Public schools in Washington D.C. are going to start administering a new standardized test to elementary, middle school and high school students. And this one's all about sex.
It's the first of its kind in the U.S., but it probably won't be the last. Should such a test ever make its way to Texas -- notoriously bad at teaching anything but abstinence -- we recommend that students come armed with plenty of rubbers. (Erasers, not condoms, of course. This is Texas.) Can you imagine what kinds of answers students would bubble into Scantrons here? We can. You may now turn to page one of your blue book:
1. Please check one. HIV stands for:
a) Human Immunodeficiency Virus
b) HOMOSEXUAL INFECTIOUS VENGEANCE
2. I have some questions about sex. I should:
a) Research on the Internet
b) Check out books from the library
c) KEEP QUIET AND OBSERVE MY FARM ANIMALS DOING IT
d) Move to another state
3. Please check one. STI stands for:
a) SOMETHING TO IGNORE
b) Sexually Transmitted Infection
4. Joel is a good Christian, but he had unprotected sex once. Though he doesn't have any STI symptoms, he gets tested anyway. The test reveals that Joel has Chlamydia. Pick two rational reactions to this news:
a) This is extremely common, as many men are asymptomatic for STIs

c) JOEL IS A GOOD CHRISTIAN, SO THE TEST MUST BE WRONG
d) JOEL IS GOING TO DIE, AND THEN SWIFTLY ENTER HELL
5. Yeast infections can result from:
a) Stress

a) She gives Dick a hug
b) She tells Dick it's okay to be gay

e) ALL OF THE ABOVE
f) None of the above
7. Girls, if you have premarital sex:
a) No one will want you
b) You'll have to get an abortion, which will render you infertile
c) You'll die
d) You should use protection and enjoy yourself
e) ALL BUT D
8. Condoms:
a) Fail 80 percent of the time at preventing pregnancy
b) Fail 90 percent of the time at preventing STIs

9. Gay and lesbian sex:
a) Is normal sexual behavior
b) IS SHAMEFUL, AND ILLEGAL, IN TEXAS

a) Get a morning-after pill for you or your partner
b) Get a pack of condoms for next time
