum on May 19, 2015.[5]

gollark: In US universities you apparently study for four years and do a wide range of sub-courses and whatever, in English ones you typically do three and only really have a few optional modules somewhat related to your chøsen field.
gollark: UK universities apparently do significantly more specialized courses than US ones.

gollark: In the UK I imagine that if you wanted to do maths at a cool™ university you would have to have decent grades at it, at least, and have some good explanation for why you want to study it.
gollark: Well, in that case, bees them.
