Seventh-grade girls petition for comprehensive sex ed at their school in the South Bronx, N.Y.
  • useless statistics

    "According to the Post, five of the 10 girls behind the petition know a fellow teenager who has gotten pregnant."

    I'm surprised this number isn't higher. If only one kid in a junior high gets pregnant, you'd think that every other kid in her grade, if not the entire school, would know about it.

    I know I'm being pedantic -- this wasn't the focus of the article -- but bad statistics are a pet peeve.
